Community Description

Grand Highlands lives up to its name - this award-winning private gated community is situated on a mountaintop meadow at an altitude of 3,200 to 3,800. Surrounded by sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and untouched forest land, this community has the peaceful feel of a remote mountain enclave with the accessibility of a small city. Boasting just 145 home sites covering its 344 acres, the unique combination of low density and gentle, sloping topography makes this an ideal location to build a home. 

Location

It's pastoral setting atop the Bearwallow Mountain is one of many features that influenced the Asheville Home Builders Association’s to name Grand Highlands the “Community of the Year”. While the location may seem remote, Grand Highlands is in fact quite centrally located at the center point between three major population centers in Western North Carolina - Asheville, Hendersonville, and Lake Lure. Each offering its own unique set of attractions and conveniences, Grand Highland’s proximity to these cities gives it an ideal balance of privacy and accessibility. High-quality medical care is located in both Hendersonville (25 minutes away) and Asheville (35 minutes away). The Asheville Regional Airport is just a 25-minute drive from Grand Highlands as well. Nearby Lake Lure (15 minutes away) boasts a gorgeous mountain lake encircled by the towering cliffs of Chimney Rock and Rumbling Bald Mountain. Boating, water skiing, and water recreation of all kinds are also available on Lake Lure, and eclectic shopping, dining, and imbibing are just around the corner in Chimney Rock Village.
