A Legacy Over Two Centuries in the Making

The beautiful acreage of Heritage Hill has a long and storied tradition of family bonds and the preservation of greenspace. It began way back in 1789, when John R. Gaither was granted 500 acres on the south side of the Salt River. Over the next 160 years,
the land passed from owner to owner, with land added or sold with each subsequent purchase.

In 1948, J.H. Plenge and C.T. Korfhage purchased 414 of the original 500 acres for $48,000 and renamed the property Valley View Farms. The land would stay under their families’ ownership for the next half a century, used for farming and as a family homestead.
