Located in mountainous Madison County, North Carolina, only 30 minutes from Asheville, The Preserve at Little Pine is a gated mountain community with over 75% of the land protected through conservation. Thousands of acres of national forest surround Little Pine and the Blue Ridge Parkway, Mount Mitchell (the highest point east of the Mississippi), Cherokee Indian Reservation, and the Folk Art Center of the Southern Highland Craft Guild are also close.
Home to the DIY Network’s 2009 Blog Cabin, Little Pine is the 2005 Southern Accents Showcase Community, partly because there is a ratio of 15 conservation trust acres to every homesite. The Preserve at Little Pine has also received awards from Pinnacle Living Mountain Homes, including "Most Environmentally Conscious Planned Community" in 2005 and "Best Preserves" in 2008.
Acreage: 1,800 acres (720 hectares)
Gatehouse: Gated with manned security.
Clubhouse: The social hub of the community, the Mountain Lodge is the perfect spot to gather with friends, family or neighbors for special occasions. Modeled after circa-1900 American lodges and perched 4,200 feet atop Grassland Mountain, it offers incredible 60-mile views of the Blue Ridge Mountain Range.
Equestrian: The fully staffed Equestrian Center includes 20 stalls, an indoor riding ring, turn out paddocks and a seemingly endless network of trails, meadows, pastures and farm land to roam. Boarding, grooming and riding lessons are all available.
Fitness: State of the art wellness center adjoining lodge.
Recreation: Wine-tastings, BBQs and bluegrass music at the community's W.C. Ward Pavilion. Mountain biking, horseback riding, fly fishing and a community garden are also available within the community. Nearby, the local Hot Springs Artisans Market is a weekly event and there are whitewater rafting and fishing outfitters, music festivals, canoeing, hunting, swimming, and tennis in Madison County.
W.C. Ward Pavilion: A recreational spot inside the preserve community, the pavilion features a complete outdoor Viking kitchen, a central stone fireplace, a stocked trout pond and restrooms.
Observatory: Adjoining the lodge is a celestial observation facility with an electric roll-off roof and a warming room. Located at 4,200 feet elevation, the observatory is equipped with a state-of-the-art 16-inch Meade f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, one of the most powerful telescopes in the region.
Hiking: Within the community, regional biologists guide nature walks through the old growth forest and 4,000 feet high mountain meadows.
Stone Creek Campground: Stone Creek Campground offers spacious, wooded sites that can accommodate both individual tent campers or group family campouts. Enjoy an outdoor cookout with family and friends under the covered pavilion or roast s’mores by the fire pit.
Owners Country Store: Fully stocked, self service country store, inside the gates to offer residents basic supplies on the "honor system." (planned)
