With a keen eye bent towards conservation and nature, the developers of Creston in Western North Carolina take on a serious role of creating a mountain community that's in harmony with its surroundings. As a result, the atmosphere is quiet, simple, and serene allowing the natural beauty of the surrounding landscapes to take center stage. 50% of the community's 1,100 acres is to remain undeveloped for all residents to enjoy. Encircled by pristine hardwood forests that are home to a rich diversity of native flora and fauna, the environmentally sensitive community features private mountain homesites carefully arranged so each provides solitude and mountain views, leaving the surrounding natural habitat untouched. Furthermore, Creston has created a partnership with the Foothills Conservancy of North Carolina to ensure the preservation of Creston's mountain views, hardwood forests, waterfalls, and hiking trail system. This strong emphasis on conservation and nature is what sets Creston apart. Residents can enjoy the dramatic long-range mountain views and hike to creeks and waterfalls knowing their investment will be protected for years to come. However, this "back-to-the-basics" mentality does not mean all modern conveniences are forgone... the thriving nearby cities of Asheville and Black Mountain beckon anyone to indulge in all things urban and cultural. Creston offers a selection of homesites to suit a variety of lifestyles, ranging from smaller cabin retreats to spacious estate properties.
