High Cove

High Cove A new village in the mountains of western North Carolina High Cove consists of approximately 110 acres of land, with an anticipated build-out of 50 households.

Home sites vary between the relatively compact village center and larger lots on the edges of the settlement. The developed area is compact, leaving a large percentage of the land preserved under a conservation and stewardship program. Our goal is to create a sustainable community in the mountains of North Carolina, a community that will foster rich and lasting human relationships, provide a place

for people of all ages and backgrounds to live, learn, and share experiences, while preserving the land, water, native plants and animals. It is intended to be a model human settlement, designed in harmony with the land and life that we find already in the region. High Cove is neither a suburban subdivision nor a littering of isolated vacation cabins in the woods. Contrary to the common patterns of development, our goal is to create a compact, sustainable community, encompassing places for permanent residents, seasonal residents, and occasional visitors, and connected to a preserve that is maintained according to the best practices of land stewardship.
