Just 15 miles east from Asheville you’ll discover the Blue Ridge Mountain town of Black Mountain, known affectionately as the “front porch” of western North Carolina. It’s the kind of place where you can easily find lots of things to do, or absolutely nothing, if you prefer. With renowned mountain-view real estate and a variety of luxury mountain homes and homesites available, Black Mountain is a prime investment, second home and retirement property location.

With a population of about 8,000 year-round residents, Black Mountain offers a pace of life that is slower and a friendly atmosphere with families which have made their home here for generations. Main Street in Black Mountain extends for ten blocks and is overflowing with artist studios, galleries, specialty and antique stores and, of course, furniture shops- the town is well known as the new and antique furniture hub of the region. There are numerous delightful eateries featuring everything from traditional southern fare to exotic cuisine from around the world. Many of the town’s fine restaurants and cafes offer dining ‘al fresco’ in the fresh mountain air. A short walk from downtown, beautiful Lake Tomahawk features a walking path, recreational amenities and a golf course which boasts the longest par 6 in the country.

In recent years, the town has become a magnet for second home owners and retirees. Exceptional real estate opportunities include spectacular mountain view and lake communities, equestrian property and golf course developments in and around Black Mountain. Two such neighborhoods are Cheshire, with custom single family homes, elegant town homes and unique tree houses, and Catawba Falls Preserve, a residential community in harmony with the land and to preserve one of North Carolina’s most remarkable natural treasures.

Within an hour from town are numerous outstanding vistas such as the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Highland Craft Guild and breathtaking Mount Mitchell, the tallest mountain in the Eastern United States. All of the natural attractions of North Carolina’s high country are easily accessible from the town’s convenient location just minutes from I-40.

Voted the best small town in western North Carolina, Black Mountain is where the mountain spirit lives.
