The developers of this extraordinary mountaintop property in the high country of western North Carolina set out to create a serene haven for homeowners who truly appreciate the sublime natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The result is a well-balanced and conservation-minded master plan encompassing 97 spacious lots spread over 284 wooded acres, with private walking trails, natural waterfalls, a stocked fishing pond, abundant stands of mature hardwoods and more than 55 acres preserved as open space for all residents to enjoy.
The terrain reaches elevations up to 4,620 feet - higher than any point in the immediate area - and some homesites are literally on top of the mountain, offering unobstructed long-range views over the surrounding countryside.
Buyers will be able to bring their own custom builders into the development to build in conjunction with architectural, community and natural resource covenants designed to uphold the value and appeal of each property.
Despite the marvelously secluded atmosphere, Elk Creek Mountain is a quick and beautiful drive from Charlotte or Winston-Salem, and residents will have easy access to Boone, Blowing Rock and other charming mountain towns in the area.
Acreage: 284 acres (115 hectares)
