Overview

People move to Western North Carolina for a variety of reasons, including cool summers, mild winters, unrivaled natural beauty, lower cost of living, and less crowding. So it is with the residents of Connestee Falls.

But once they arrive they often find Connestee Falls itself to be the best possible reason for living here. The friendly, helpful, cooperative residents form an unusual, perhaps unique, community spirit that makes Connestee such a wonderful place to live.

Connestee Falls is located a short six miles from Brevard, N.C. one of the friendliest cities in the U.S. Here, Connestee residents join their Brevard neighbors in the enjoyment of music by the students, faculty and guest artists at the nationally acclaimed Brevard Music Center. Nearby, Brevard College and Blue Ridge Community College offer a full range of continuing education programs on a year round basis. Choose from a curriculum of Appalachian arts and culture, music, language, physical fitness, wildflowers and an annual lecture series - or enjoy the performances of the Brevard College Orchestra or the Brevard College Jazz Band - both outstanding groups.

All common property in Connestee Falls, including the lakes, clubhouse, golf course, tennis courts, swimming pool, hiking trails and road system, are owned by the Property Owners Association. All other property is privately owned. There is no developer associated with the property. There are almost 1300 homes completed or under construction in the community. About half of the residents are year round. Most of the rest have second homes and spend their summers in N.C. and their winters in Florida or elsewhere. A few spend the mild winter here and the summer in Northern locations. Area builders of fine custom homes continue a variety of new construction in the community.
