About this home

Experience the opportunity to build a fully customized luxury mountain retreat on one of the premier homesites in the exquisite gated community of Creston. This turnkey package at 1915 Creston Drive includes the homesite, site preparation, driveway, and construction of a beautifully designed Modern Mountain Craftsman residence. The proposed home offers approximately 3,015 heated square feet with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, an attached two-car garage, and expansive covered outdoor living spaces thoughtfully designed to capture breathtaking long-range mountain views. Carefully positioned on the homesite to maximize privacy and scenery, the floor plan combines warm mountain architecture with modern luxury. Inside, the home features vaulted ceilings, large windows, an open-concept great room anchored by a stone fireplace, a designer kitchen with premium finishes, spacious recreation and gathering areas, a private guest suite, and multiple covered decks that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living. Every space has been designed to embrace the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains while offering the comfort and quality expected in a luxury custom home. The build package includes allowances for interior finishes, allowing buyers to personalize cabinetry, flooring, countertops, lighting, plumbing fixtures, and other design selections to reflect their own style. Buyers will work directly with the builder before entering into a construction contract to review the complete scope of work, detailed specifications, allowances, finish options, and pricing. This collaborative process provides transparency throughout construction while offering the flexibility to customize the home to meet individual preferences. The homesite has already been carefully evaluated and positioned for optimal home placement, view orientation, and site functionality, reducing uncertainty and streamlining the building process. Estimated construction time is approximately 12 months from groundbreaking. This is a rare opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind luxury mountain retreat in one of Western North Carolina's most desirable gated communities—all within a thoughtfully planned turnkey package.
