The Preserve is an approximately 169-acre parcel that lies within the boundary of, but is a separate part of the Laurel Mountain subdivision. Many of the lots in the subdivision directly adjoin this land, with no physical boundary barriers separating the parcels from the Preserve.
When the Developers first saw this beautiful mountain, one of their first thoughts was that much of this land needed to be guarded from development, kept in its natural state for all the homeowners to appreciate and enjoy. Therefore, they engaged Equinox Environmental to conduct a baseline survey of the area to identify the conservation values of the Preserve, including the
sensitive Bird Creek watershed, a wide variety of plants and wildlife, some very rare, and the visual and recreational value to the homeowners. Their report confirmed the feeling that this area is indeed special and needed to be kept in its pristine state. The Preserve contains hiking trails of various length and difficulty that enables one to access all parts of this extraordinarily beautiful land. This is one of the rare parcels in WNC that has not been logged and has old growth forest as well as the aforementioned rare and endangered species.
At or before the termination of the legal control period, this property
will be deeded to the Laurel Mountain Preserve
Homeowners' Association, subject to a perpetual easement as a Preserve.
The easement is owned by Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy of Hendersonville,
NC, which has the obligation of regularly monitoring the use and condition
of the property. This organization is also charged with the duty to assist
the Laurel Mountain HOA in maintaining the Preserve as a healthy environment
for natural and recreational uses. For example, if needed, the Conservancy
can organize volunteers to help keep the hiking
trails clear and safe for regular use.
A complete display of the Preserve and surrounding land will be available to the Homeowners in the Nature Cabin near the entrance to the subdivision. This building is owned by the Homeowners, to be used for the general purposes of the organization.

Ashville: Realestate for the Perfect Mountain Retreat
Laurel Mountain Preserve, near Black Mountain, NC, is situated close to I-40
about 20 minutes east of Ashville. With only 29 lots for sale, proximity to Asheville,
and controlled land development, these are among the most desirable Western
North Carolina real estate listings anywhere. This is a perfect opportunity to enjoy
the seclusion and privacy of days gone by, yet be close to the many benefits
of civilization.
Ashville realestate values (as with much of the land
for sale in Black Mountain and North Carolina) have been on the rise. As Florida becomes more crowded and more expensive, and the weather there becomes more oppressive, North
Carolina mountain properties become increasingly more desirable.
With fewer lots for sale in Asheville, the surrounding communities are growing. Ashville
realestate agencies are expanding, branching out, and helping to drive the Western
North Carolina real estate boom. Are those spectacular mountain vistas and peaceful mountain getaways about to become over-developed? Not where Laurel Mountain Preserve is concerned - read on to learn why.
Laurel Mountain Preserve offers an excellent solution in luxury
real estate. This new development encompasses 430 acres of the most
beautiful land for sale in North Carolina. To keep the beauty of nature, the
developers have arranged for 169 acres—almost half the property—to be set aside as a conservation area. It can't be built up!
With only 29 lots for sale, and with Asheville being only twenty minutes away, this Ashville realestate project is unique. You'll enjoy the peace and quiet you've been seeking, yet be near to the quaint town of Black Mountain and to the highly-popular city of Ashville. You can build that mountain dream home, knowing that when the property
development is complete—there won't be any more land development.
Western North Carolina Real Estate Growth Opportunity
When the developers purchased this unspoiled land, they felt that it shouldn't
go the way of so many Western North Carolina subdivisions. People want to preserve
Nature's beauty, live in harmony with the environment, and enjoy a shared environment
with the flora and fauna.
They contacted Equinox Environmental, a consulting agency in Ashville. Realestate projects don't have to always be an environmental conflict. Instead, with insight and ingenuity, we can create exquisite homes while maintaining the surrounding natural beauty.
How? By privatizing the land and turning it into a preserve. The Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy of Hendersonville, NC, now owns a perpetual easement to the Preserve. The agency, unaffiliated with Western North Carolina real estate agencies, is charged with assisting the Laurel Mountain Homeowner's Association (HOA) in maintaining the Preserve.
10-acre Mountain Lots for Sale: Asheville
The 10-acre lots, as well as the six 1.5- to 2.5-acre cottage lots, are easy to build, which isn't always true of Western
North Carolina real estate. Property owners become members of the homeowners' association, which will own the deed to the Preserve. The project is designed to provide the feeling of old-growth wilderness, while at the same time offering the finest luxury real estate in the country.
Ashville realestate, like most Western North Carolina land for sale, is one of those best-kept secrets that you are very lucky to have found. This is the time to get into the market and not let the "urban sprawl" take over. Laurel Mountain Preserve will always remain unspoiled. It's truly a singular expression of the magic of Nature, in harmony with the comfort of home.
