Ralph Bradford,
Wellington, FL (Home Owner)
“Just wanted you to know that I believe that the quality and care exhibited by Headwaters is a direct reflection of your management and we really appreciate it.”
Allyn & Cathy Stanton,
St. Louis, MO (Condo Owner)
“We toured Western North Carolina for years and had property under reservation elsewhere when we found The Headwaters. John gave us a tour and we fell in love with it. We stumble upon a new discovery every day…the waterfalls, the lakes, the trails, the parks. We were going to make this a second home, now we spend more time here than St. Louis. Everything continues to exceed our expectations.”
Harry & Marcia Hersh,
Brays Island, SC (Home Owner)
“Putting the clubhouse on the most prominent view lot in the property was a demonstration that all the property owners will benefit from John’s vision. Its not often you find a developer willing to give up prime acreage for a park or amenity area. We love it up here.”
Rich & Nora Williams
Emerald Isle, NC (Home Owner)
“We spent years researching communities, but when we toured The Headwaters, we were blown away. John has thought of everything, with lakes, parks, tree houses, clubhouse, fitness center, theater, etc. Not only that, but he puts everything in up front, so that gave us a comfort level we didn’t find elsewhere. One thing that impresses me is how well maintained everything is, all year long. We were concerned with access in the winter but the roads here are better maintained than anywhere else we’ve lived. We started out thinking this would be a seasonal home, but we’ve now put our coastal house up for sale and are moving here full time. It has been a wonderful experience.”
Lloyd & Sharia Johnson
Newland, NC (Lot Owner)
“The Headwaters has done everything right. From the beginning there’s been no short cuts. Everything is first class. We’ve been in this area our entire lives and have seen developers come and go, but John has done more in three years that most get done in ten. The grounds are immaculate and the parks are something out of a storybook. It just doesn’t get any better than this. We know, we’ve seen them all! John’s reputation in this area is without blemish.”
Frank Wimbush
Owner, The Azalea Inn, Banner Elk, NC
“We host many couples at our B&B who are looking at all the developments in our area. Consistently, we hear good things about The Headwaters and the management team there. It is primarily their integrity and sincerity that impresses these couples, not to mention the great property. The development which stands out head and shoulders above most and is certainly better than any is, The Headwaters.”
John Barnette
Barnette Builders, Banner Elk, NC
“I have been building homes in the High Country for twenty years and been involved in many developments. The Headwaters is truly a one-of-a-kind community. It delivers everything that other developments only promise. It’s an easy sell with lakes, long range views, waterfalls, walking trails, clubhouse gate house and adjoins national forest lands. It is truly a beautiful and remarkable place and when you add Christian and family values, it’s a home run.”
C.L. Hughes. III
Attorney, Newland, NC
“I have worked closely with John Haynes and found him to be a brilliant businessman and an honest and trusted client. John has devoted countless hours and boundless effort to The Headwaters and I can personally attest to his success. In my opinion Headwaters is the leader in sales and integrity in the resort development business.”
