Morganton, NC  – The River Club is pleased to announce exceeding their initial 18 months sales goals.

“We are gratified, especially in this economic environment, to have the early success that we have had” said Sterling Collett, Managing Partner of the new development.  The River Club has managed to close sales with a high percentage of those buyers who have seen this beautiful acreage on the headwaters of the Catawba River in western North Carolina.

The River Club offers primarily natural amenities.  The headwaters are cool and clean providing habitat for brown and rainbow trout as well as excellent recreation for canoe and kayak enthusiasts.   Walking the River Trail is also a popular pastime.

The new 16-stall equestrian center replete with outdoor ring, covered round pen and miles of riding trails have attracted fifty-percent of initial lot purchasers.
