The Villages at Crest Mountain

Asheville, North Carolina - The Villages at Crest Mountain in Asheville, NC, incorporate the ideals of sustainability into a community where residents live, work, and play. The Villages at Crest Mountain embrace ecological diversity and focus on harmony with nature, implementing the latest green technologies to encourage a diverse and sustainable community lifestyle.
The homebuilders are pioneers in the WNC green building movement and ensure that our eco-cottages are built with quality, efficiency, and style at the forefront.
The majority of homes surround the Central Gardens located on nearly two acres of sun-filled land. Residents enjoy a comprehensive edible landscape, common garden, a greenhouse, orchard, vineyard and berry patches. Community gardens are irrigated by the village's water harvesting system and each homeowner can create a custom landscape for their home site.
There are over a 1/4 mile of garden trails and over two miles of adjacent hiking trails. Future plans for the Villages at Crest Mountain include trail connections to the Woodfin Riverfront, giving residents bicycle access to the French Broad River, Beaver Lake, downtown Asheville and Woodfin.
The Villages at Crest Mountain can be the community of your dreams, not only giving your family a sustainable lifestyle, but also the best quality of life. Take a sneak peak at The Villages.
