Description The lowest density private club community in the mountains of Western North Carolina, Balsam Mountain Preserve offers a way of life that is authentic and family focused. Only 354 homesites will nestle into this 4,400-acre private community, an average of one home for every 12 acres. Created with a commitment to preserve its natural surroundings, nearly 70 percent of the community has been placed in a permanent conservation easement, ensuring it will never be developed and will always remain for future generations in its present park-like state. Every homesite touches a portion of the 3,000 acre Preserve, offering a level of privacy and seclusion that residents in other communities can only imagine. In addition to all the wonders of nature, club members enjoy a nationally acclaimed Arnold Palmer Signature golf course, an Equestrian Center, a heated junior Olympic pool, soft surface tennis courts, a fitness center, fine dining, 34 miles of private trails, 38 miles of streams (including a Class “A” North Carolina trout stream for fishing), a private family campground, and a 24 hour staffed gatehouse.
Arnold Palmer Signature Golf At elevations reaching 3,700 feet, the course rewards the senses with stunning scenery in seemingly every direction. The design and slope of the course allows players to see every shot and provides generous landing areas, making it a pleasure to play regardless of the golfer's skill level. Alongside the Palmer course is Balsam Mountain Preserve's golf practice park. This ultra-modern learning center features 30,000 square feet of bentgrass teeing area spread over three levels of tees, plus a short game area and a large practice putting green.
Where Recreation Meets Relaxation
The Sports Camp is anchored by the Pavilion, an open-air structure that features a large great room complete with comfortable seating, card tables, a high definition television, and family games including pool, foosball and ping-pong. Kids and adults alike compete there at pool, table tennis or foosball.
The Nature Center
The variety of activities include guided nature hikes, bird watching classes, family focused programs led by a full-time activities director, a visiting artist program, and 12 summer kids camps.
Dramatic Views from Up to 4,700 Feet Homesteads on Balsam Mountain Preserve offer breathtaking mountain views, soothing stream sounds and dramatic elevations. Elevations range from 3,000-4,700 feet, and homestead sizes average 1.5 to 2 acres. Adding to the sense of openness, every property touches a portion of the 3,000-acre conservation easement. Homestead prices start at just $350,000, making the community a solid value compared with other private, full-amenity communities in the North Carolina mountains. Homes available for purchase start at $1.25 million and range to over $2 million. The Balsam Mountain Preserve Habitat Review Board ensures that every home is designed and constructed according to strict guidelines to help protect future property values. From small, intimate cabins, to mountain contemporary, to mountain rustic, there are homes here that fit the lifestyle of every family.
A Good Start: Private Residence Club Owners purchase a deeded interest in ten distinctively designed cabins located on a majestic ridge at 3,700 feet in elevation. The Residence Club program offers owners the flexibility of reserving two guaranteed weeks each season (a total of eight weeks annually), coupled with the added benefit of unlimited additional time on a space available basis. Perhaps the best part of the Residence Club program is that owners enjoy the privilege of full Club membership while in residence, which includes access to the Arnold Palmer Signature golf course, the equestrian center, the nature center, and much more.

About the Area Located just five minutes from the Preserve's main gatehouse, Sylva is a charming town of about 2,500 residents. All the conveniences are here - grocery stores, banks, shopping, and medical care, including Harris Regional Hospital. Sylva's downtown is thriving, with unique restaurants and shops lining its tree-lined streets. Educational and cultural opportunities abound, with Western Carolina University located only 7 miles away in Cullowhee.
Located just ten minutes from the main gatehouse, the dynamic town of Waynesville is one of the true gems of western North Carolina. The heart of Waynesville is its wonderful downtown area complete with top-notch restaurants, shopping, and art galleries, but you'll also find a performing arts center, a community college, and a regional hospital here. Most any retail shopping need can be satisfied in Waynesville, from a brand new Super Wal Mart, to Best Buy and Lowes, and they're all easily accessible to Balsam Mountain Preserve residents. The Blue Ridge Parkway, a thriving arts community and Biltmore Estate top the list of Asheville's best-known delights. Downtown, with its funky charm and secrets to be discovered, awaits, as do day trips to surrounding towns and attractions. Dillsboro has been a tourist town since the late 19th century when the railroad first brought visitors to the "land of the sky" to escape the summer heat. More than a century later, Dillsboro has changed very little. It's a small country village with pristine white houses, rustic old shops, galleries, restaurants and quaint country inns. The home of its founder, Thomas Dills, still stands, as do many 19th-century shops.
