This affordable eco-community is built under the principles of sustainability, style and community. On-site amenities enable families to enjoy a simple, natural lifestyle while living instep with cutting-edge sustainable technology:

Our variety of homes offer something for every budget, yet all are built to the highest standards by our carefully selected team of Western North Carolina’s top green builders. Our stylish eco-cottages are designed and constructed with high performance, affordability and quality in mind. We offer an extensive range of green and finish upgrades, enabling you to customize your home to fit your budget and needs.

Many Americans have increasing concern that our country has been building monocultural subdivisions, oversized wasteful homes, and socially divisive communities for over 50 years. “Americans are due for a prolonged shift away from the consumption obsession of the post-World War II era” (Time, June 29,2009.)

At the Villages at Crest Mountain, we believe there is a better way.  We believe in the fundamental community ideals of balance and responsibility. We believe in social and ecological diversity and that built environments can be healthy, productive and stylish.  We choose smart over big, health over indulgence, community over expediency, inclusion over division.
