Rich Lee, the telecom executive who bought Peter Loftin's North Raleigh mansion in January, has purchased the remainder of Loftin's 71-acre estate for $4.55 million, according to Wake County property records.
Lee, along with custom homebuilder Rex Bost, is reviving Loftin's plan of creating a gated community of several dozen lots abutting Falls Lake.
The community is to be called Alpine Creek Estates. (Lofton had called his project Still Creek)
Lee sold his Raleigh company Hosted Solutions for $310 million in December. He originally planned to travel the world, but decided to get into real estate development after visiting the property.

I had the opportunity of a lifetime - the modern-day equivalent of Willy Wonka's golden ticket.
A colleague presented me with not one, but TWO tickets for a free buffet and drink for myself and a guest at the grand re-opening of the Golden Corral on Glenwood Avenue.
This wasn't going to be an ordinary night of salisbury steaks and soft-serve - the new and improved restaurant now offers make-your-own doughnuts and a chocolate fountain.
But no one would go with me. Not even my wife, who more than a year ago vowed to stay with me through thick and thin, sickness and health, doughnuts and liquid chocolate.
No colleagues accepted, either. Jason Foster, our new North Raleigh News editor, has been here five weeks but already acts like he's from Cary - too elite to dine among us mere mortals at North Raleigh's foremost food free-for-all.
A populist, he is not. I guess they don't have buffets in Rock Hill.
Why didn't I fly solo, you ask? Because as much as I love a Blue Plate Special or three, it's not cool to dine alone at any place that doesn't have a drive-through window. I hope that feature's coming soon.
