The Headwaters at Banner Elk

The Headwaters at Banner Elk
Refresh Your Spirit at the Source

OVERVIEW
Since 2006, The Headwaters has outsold every community in the Banner Elk market and experienced more home construction than any other in several counties. This is a result of the fact that the amenities are in place and ready to enjoy. Add to this the unspoiled beauty, proximity to the resort town of Banner Elk and the value, it is a delightul community to enjoy

Beyond the staffed gate house, you'll find two lakes stocked with Rainbow Trout, miles of professionally built trails, six community parks, paved roads and a mountaintop clubhouse second to none. The clubhouse is situated on the most prominent property in the development, so every one has access to the best view. This facility features a gourmet kitchen, large gathering spaces, sweeping decks, state of the art fitness center with eleven work stations, game room and 14 seat theater. Every month, a private Chef in Residence hosts covered dish dinners for the property owners and holds a cooking demo.

Nearly two thirds of the property boundary are that of national forests, yet The Headwaters is just 12 minutes from Banner Elk with its upscale shops and dozen outstanding restaurants. It is also home to Lees McRae College which provides a level of culture not often found in a town of this size. Two large ski resorts bring life to the area during the winter months as well
