Featured Homesteads

Homesteads on Balsam Mountain Preserve offer breathtaking mountain views, soothing stream sounds and dramatic elevations. Whether it’s soaring layers of mountains with sunrise views or sunset over the closest peak, each setting is different. Elevations range from 3,000-4,700 feet, and homesteads average one to two acres. Every property touches a portion of the 3,000-acre conservation easement, ensuring a level of privacy and seclusion that residents in other mountain Club communities can only imagine.

Mountain view homesteads start in the $250,000s, making Balsam Mountain Preserve one of the best real estate values in the entire Southeast, especially when you consider the concept of the community and the richness of the Club amenity offering.

"When I think of Balsam Mountain Preserve, I smile and feel warm inside. It's a slice of heaven here on earth where peace and tranquility are a way of life. I look forward to the day when I can step out onto the deck of my own home at Balsam Mountain Preserve, nestled among the trees with the solitude of the neighboring preserve lands ensuring lasting beauty. There are not many places in the United States that can boast the serenity which can be embraced here. Throw out the blood pressure medication and take a walk on the calmer side of life".
