Creston Community

Black Mountain, North Carolina




At the Creston Community in Western North Carolina the noise and stress of everyday life gives way to the soothing sounds of nature, welcoming you home to a private mountain retreat. You are sure to become one with Mother Nature, awestruck by the ambiance that is pure natural beauty.

With 50 percent of the 1,100 acres of property undeveloped, Creston certainly is dedicated to preserving the environment. The land, protected by conservation easements through the Foothills Land Conservancy, features hardwood forests, tributaries, native plants and abundant wildlife.

Creston’s amenities encourage you to revel in the stunning scenery, but more importantly, to get out and enjoy the great outdoors. Hiking boots on, take to the trails that pass pristine creeks and waterfalls; sit a spell at Creston Park, complete with shelter and a warming fire pit for the cool days; and pause at the mountain overlooks that make you feel tucked away from the rest of the world.

Choose the lifestyle of your dreams at this land conservation community. The “Cabins at Creston” offer a rustic, yet cozy haven among lush scenery. Homesites within the “Cottage Neighborhoods” are perched on private ridges, featuring breathtaking pastoral views with mountains as the perfect backdrop. Select the angle of your mountain view on the traditional sites that range between two and four acres. Or, create a family compound or stately retreat on a five- to eight-acre homestead site.

Warm and Cozy: On top of the mountain, catch up with neighbors or settle by the stone fireplace with a good book at the Creston Community Center.

Stay Connected: Though your home is in the high country, Creston offers high speed bundled broadband service that allows you to easily connect to the Internet.

A Perfect Fit: Creston’s 1,100 acres are expansive enough for exploring nature’s splendor, yet secluded to offer you a private mountaintop retreat.

That Secure Feeling: Just knowing the entrance to Creston is gated will give you peace of mind.

Mountain Highs: Elevations reach between 2,100 and 3,100 feet, offering sweeping views that will take your breath away.

The Air Up There: Summer temperatures will practically summon you outdoors to enjoy the sweet mountain breeze.

The Nature of Things:
The undisturbed beauty at Creston is priceless. As you walk the trails or just meander throughout the property, you’ll marvel at the natural wonders tucked into each nook and cranny of the preserved landscape.

Watering Holes: Follow the footpaths to the serenely flowing creeks and gently falling waterfalls – truly a chance to unwind amidst the sounds of nature.

To Your Health: It’s only 20 minutes to the nearest healthcare facility, Family Care in Black Mountain. Or, Mission St. Joseph Medical Center in Asheville is 35 minutes away.

Location is Everything: Creston sits only eight miles from the town of Black Mountain and, via Interstate 40, only 15 more minutes from Asheville. So while you feel miles from the hustle and bustle, great dining, shopping and cultural experiences are a short jaunt away.

What They’re Saying About Us: Residents appreciate the natural beauty, the outdoor recreational opportunities and friendly folks that make Creston so special.

Lots to Choose From: From cabins to homesteads, Creston features sites suitable for the high country home of your dreams.
