The Settings of Black Mountain

The Settings of Black Mountain
Live above and beyond

 

OVERVIEW
Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains and only 15 minutes east of Asheville, The Settings of Black Mountain reflects the relaxed charm, artistic spirit and panoramic views that draw millions of visitors to this region every year.

The Settings overlooks the historic town of Black Mountain, where eclectic shops, eateries and galleries abound. And just 8 miles from your door, the Blue Ridge Parkway can take you to some of the most picturesque spots in North Carolina.

The Settings offers a variety of home site choices, ranging from cozy cottage sites to Grand Estates of nearly 10 acres at the top of the mountain. Some of these enclaves of tranquility and beauty are situated next to a 100-acre conservation area, so nature in its purest form is always right next door. Spanning 364 acres, it offers some of the most amazing panoramas in western North Carolina, 40 percent of which have been preserved as permanent natural greenspace.

Guided by respected real estate professionals Richard W. McWhorter and Marc H. Wilson, The Settings Development Companies is committed to environmental stewardship and a thoughtful approach to community design. You’ll love exploring this spectacular natural setting with a tranquil stroll or a vigorous hike through our extensive trail system all connecting to community sidewalks. Naturally placed gazebos and picturesque overlooks parks create the perfect place to watch the sunrise. And just 8 miles from your door, the Blue Ridge Parkway can take you to some of the most picturesque spots in North Carolina.

Founded in 2004, it hasn’t taken long for it to become one of the premier residential development companies in the Southeast thanks, in part, to their "convenient seclusion" philosophy. The company's flagship property is located just three miles from the town of Black Mountain and 15 minutes from Asheville.

With it’s altitude of 3,200 ft, summer average temperature of 72 degrees and four distinct seasons, The Settings is the perfect place to discover and enjoy  the calming influence of the Western North Carolina Mountains.
