developed and carefully tucked in the peaceful Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina is set amidst hardwood forests and an abundant diversity of native flora and fauna.
This could be just the place for you. An environmentally-sensitive community, it features Western NC mountain homesites situated to maximize privacy and a connection to a wonderful system of hiking trails, mountain views, waterfalls, and nature-loving neighbors.
Creston's Significant Features: Beautifully landscaped with native plants, and rockery here you will find Earth-friendly chip and seal paved roads, miles of walking and hiking trails that lead to 1,000+ acres of gorgeous land. You can take a picnic to Waterfalls or stroll down the road to a breath-taking mountain overlook. (see photo)
"The Creston Community believes that quality of life and natural splendor go hand-in-hand.We share an ethic of preserving the natural heritage of the mountains," say John and Marilyn Nelson the developers. " Our vision for Creston Community was inspired by shared ideals of conservation, responsibility, and environmental sensitivity. For this reason, Creston Community has partnered with the Foothills Conservancy of North Carolina. ...." Now, conservation easements ensure the natural heritage residents can cherish and enjoy in forever protected beauty.
One of our favorite spots at Creston adjoins the conservation acreage. We visited the owner last weekend. It seems the perfect place to build a LEED® Certified second and/or vacation home.And we know the perfect General Contractor who just happens to live right at Creston! You can take this as a clue in terms of what you might expect in this Asheville area community.
Here is a video featuring the owner of that building site, currently one of Asheville's finest For Sale By Owner/FSBO finds. Leading directly to the National Forest via hiking trails, here you can keep an ear out for the sound of wildlife and the waterfall as you enjoy nature close-at-hand.There are a number of unique building sites ranging in price from approximately $120,900 to $545,000 currently available at Creston. Yet, this remains one of our favorites, and we have long been in the business of finding incredible Land for our clients, whether that be Land for Sale by Owner or Land listed on the MLS.
