Just 30 minutes from Asheville, and 20 minutes from Black Mountain, Three Creeks is a wonderfully small and beautiful mountain community within the eastern escarpment of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina between Lake Lure and Old Fort.

The 277 acre woodland property lies within a mountain cove having single access and is defined by natural topographic boundaries. The natural beauty of the land is complemented by numerous and varied elevation changes, meadows, springs, tributaries and prominent waterfalls. Little Cedar,  Bailey and Taylor Creeks meander throughout the property.

EXCLUSIVE:  

An ideal community with only nineteen 3±  acre homesites within 277 acres. The surrounding park-like common land is deeded to the owners to be enjoyed by all. Homesites have been thoughtfully selected. Choose your site along a creek, beside a meadow, in the forest or on a hilltop. Comprehensive covenants require custom homes properly sited and subject to architectural review. Utilities are underground and roads are paved.

 

PROTECTED PRISTINE SETTING:  

Three Creeks Community offers a retreat-like setting for families. Abundant water sources, prominent waterfalls, meadows, forest, swimming pond, trout fishing, trails and a community cabin represent the significant features. 

It's conceptual uniqueness derives from deeding 70% of the land to the owners as common land which cannot be developed. Meaning specifically that 70% of the property surrounding all Homesites is Common Land and is deeded to the landowners themselves. 

Community administration is through a property owners' association having clearly defined objectives for maintaining the quality of life at Three Creeks.  This protected land encompasses waterfalls, trails and other outstanding or environmentally sensitive areas.

Comprehensive covenants require custom homes to be properly sited and subject to architectural review and approval. Endorsement of the covenants by virtue of acquiring property assures that the residents will be of similar philosophy. Stewardship of the land at Three Creeks is held in high esteem. The preservation of native plants and trees, creatures and their habitats are protected by the covenants.

Enjoyment of the land is enhanced by a stone and timber cabin overlooking the Lower Falls.  Family outings, reading, and fishing for rainbow trout are just a few of the simple pleasures that can be enjoyed  

Footbridges and connecting trails lead to a mountain overlook or to a spring-fed swimming pond with a shelter. Trails wind through areas hosting a variety of plant and animal life made possible by the diversity of terrain and water resources.

The guiding principles of Three Creeks are the preservation of nature for the enjoyment of the owners, a place to live that is peaceful and secure, and the enhancement of property values.

HOMESITES:

The residential properties, surrounded by the common land, consist of 19 individually designed building sites situated close enough to create the security and well-being that good neighbors provide, yet are far enough apart for privacy and uniqueness of location. The sites are wooded and vary from creek-side to hilltop. The adjacent common land invites homeowners to be part of a pristine mountain environment simply by taking a walk.
