Bald Rock and The Divide at Bald Rock

The best testement to a developer is when people begin building, and make a [lace their new home.....



To anyone who wants to find the perfect place to live:

My husband and I bought our first lot in Bald Rock in 1999 and built and moved into our home in October of 2000. We have since bought another lot and have built another home. (Bald Rock is part of The Divide at Bald Rock.) You ask why? First of all, not all developers are equal. David Bauer with Westmark Development is a man of integrity and he “walks the walk”. He is a “steward” of the land and does everything he can to protect the beautiful natural forested and mountain views that we have, by protecting and preserving. And what you have are beautiful mountain properties that are pristine that also backs up the Panthertown, a 6200 plus, preserve. He made sure that everyone felt welcome and everyone made friends quickly by all the hosted and scheduled events he initiated, that still go on today and throughout the season.

There is something for everyone here, even if you are not a horse owner. You will soon become a horse lover by seeing all the beautiful breeds of horses that some of our owners have. We have bi-monthly horse games at the community barn with lunch provided. We have families of all ages that come together for all the events. Children are always included if they wish to attend. Many neighbors come to just admire all the different antics that go on with the horses. There are community Pavilion dinners. The Pavilion is a beautiful post and beam structure building in The Divide with drop curtains for inclement weather that Dave Bauer built for all to enjoy. There are 2 beautiful fireplaces, naturally shed chandeliers, kitchen for catering and we have had many, many bands there from blue grass to all the latest dances. We also have Gator/Mule/Polaris rides several times a month riding around different properties and this is a “happy hour” motif. In addition, there are many parties given by the individual owners where all are invited. We usually have a New Year’s Eve party as well.

Life is magic at this altitude that can go as high as 4500 feet. We have miles and miles of trails for mountain biking, hiking and riding. We have young families and grandparents with their grandchildren visiting all meshing together. You can see birds soaring, see bear, deer, wild turkeys, watch a beautiful sunrise or sunset, actually see all the stars at night, and you will know and say, “I am finally back home”.
With sincerity, Joe and Shirley Insoft
