Welcome to the Headwaters

We envisioned a mountain community that would be a source of renewal for residents and visitors alike... A place where you'd have choices. You could relax in the privacy of your mountaintop retreat, enjoy breath-taking, panoramic views, take a hike on the Appalachian Trail, play tennis, go swimming or fishing, take in a show and afterwards enjoy a meal at one of the area's many fine restaurants.

Well, our vision has come to life; new luxury homes and building sites with tremendous views are now available in THE HEADWATERS at Banner Elk... a gated, mountaintop community with world class amenities, located in The High Country of the western North Carolina mountains just outside downtown Banner Elk, NC that offers luxury mountain homes, fantastic view lots and remarkably elegant mountain villas.

This area, well-known as the High Country, is rich in history, cultural events, abundant flora and fauna, grand vistas and four temperate seasons. Whether you're looking for a primary residence or a private getaway, THE HEADWATERS at Banner Elk will prove to be your single source for discovering or rediscovering your true spirit for mountain living.

A NEW GENERATION OF OLD WORLD CHARM

A community as beautiful as The Headwaters deserves to be built upon using
architectural designers and craftsmen of world class stature.
To that end, we encourage you to consider Moss Creek Designs
www.mosscreek.net for your custom home design.

You will not see a brick or stucco home on the slopes of The Headwaters.... it just
wouldn't be right. There is no comparison to a home built using hand hewn timbers,
stone and shingles, not to mention the fine craftsmanship evident in
timber frame construction.

We will help you get connected to the right folks that will make your mountain home dreams become a reality. Or if you prefer, bring your own architect and floor plans to build from a design that is uniquely you.
