Real Estate

Click here to visit our Interactive Site Map, and notice how much open space there is between homesteads.  That's the benefit of having 3,000 acres of protected land inside the community!!

The families who acquire real estate at Balsam Mountain Preserve are true visionaries.  They have made a thoughtful and conscious decision to create a true legacy homeplace for their families, and it's a decision that their future generations will enjoy and appreciate fifty years from now as much as the present generation does today.

With only 354 homesteads nestled into 4,400 acres, or one home for every twelve acres, residents will feel as if they live in a national park, since nearly 70% of the community is protected and will never be developed.  And since every property touches a portion of the 3,000 acre Preserve, the level of privacy and seclusion found here is unmatched by most other mountain Club communities, which are primarily focused on maximizing residential density rather than minimizing it.

Balsam Mountain Preserve - Boarding House Private Residence

Boarding House Private Residence Club

Balsam Mountain Preserve was developed as an authentic and highly livable community. As you wind your way up the rhododendron-filled private drive to the Boarding House Lodge and Cabins, you'll see this philosophy come to life right before your eyes, like nothing you've ever seen before in the North Carolina mountains.

“We decided to buy here because of the low density; we’re living in a 3,000 acre park.  The peace and tranquility here top anything I’ve ever imagined.  At times it’s like living in an aviary; the birds surround us in the treetop canopy.  At night I fall asleep listening to the stream and the tree frogs.”

- Lisa and Sal Guerriero, Norristown, Pennsylvania
