The Boulders at Chimney Rock

Silver City Road
Chimney Rock,, NC 28720
866-710-ROCK

Twenty-five miles southeast of Asheville, the 315-foot granite spire known as Chimney Rock has come to symbolize the rugged beauty of western North Carolina’s spectacular Blue Ridge Mountains. This emblematic natural monolith and the picturesque valley it overlooks will become an abiding presence in the daily lives of homeowners at The Boulders, a meticulously planned and environmentally sensitive community taking shape at a 54-acre site within walking distance of Chimney Rock Village. Each of the 32 premium home sites offers extraordinary views of Chimney Rock and the nearby waterfall that cascades more than 400 feet into Hickory Nut Gorge. Thoughtful architectural and landscaping guidelines will preserve the precious view corridors for each lot, and assure that all homes will blend harmoniously into the woodland setting. With Lake Lure, Asheville and Hendersonville as neighbors, residents will have easy access to an extraordinary range of natural and cultural attractions, from wilderness trails and fishing holes to fine restaurants and championship golf courses. The timeless beauty of the landscape combined with exquisitely understated mountain architecture will make each and every home at The Boulders a priceless legacy for generations to come.

AMENITIES

Golf Numerous golf courses are within easy driving distance, ranging from low-key municipal courses to challenging championship links. Among the most noteworthy golfing destinations in the area is the magnificent 18-hole course at the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, laid out in 1924 by legendary Scottish designer Donald Ross.

Water/ Marina/ Boating Just down the road from The Boulders is Lake Lure, a 720-acre body of water created in the 1920s when a hydroelectric dam was built on the Rocky Broad River. Today this scenic mountain lake is an ideal venue for pleasure boating, canoeing and water skiing.

Fishing Lake Lure is stocked with a variety of fish species, including trout, large and small mouth bass, crappie, catfish, bluegill and sun-perch. There’s also good fly-fishing in the region’s pristine mountain rivers and streams.

Lots The Boulders is made up of two distinct neighborhoods, with a range of home sites to accommodate a diversity of family sizes and lifestyles. Eleven lots measuring less than one acre each are arranged along a clearing at 1,700 feet above sea level. Twenty-one additional lots ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 acres are set on a rocky ridge above. Prices range from $185,000 to $350,000.

Clubhouse A simple pavilion at the center of The Boulders will serve as the nexus for community life, along with a rustic natural-wood gazebo dubbed “The Library” and a communal fire pit overlooking Hickory Nut Gorge.
