The Story of The Preserve at Avery’s Creek
A long-time developer, active pilot and aviation enthusiast, developer Fred Spiegel is no stranger to turning a blank canvas into something others value and enjoy. For more than 40-years Mr. Spiegel has been offering great value to homeowners within his projects, opting for more luxuries and amenities at a fair price point to speed up the sell-out of a community.
Fred came to Asheville over 10-years ago flying some friends home to Asheville on his plane, when the friends invited he and his wife to stay for a few days of relaxation in Asheville. After spending some time in Asheville, and the mountains, he fell in love with the area and started getting involved in some real estate, including helping his friend turn around the management of a large luxury condominium project. And he did that successfully, just like he did on dozens of other projects he’s turned around in his development career.
Shortly thereafter, Fred began to buy and develop other properties in the area, and when someone brought him to the property that would later become The Preserve at Avery’s Creek. “As I walked through the property, I fell in love with the feeling I got from the property and it’s natural beauty. I knew I could build something beautiful, of exceptional quality and something people would be proud to call home”
Fred self-funded all of his projects, including the Preserve at Avery’s Creek. He hired some of the best engineers, architects and land planners in WNC to help create the ideal design to fit the topography of the property. He meticulously moved dirt and graded the elevations so they would suit the landscaping and perfectly cradle the homes that would be built. After four long years, he’s completed all the developments infrastructure and houses are now being finished…and sold. As a matter of fact, Mr. Spiegel will soon be moving into his own home at the Preserve at Avery’s Creek.
