Discover an extraordinary opportunity to build your custom mountain retreat in Creston, one of Western North Carolina’s premier gated conservation communities. Situated on a rare 4.22-acre homesite at the end of a private cul-de-sac, this exceptional property offers breathtaking year-round long-range mountain views, unmatched privacy, and a setting protected on two sides by HOA common land. A level, roughed-in driveway leads to a spacious, gently sloping homesite ideal for creating a luxury mountain residence while taking full advantage of some of Creston’s most spectacular vistas. Existing improvements include a private well and completed 3-bedroom soil evaluation, helping streamline the building process. Proposed for the site is a stunning custom residence by Living Stone Design + Build, one of the nation’s most acclaimed luxury green builders and recipient of the National Association of Home Builders' 2023 Custom Home Builder of the Year award. Designed by renowned architect MHK Architecture, this thoughtfully crafted mountain-modern home will offer approximately 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and an open-concept floor plan that seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living. Expansive windows frame the surrounding mountain landscape while filling the home with natural light. Soaring ceilings, refined finishes, a welcoming fireplace, and thoughtfully designed outdoor living spaces create an atmosphere of comfort, sophistication, and connection to nature. Built to Green Built and Energy Star standards, the home reflects Living Stone’s commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, healthy living, and high-performance construction. Enjoy peaceful mornings overlooking the mountains, evenings gathered around the fire, and a lifestyle centered around the natural beauty of Western North Carolina. Creston encompasses approximately 500 acres of protected conservation and community land, offering residents private hiking trails, waterfalls, parks, the renowned Triple Falls Sanctuary, a mountaintop clubhouse, fitness center, dog park, paved roads, underground utilities, and high-speed internet. Conveniently located just 20 minutes from downtown Black Mountain and approximately 30 minutes from Asheville and Lake Lure, this is a rare opportunity to create a legacy mountain home with one of the region’s most respected builders in one of its most sought-after communities.
