Heritage House gave Mr. and Mrs. Thomasson the capital to launch the new family business. Their personal homes were ordered, the children sold their townhouses in the city, and everyone moved into a large home in Woodville, which Roger Batchelder, local realtor, dubbed “the family togetherness house.”
A workshop was set up in Woodville to serve as a cabinet shop. To promote the “turnkey” option, Mrs. Thomasson has rearranged the lower level at Country Heritage to simulate rooms as they might appear in one of their projects.
“We can already see that there is a demand for Country Turnkey Properties,” said Mrs. Thomasson. In addition to their own homes they are building a log cabin overlooking the Shenandoah River for a D.C. Realtor, have clients for two log packages, are planning a full “turnkey” cabin as a romantic retreat for a local bed-and-breakfast, and doing a restoration and log addition to a property in Washington itself that will serve as a “showcase” for their work.
“A ‘turnkey’ used to be a jailor,” noted Mr. Thomasson. “Now it refers to someone who liberates people from the bother of the city and frees them to the joys of country living.”
