Tresca’s At Highland Lake

The headlines love drama, but real life is more useful than hot takes. We kick things off with a clear, local look at the Henderson County real estate market in Western North Carolina: more than 130 additional single-family homes sold in the past 12 months compared with the prior year, average prices hovering in the $540,000 range, and days on market stretching as buyers take a little more time. Even with interest rates in the mid to high 6s, homes still move because moves are driven by real transitions like downsizing, upsizing, right-sizing, estate planning, and changes in family or work.

Then we shift from market data to community energy with our guest, Leslie Milhouse from Tresca’s at Highland Lake in Flat Rock, NC. Leslie shares her hospitality story, her New Orleans background, and how that experience shapes the way she thinks about food, service, and building belonging. Tresca’s truly is a hidden gem, and once you find it, it feels like a small community inside a community with gardens, gathering spaces, and a peaceful setting by the lake.

We get into the details people actually want: the Tuesday farmers market with live music, the cafe hours, the newsletter that keeps everything straight, and the upcoming fall dinner series called the Tresca’s Test Kitchen where guests give feedback that helps shape the future dinner menu. We also talk locally sourced ingredients, the role of the on-site garden, and how the property supports events, retreats, and even places to stay.

There's an ebb and flow. There's the there's there's really four cycles of the market. You have the top, you have which you don't know when you're at the top until things start going down, then there's the bottom of the market, you don't know when you're at the bottom until things start going up, but there's this long-term ebb and flow of the market, and there's supply and demand, and there's you know, there's interest rates, there's the impact of the economy, and guess what? Real estate sells because life

Local Market Snapshot And Real Talk

SPEAKER_02 2:42

is happening. And frankly, here, just a quick snapshot on the market. In the last 12 months in Henderson County, it's been over a hundred and thirty, uh, 130 more single-family homes have sold in the last 12 months than the previous 12 months. So, you know, even though the the news might say the sky is falling, that we've actually here locally have had more homes sell in the last 12 months than the previous 12 months. Our average price is down slightly. Uh average price is at in the 540s, uh, actually uh in the five 541 in change and and days on markets a little bit longer, uh buyers are taking more time, and even with the interest rates, because interest rates have been, you know, they've been hovering in the mid to high sixes, guess what? There's still been more homes selling. And so it's just context and your unique home, your unique situation, you know, if you're curious about what your home is worth, if you're curious to want to talk about, you know, what your investment properties look like in regards to maybe your estate planning or tax strategy or your personal house or your upsizing, downsizing, right sizing, you know, we'd love to have that conversation.

Introducing Tresca’s And Today’s Guest

SPEAKER_02 4:45

This morning, uh one of the things that I love, I'm so passionate. I I'm a little biased. I grew up in Flat Rock and grateful to have our our real estate office in Flat Rock for a number of years now. We're there on Rainbow Row, and one of our dear friends and neighbors has some exciting news. Uh, you know, Tresca's at Highland Lake uh is is an amazing, an amazing uh restaurant and venue and and community uh center, which we're so this morning I wanted to share uh with our listeners about something you might not be aware of. Flat Rock, a lot of people think of you know, Flat Rock, Rainbow Row. We have our friends at the bakery and the barbecue and and all there on Rainbow Row. And the George Real State groups are grateful to be part of that uh there in uh on Rainbow Row and Flat Rock and and our dear neighbors, Treska's is really literally around the corner. But this morning we have Leslie Milhouse with us of Treska's. And I wanted to share it's an amazing uh experience, and I wanted to share with our listeners if they're not aware of Treska's to come out, but again, I wanted to talk about the story behind it and all the things that you're doing. Uh I I imagine not everybody knows yet. I mean, everybody's a lot of people are probably familiar with Highland Lake, and a lot of people may or may not be familiar with Treska's. And so welcome this morning, uh Leslie Milhouse. Uh good morning. Thank you for being here.

SPEAKER_00 6:10

Thanks for having me. Yes, no, uh, I feel like it is it is a hidden gem that uh people we every day we get new people that find out that we're back there. Um it's just kind of off the beaten path a little bit. You have to look for it, but uh once you do, it is a it's a beautiful, amazing place with a wonderful community spirit, and uh everyone should check it out.

SPEAKER_02 6:29

Absolutely. I look so I gotta ask, when did you first become aware of I mean, had you always been aware of Highland Lake and I think?

SPEAKER_00 6:36

I really hadn't. Um my dear friend Elena Ellis, who was the uh

Leslie’s Hospitality Story And New Orleans Roots

SPEAKER_00 6:40

the the event coordinator there, um she kind of introduced me to it uh while she in her years working there. Um and I went to drop some things off to her, and that's the first time I ever saw it. And uh I had recently closed our restaurants down in on Flat Rock, so we uh I I said, Oh well, maybe there's a job here for me, maybe there's this place here for the first time.

SPEAKER_02 6:59

Yeah, there's an opportunity that came together. That's amazing. Uh and okay, before we get into that story, you have a rich history in the restaurant and hospitality industry here in Hendersonville.

SPEAKER_00 7:12

Here in Hendersonville, yes. Um I moved here about 13, 14 years ago, maybe. Um I think it was 2014. Um, and I started working at Neverblue. Um, and I started as a waitress and I worked my way up and I started an event program for them, um, doing, you know, really all of the events in-house and out-house out-of-house catering. Um, and then over the course of COVID and all of the things, I uh I became the general manager through that time, and I was the general manager there for many years.

SPEAKER_02 7:41

That's amazing. I mean, Neverblue uh it was such a staple of our restaurant community in Hendersonville, and and you were part of that, which is amazing. And really, and again, you think of when you when Never Blue first opened, I mean there were there wasn't that many restaurants on Main Street, and then now we look at what's happened on Main Street in the restaurant. Uh there's a lot of restaurants there.

SPEAKER_00 8:03

There are. There's a lot, there's a lot, and it's very different. The feel of the restaurants is very different.

SPEAKER_02 8:08

It's not what it was before. No. But again, you've been involved in this industry. Was there do you do uh growing up? I mean, did was there something that impacted you as to like I love being in this industry?

SPEAKER_00 8:19

Being with well, we ha I have a I have an interesting history. My my dad is actually a former uh retired uh narcotics officer for the NOPD. Um and then in his second half of life, he started a gourmet alligator jerky company. Really? Yes. What an awesome story. Yeah, so my family kind of worked in that business, and so we had what you would consider to be uh a food truck, but it was a stationary, it was actually a boat in the French market in New Orleans. And so we all took turns working there for my dad, and uh it was just a super fun thing to do, and it's a really cool experience to just learning that how much fun it is to just talk to people constantly, which is the job, you know, when you're in the in the hospitality industry. Well, it's a relationship thing. And being able to communicate, yeah. And I love that, and I love going in, and uh it it it it's really fun for me, especially in such a small town, to build such personal communities, um uh personal relationships in the community. Yes, you know, where really it it feels so nice that everybody kind of knows each other here, and that's been a great part of it why I have no interest in in really doing anything else. And I enjoy my job.

SPEAKER_02 9:26

It shows, yeah. And I mean it's amazing. And thank you for I had that's an amazing story. So by the way, small businesses, which you got to experience firsthand with your father doing that. I mean, it's a it's a tremendous uh labor of love. Right? I mean, like again, the uh America's built on the backs of small businesses and the community and the impact it makes. Were you guys, I have to ask, with New Orleans with uh Katrina. Yes. Was that part of the catalyst of your move?

SPEAKER_00 9:56

No, no, not not not not part of the catalyst of my move. Um obviously Katrina was a huge was hugely impactful on everybody's life there in some way or another. Right. Um and when we um uh we actually moved here because my in-laws were um trying to get away from the storm because they lived right on the water and they were tired of dealing with discrimination and all the things. So they started traveling around western North Carolina, um, did it for about six months and settled in Hendersonville, and uh we started to visit them more and more frequently. Um and then there was a essentially there was a bet between my husband and I that we would try it out for one year. Um and we've been here for 14.

SPEAKER_02 10:35

Isn't that amazing? By the way, we hear these stories, always curious how people uh discover Hendersonville. We he I mean I'm I'm in a sense on a front row of being able to to see and hear people's stories, how they found out about Hendersonville, what was you know, what brought them here, and again that that's amazing. So again, with the background and with your father and growing up in the food industry, and then as it's evolved, and and I promise to our listeners we will get to Rescas, but I think this is this is amazing. It puts context on I think it's it's part of your story.

SPEAKER_00 11:05

Yes, it is. It's a it's a it's a big part of my story coming from those New Orleans roots, you know, they run deep. So it influences how I uh in the hospitality and the food that I make and well, you know, how I what I want to present to the public.

SPEAKER_02 11:18

Yeah, and your vision, yes, and and what you're doing. That's amazing. Thank you for sharing that.

The Vision Behind Tresca’s At Highland Lake

SPEAKER_02 11:22

Thank you. So Tresca's and and for our listeners, Tresca's is in is on Highland Lake. It was uh it was a vision and curated uh Carrie Lindsay with and Highland Lake has a rich history here. I mean uh and and in my uh limited um knowledge of Highland Lake, uh the if I can go back to it was a it was a Catholic camp at one point back in the I think in the twenties and the thirties, and then uh you know it evolved and and then to what it is now in the di the residential development and then the the restaurants and the community. I mean like it's it's been this incredible uh evolution and vision there in Highland Lake and what they've curated.

SPEAKER_00 12:04

And now Tresca's the most recent the most recent addition to the property, yes. So it is it has a uh you know, Carrie Lindsay, who owns the property and the Lindsay family, they just have uh such a a vision of what they want that place to be for the community. Um and you know, tr the the newest addition to it was Tresca's, which is named after his mother. Um and so it was an uh the idea of making it into a cafe, um, be the ability to host social events, to do dinner salons, um, you know, just different things. He really truly strongly believes in food as a way to bring the community together. Yes. And so that is the it was the it was, I think, the probably the natural evolution of the next thing to add to that property. To the vision of the property, you know, because it also contains the community gardens, and then there's the retreat center and um all of the the you know the the housing that has come up around it, so it is its own it feels it feels as though it's its own little community within a community.

SPEAKER_02 13:06

It is, it's remarkable, and I know we're just scratching the surface. Yes, and and there's more to be said about this. Um and and so grateful to have Leslie Millhouse with us with Treskas. We have a short break coming up, and so we we do have more time to talk about you have some incredible offerings. Yes, and you have incredible uh there's uh ongoing events, there's music, there's community dinners, there's the cafe, and again, what we're so we do have time, I promise you, to talk more about this. But Leslie Millhouse with Trescas is here uh on the queue with us this morning, sharing about the incredible uh again, thank you for sharing your story. I loved hearing that. And uh again, we everybody has a story, and and we're so grateful to to to be able to share, share part of that. Uh you're listening to the George Real Estate Group live radio broadcast here in the queue. We love connecting. We love real estate is uh is a connection, right, where people bring their families together. And again, uh you know, meals bring families together, and it's all this is again ultimately about relationships. So if you're curious about you know how real estate might impact and where you are in your life, whether it's again downsizing, upsizing, thinking about your estate planning, and we can have these conversations, but love supporting our local community. Uh, we're here with the George Real Estate Group live radio broadcast kind of queue. We have a short break, but we have so much more to talk about with Treskus when we come back. So stay tuned in.

Again, it is one of those places if you've not been there, and it is truly, you mentioned it's off the beaten path. That's okay. And it's worth it.

Uh we have wonderful Lori Worthy is out there. She's baking fresh pizza and making fresh bread all through it. Um it's a super family-friendly experience where you can come out and listen to music, have dinner, do a little shopping. Um, our last market of the season is actually tomorrow night. Uh, but we have decided to extend the music and food portion of that uh going into the fall. So we're gonna continue to do Tuesdays, uh live music, uh Tuesday tune, something we haven't given a cute name yet, but we're working on it.

SPEAKER_02 16:47

And this is is this all accessible? Is all this information where's the best place for people to find this information? On your website or on social media?

SPEAKER_00 16:57

SPEAKER_02 17:09

So do you okay, that's a big deal. Again, the the farmers market, which is gonna extend. Tomorrow's the last uh summer market. And then you're gonna have music and and food offerings through through the fall.

SPEAKER_00 17:19

Right. And then we have two larger markets, uh the seasonal ones that'll happen on Sundays. Um, and that one I believe is on September 22nd, and then there's another one in October. Um, and those are our large, uh, very large sort of artisanal markets where you come out on Sunday afternoon, which is not one night, a day that we're typically open out there, um, and you're gonna have a lot of local crafts. Um the and no September is our pollinator festival, so everything is very much themed on bees and honey and um all of the things coming in, you know, the seasonal things that we have right now. There'll be um our few our food will be offered, there'll be live music all day, all those things. So we really love to do those markets, and we have a great setup for it. If you've ever been out there before, we have a lovely pavilion, and then also on the grounds is a really cool outdoor amphitheater.

SPEAKER_02 18:06

Yeah, absolutely stunning. Stunning.

SPEAKER_00 18:07

It's a really great pavilion.

SPEAKER_02 18:08

It is so peaceful out there and beautiful. And we were even talking during the break that uh one of the queues on Izzy has performed out there before.

SPEAKER_00 18:17

Oh, yeah. Big hit. So that's amazing.

SPEAKER_02 18:19

So again, incredible music offerings, incredible uh you know, offerings in general. And then you guys have like normal cafe hours, right? Like your regular regular uh options to come out, not seven days a week.

Test Kitchen Dinner Series And Feedback

SPEAKER_02 18:32

So you guys have specific days.

SPEAKER_00 18:34

Right. Well, we're building on it right now. So the cafe opened in March. Um was kind of a quiet, slow opening. Um, and uh it is um open as of this week, it is open Wednesday through Saturday from eight to two for uh breakfast and lunch offerings. Um and then starting next week on September 10th, we are gonna be open for um a dinner series, a fall dinner series on Thursday and Friday nights.

SPEAKER_02 18:58

Amazing. Is this your you were saying this was is this the test kitchen?

SPEAKER_00 19:02

This is the test kitchen. I'm calling we're calling it uh Tresca's test kitchen.

SPEAKER_02 19:05

And what does that mean for someone that maybe have never heard that term before?

SPEAKER_00 19:09

Well, it is uh idea of, you know, we live in a community where very much um our business is based on locals and um, you know, and and older folks, retired folks, people that keep coming back. And so uh what we'd like to do is try to lean in on their opinions of what they want this nighttime restaurant to be. So rather than just present a menu out there and say this is what we offer, we're gonna do a series where we're gonna try different items. And you want feedback. Oh, here if feedback is the point. And so we want everyone to get involved, tell us what they like, what they don't, and it you know, how what they'd like to see us have. And we're gonna run a good eight-week program into the fall of that and take all of the knowledge that we gain and try and build a really great menu that the community itself designed going into the next season.

SPEAKER_02 19:56

Oh, that's so exciting. So, again, the that's gonna be upcoming uh the test kitchen.

SPEAKER_00 20:01

It starts on September 10th, yes. And that's gonna be uh reservations recommended for that one. We would we would like to know if you're coming.

SPEAKER_02 20:08

And then you guys also you have your your your Wednesday night dinners, right?

SPEAKER_00 20:13

Like your

Community Nights Newsletter And Property Activities

SPEAKER_00 20:14

The Wednesday night, uh so we have our Wednesday night community after hours. That's what I was referring to. And that is just a uh a time for everyone to come in. It's at five five to five five thirty, I believe it starts. Uh that's just sacks, but it's uh they they try to come up with a talking point that everyone can get it. It's about a conversation. It is, it's about a conversation with friends.

SPEAKER_02 20:33

And bringing the community together. Exactly. And I know the best way probably for this, you guys do a a a newsletter, right? Get on the email list.

SPEAKER_00 20:42

Newsletter goes out every Tuesday. It's gonna highlight everything coming up that week and anything you can anticipate in the weeks to come.

SPEAKER_02 20:48

That's probably the best way to get information in addition to your social media, right? Like get on the l get on the email list, the website. It's treskas.com. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 20:57

Treskas.com.

SPEAKER_02 20:58

And that's amazing. So, you know, the your weekly uh days that you're open for the cafe, you have the the Wednesday night dinners, the test kitchen.

SPEAKER_00 21:07

And there's always something else going on that property. It's evolving in life. There's, you know, there's other things. They are there are activities that happen at the retreat house, there are drum circles, there's yoga, there's all kinds of things that happen within the property. And uh when you come into Tresca's, there's a big billboard right out front, and that is where you have all of the on the the the other ongoings on the property that you can check out.

SPEAKER_02 21:31

Again, it is I I'm so excited about what you guys are doing, and it's amazing. I've experienced it. It's awesome. That's why I was so grateful for you to come on the radio to share about what you're doing.

SPEAKER_00 21:42

Well, thank you for having me. I really would love to get the word out there to more and more people to come, you know, come check us out. Because I think once you find the place, you fall in love.

SPEAKER_02 21:50

You will, and you'll be back.

SPEAKER_00 21:51

Yes, and you'll be back.

SPEAKER_02 21:52

And you'll get familiar how to get there. It's it is off the beaten path, which is okay. That's part of the the magic of it and and the locations. Stunning.

SPEAKER_00 22:01

And the food is

Local Sourcing From Garden To Plate

SPEAKER_00 22:02

really good.

SPEAKER_02 22:03

Now you you incorporate food from the garden, right?

SPEAKER_00 22:08

It's a that is a it's a that's a huge driver of what we are trying to do is to incorporate food from our local garden the garden on the community, on the property, um, and to try and pull as much as we can off of there to serve in the restaurant.

SPEAKER_02 22:23

And locally sourced. Locally sourced and all of our you know, and literally from your garden, the community garden. It's this is ending up on your plate.

SPEAKER_00 22:30

Right. And then the things that, and you know, for other things we can't get, we try to work very much within the community. We get our beef from Warren Wilson College. You know, our bacon and sausage comes from Hickory Nutgat Farms. We really try to keep it as local as possible.

SPEAKER_02 22:42

Yeah, you're very intentional.

SPEAKER_00 22:43

Uh very intentional.

SPEAKER_02 22:44

Yeah, it's amazing. But I I love the fact that again, in this vision Carrie Lindsay has about bringing the community together, uh, you know, people can can share their their their stories, they can have conversations around whether it's around the meal or around snacks. Again, it's this it's this you're facilitating conversation.

SPEAKER_00 23:02

Correct. And that really started off as an idea that Carrie had that he did a small dinner series that he called Friends Over Dinner. And it was a ticketed event that you could come in, and some aspect of the dinner was always interactive. Um, and then there were always talking points on the table, and it was meant for people to sit communally and have a meal that would have otherwise not, you know, their paths might have crossed.

SPEAKER_02 23:23

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 23:23

So that's where we we are bro we're growing on that idea to, well, let's see if we can incorporate some kind of dinner program that's a little bit um more just concrete that we run all the time for people, but still have that input

Weddings Retreats And Staying Onsite

SPEAKER_00 23:38

and have that idea of bringing the community together.

SPEAKER_02 23:40

It's awesome. Do um I didn't have any specific agenda for this conversation other than to share and to to be curious and to hear uh do you want to talk about your team?

SPEAKER_00 23:50

Do you want to talk about I mean what other and make sure we're covering So we have a wonderful team and you know there are a lot of other things that can be done on the Treskus property. So um Miranda Wildman, who is our new event coordinator, um she is lovely and she's handling the aspect of all of the different parties and weddings and things that that our wonderful setup can be used for because it is very versatile. And you know, if you're looking for a place to have a birthday party or a wedding or you know, and it uh anything at all, we can probably accommodate it. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_02 24:21

Well, the the pavilion itself, yes, and then the amplitude looking over the lake. Yes, the the building is beautifully, beautifully done. I mean, just again, it's you have to come out.
