"Absolutely Viewtiful" is the tagline for this rustic mountain community tucked away at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina. The views are impressive at Contuck Preserve- a mountaintop and riverfront retreat where residents can relax, recharge, and renew.
With uncommonly large lots, this 104-acre development offers just 22 homesites, guaranteeing each homeowner the privacy and seclusion. Set along 3/4 of a mile on the Green River, residents can indulge in the scenery by camping, fishing, kayaking, or simply wading out into the cool waters. Hiking trails also weave throughout the riverbanks and community with rustic campsites and fishing holes sprinkled along the way.
The building principles behind Contuck are firmly rooted in the desire to protect and preserve the beautiful land that surrounds. Covenants and architectural guidelines will ensure that the picturesque views, Loblolly pines, and calm waters survive for generations to come. The rustic appeal of the Craftsman-inspired architecture connects residents to the natural surroundings. Contuck is in a prime location- just a few miles from scenic Lake Lure and historic Tryon- so residents have many options when it comes to shopping, dining, and exploring.
