Chinquapin
A pristine mountain playground, naturally

And the surrounding Nantahala forest is recognized as one of the most botanically and geologically significant locations in the world, offering camping, canoeing, miles of walking trails and breathtaking beauty at every turn.

Trillium Land Company, developer of Chinquapin, is recognized throughout the region as one of the strongest development teams in the area.
