NEW SPEC HOME SOLD AT ECHELON, HOME OF THE GEORGIA TECH CLUB Atlanta, GA. October, 2005 Atlanta, GA. October, 2005 – A new spec home built by Tom Campbell of Campbell Homes, Inc. recently sold at Echelon, Home of the Georgia Tech Club. The 5,500-sq.-ft. home overlooking the first fairway of the Georgia Tech Club golf course sold to Joey and Kelly Dixon of Roswell. They expect to move into the house in February, 2006. Echelon consists of 230 estate homesites, each over one acre in size on approximately 610 acres located in Atlanta’s northern quadrant. "When I first saw the house it was no more than 60% completed," said Kelly Dixon. "Tom Campbell was immediately able to convince us of his taste and craftsmanship in how he builds homes, so we immediately went ahead with the purchase. We love the idea of the community, the home has all the features we want, and the Rees Jones golf course will be wonderful." The Georgia Tech Club within the Echelon community will consist of an 18-hole Rees Jones championship golf course, a clubhouse including a golf pro shop, dining area, club lounge, health club area and locker rooms. The golf clubhouse is being designed by Georgia Tech alumnus Niles Bolton. Niles Bolton Associates has been responsible for some of the finest clubhouse designs not only in the Atlanta area but also across the country. There will also be a Tennis Club designed by former U.S. Open and Wimbledon champion, Stan Smith, and a Swim Center. Joey Dixon was a member of the Georgia Tech golf team in 1985 through 1987. One of the years Dixon played the Tech team was ranked number one in the country. Fellow team members included Charlie Rymer, Bill MacDonald, Jay Nichols, Bob McDonnell and Nacho Gervas. "The home is good for us both in terms of its character, which is traditional, as well as its features," said Kelly, who has spent her career in residential real estate, currently affiliated with Coldwell Banker. "The kitchen has two islands. There is an outdoor fireplace, which we’ve always wanted, two terrace levels, laundry facilities downstairs and on the upstairs bedroom level, but most importantly, the basement is large enough to accommodate our home offices. We both work out of the home so that was a critical component. Everything in the home is the way we want it; it’s in a great community that will have useful amenities, the golf course will be world class, and we thought we got a good value. We couldn’t be happier." The Georgia Tech Club has an affiliation with Georgia Tech through a license agreement with the Alumni and Athletic Associations that entitles direct marketing access to alumni, boosters, supporters and friends. Georgia Tech will receive royalties from the sale of memberships and operating income. The Club will be managed by Troon Golf of Scottsdale, Arizona.
