| Balsam Mountain Preserve is the lowest density community in western North Carolina. Offering a concept rarely found in today's homogenized, digitized world - a true sense of place.
Only 354 homes will nestle into this high elevation 4,400 acre private community, an average of one home for every twelve acres. Created with a commitment to preserve its natural surroundings, 3,000 acres or nearly 70% of the community, has been placed in a permanent conservation easement, ensuring it will never be developed and will always remain for future generations in its present park-like state.
You might think the privacy and seclusion of a true high elevation mountain retreat comes at the expense of location, but this extraordinary private, gated enclave is less than 40 highway minutes from downtown Asheville, and just 5 to 10 minutes from the charming "main street" towns of Waynesville and Sylva. What makes this even more viable is the fact that the entrance is off of the four lane highway 23/74. Most mountain community have access off mountain roads and sometimes pass neighbors that do not match the same quality as the development.
In addition to all the wonders of nature, members will enjoy a spectacular array of Club amenities, including Arnold Palmer signature golf, an Equestrian Center, hiking trails, stream fishing, soft surface tennis courts, a heated junior olympic pool, private family camping, and much more. A Nature Center captures and stimulates the wonder of each who enter this magical place. www.balsamtrust.org
The selection of real estate offerings include dramatic mountain view homesteads with elevations up to 4,700 feet, Featured Builder homes, and a very special private residence club that is available to only 40 families. This private residence program offers owners the flexibility of reserving two guaranteed weeks each season (a total of eight weeks annually), coupled with the added benefit of unlimited additional time on a space available basis. The Boarding House Lodge and Restaurant is just steps away from each cabin, offering the ultimate in dining convenience while you treat your senses to spectacular views from every vantage point. Perhaps the best part of the Partners Program is that owners enjoy the pleasure of full Club membership while in residence.
Balsam Mountain Preserve's Club Membership opens the door to a palette of amenities that the entire family can embrace and enjoy. Far from being just a golf membership, the variety of options here appeal to every generation. The common thread, though, revolves around the great outdoors.
This is a place first and foremost for families that enjoy getting out from behind the television and the laptop and interacting with nature. Depending on the season you could enjoying a quiet round of golf with friends in the morning, meeting friends or family for lunch at the Pavilion or Boarding House dining hall. If this is not enough then on to an early afternoon swim, and then finishing up the day with a hike along the upper or lower Sugarloaf Trail, admiring the beauty of natural waterfalls and botanicals. Or the day might include walking in the snow or a brisk hike to the top of Double top Mountain. Naturalists have scheduled hikes each week-end and also offer special programing which includes children's camps during holidays or summer months.
"What we like most about Balsam Mountain Preserve is the opportunity to spend relaxing time with family and friends. When you drive past the gatehouse the stresses of daily life seem to melt away. I love the golf course and when my kids and grandkids are here we love to hike and go to the campsite for picnic lunches.
