Milky Way Farms of Tennessee, LLC is the newest venture for South Carolina-based New Horizons Communities. More than just a real estate development company, New Horizons understands the delicate balance between new development and the existing environment of a site.

The individuals that make up New Horizons have over 40 years combined in real estate development. We focus that experience on adding value to premium properties. New Horizons examines the particular character of each parcel of land and develops a concept that aligns perfectly for all involved.

To date, the collective experience of the partners in New Horizons Communities has created over $100+ million in real estate sales.

YOUR PARTNERS

Charles Ausburn Long before he evolved as a respected developer, Charles Ausburn had an abiding respect for nature and a keen awareness about the environmental impact of over-building. When a close friend enlisted his help in a remodeling project, Charles refused to cut down an old oak tree and insisted his friend let him frame the new deck around the tree. Tree and deck have lived in harmony for more than three decades.

In 1993, Charles partnered with Janie Clardy to start Ausper Construction; they have worked together on a myriad of projects since.

Charles made his mark in the development community with his first major project off the coast of South Carolina, Islands of Beaufort. Charles secured this pristine peninsula in late 1997, just as property values along the coastal Carolinas began to soar. Located along Battery Creek, just minutes from downtown Beaufort, South Carolina, the community was designed to blend naturally with the Low Country greenery, marshes and deep water close to shore. The 196-homesite community, including Cotton Island and the exclusive Deer Island, features homes designed by William Poole and is regarded as one of the most prestigious in an area.

Mickey Joy is a 1972 graduate of Gardner-Webb University. In January 1973, he began his career working at Century Automotive, where he worked with Charles Ausburn as a Service Advisor. He moved to a position in sales in June 1973. In 1990 Mickey was named president of Century Automotive, where he remained until August of 1998 when the company was sold to Sonic Automotive. While with Sonic Automotive, Mickey was the Regional Vice President for North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia in charge of 15 automotive dealerships. In August of 2006, Mickey retired and became a partner with Charles Ausburn and was named the Vice President of Sales and Marketing for New Horizons Communities.
