Seeking a higher standard of living? Discover the natural splendor of Highland Forest, a private community of exceptional beauty located just outside of Waynesville in the heart of North Carolina’s incomparable Blue Ridge Mountains.

Here amidst spring-fed mountain streams, dazzling waterfalls, abundant wildlife, protected old-growth forests and high mountain meadows lies a dream destination for those seeking peace, tranquility and the ultimate in privacy.

The centerpiece of community activities is the Grand Mountain Lodge, a beautiful timber-framed and stone structure with spacious guest rooms, indoor pool, fitness center and spa.
