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.

 The vision of Jim Chaffin and Jim Light, developers of Balsam Mountain Preserve, is realized and appreciated every day by the Preserve's residents, but the real genius of what has been created here will be discovered only when the community is completed.  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.

The selection of real estate offerings include dramatic mountain view homesteads with elevations up to 4,700 feet, new home selections from the Al Platt Portfolio of Homes, a special collection of Featured Builder homes, and an exciting private residence club component that is available to only 40 families.

“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.”
