About Creston:
CONCEPT OF CRESTON
Today people equipped with computers, faxes, cell phones and services like UPS and Fed Ex can make the choice to live in rural havens in comfort. Creston with its beautiful mountain setting and long range views, offers a quiet sense of being. Yet nearby, the towns are abuzz with energy and vitality. A major consideration in mountaintop living is easy access on and off the mountain. At Creston all home sites are only a few minutes from the entrance.
Creston represents a return to the basics of mountain land ownership. It's a place for people who like their privacy but want the opportunity to get to know their neighbors, perhaps while walking on one of the foot trails meandering through the Creston Reserve or at one of the community greens and overlooks. The concept is to keep it simple, quiet, and serene so the natural beauty of the land takes precedence. 50% of 1100 acres is designated as Creston Reserve/Common Property which will remain undeveloped for all residents to enjoy as part of Creston living.

CONTEMPLATING THE VIEWS
Looking out from Creston at the soft, gentle mountains of the Blue Ridge evokes a sense of calm and connection. Whether you are gazing out the window with coffee in hand watching the sun come up over the Hickory Nut Mountains or sharing a glass of wine on your porch watching the sun slip behind the mountains over toward Rocky Knob, you will know that you have selected just the right spot, uniquely yours.
Throughout Creston there are dramatic mountain vistas---and not just from the home sites. Experience the wonder of nature from the overlooks and roadways all around the mountain. Looking north to the Black Mountain Range, with Mt. Mitchell and the Blue Ridge Parkway, is a special view to behold. The view to the east is of the rural community of Crooked Creek Valley, consisting of small farms and fields. Such scenery will take you back to an earlier, simpler time.
COMPLEMENTING THE ENVIRONMENT
Our North Carolina mountains are very special and they challenge us to build beautifully and responsibly within them. Accepting that responsibility, Creston is governed by thoughtful and thorough protective covenants and design guidelines. These home design guidelines are of the same caliber found in the Creston developers' other properties, creating a unified yet individually expressive community, as well as offering protection for your investment.
Design Guidelines have been created to maintain a sense of visual harmony between all homes, whether large or small, and the natural environment. They define the Creston style and ensure architectural integrity while allowing a range of personal expression and homes sizes from cottages to sizable retreats. Cottage does not necessarily reflect size, but a certain mountain style and quality. Integrated into the neighborhoods of North Carolina mountain towns are "cottages" of the Craftsman, Bungalow, Post and Beam, and New England Shingle style. Log homes certainly are a part of this mountain heritage and enrich the diversity.
The Creston Design Guidelines encourage cottage and cabin "styles" while requiring high quality design and materials, ensuring style and quality that will endure long after the first generation of homeowners come and go.
CONSERVATION EASEMENT
In 2004 and 2005 Creston Development LLC placed a conservation easement with the Foothills Conservancy of North Carolina. This conservation land within Creston remains in its natural state and consists of a hardwood forest, tributaries, native plants and abundant wildlife. The easement encompasses a portion of the Left Prong of the Catawba River and the surrounding mountain cove and uplands. A significant portion of Creston's trail system is contained within this easement. The easement extends to Allison Ridge where it shares a common boundary with Pisgah National Forest.
Foothills Conservancy, our regional land trust, is responsible for monitoring the conservation easements in perpetuity. They are on the web at foothillsconservancy.org.
The protection offered by conservation easements is invaluable to our mountain habitat, the people that will enjoy it for generations to come and the world at large.
