Nestled within the grandeur of the Western North Carolina Blue Ridge Mountains, Queens Gap offers the landscape, lifestyle, hospitality and warm atmosphere that have made the mountains of North Carolina a famous destination for decades. Enveloped by unspoiled forest and panoramic vistas that extend for 80 miles, you can spend your days golfing, horseback riding, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, tubing, shopping and dining just minutes from your front door.
With a home at Queens Gap, you will feel miles away from your everyday in a place so secluded that even pretense won’t find you. But when you want to enjoy an afternoon strolling through galleries or an evening at the Symphony, the vibrant city of Asheville is just a 50-minute drive away. Add to that the charming village of Rutherfordton and nearby town of Hendersonville, and you have a variety of places to spend your days at play.
Queens Gap has strived to create a community that celebrates and promotes “a life well-lived.” Whether it's in the protected natural environments where the pace is set by a gentle wind rustling through the leaves of a century-old tree, or in the amenities created for you to enjoy with your family playing the days away – each part of Queens Gap has been designed to leave the best of Mother Nature intact while creating the incomparable lifestyle you so richly deserve.
Perched on a ridge with long views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Wellness Pavilion blends the organic with pure luxury to take rejuvenation to a whole new level. Rediscover your natural balance and cadence of life at the luxurious Spa, workout in a state-of-the-art fitness facility, or relax in the indoor pool surrounded by nature’s splendor. These unique concepts in resort living will fulfill your family’s need for both activity and tranquility.
Gear up for your family’s day hike or fishing trip at the Outfitter’s Lodge, a cozy getaway that can fulfill your every outdoor need. A community gathering place both before and after your outdoor play, the Outfitter offers gear for every adventure whether stargazing by night, or kayaking by day. Want to try something new? Head here to arrange lessons or a guided tour for activities such as bird watching, canoeing or water skiing on Lake Lure.
Size Matters: The community’s 4,000 acres provides you with plenty of room to explore the great outdoors, but also tucks you into the peaceful seclusion of your private mountain home when it’s time to escape life’s hustle and bustle.
Mountain Highs: Sweeping vistas from elevations reaching 1,075 feet create the perfect ambiance for a relaxing rendezvous in the rocking chair on your back porch.
The Air Up There: Located in the isothermal belt of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Queens Gap features much balmier average temperatures than in other mountainous areas of North Carolina.
Food For Thought: The Clubhouse restaurant will offer 5-star creations that will take your taste buds on a journey all their own. From Italy and France to Southern specialties from home, the executive chef will create unique menus the whole family will enjoy. For more casual dining, with locations at both the Outfitter's Lodge and Clubhouse, The Grill offers a perfect setting to grab a quick bite. These treats are matched only by the fruity sensations that you can enjoy at the Wellness Pavilion Smoothie Stop Juice Bar while overlooking the views from its spectacular site.
The Nature of Things: All paths lead to secret pockets of unspoiled beauty. With miles of hiking trails that traverse along mountain streams, up grassy knobs, through heavily wooded forests and past “Shelf Rock” (a favorite hiding place for cuddly critters), the word “nature walk” finds a whole new meaning. Along the way, resting spots that blend with the surrounding nature – a cove of Aspens, a large boulder beside a waterfall – are picture perfect places to take a well-deserved break.
Tennis, Anyone? The Queens Gap Tennis Complex boasts the finest quality materials, including DecoTurf (the same surface used on the U.S. Open courts) cushioned by a thin layer of rubber and specialty lighting to enhance post-dusk play. No detail has been overlooked for even the most discerning player.
Location is Everything: Queens Gap is only 10 minutes from Rutherford County Airport and is easily accessible via U.S. Highway 221.
