Surrounded by thousands of acres of Western North Carolina national forest, yet located just 35 minutes from Asheville, N.C.,The Preserve at Little Pine offers a peaceful atmosphere where residents can become carefree and revel in their natural surroundings.

With almost 80% of the land surrounding The Preserve at Little Pine protected through conservation efforts, you'll feel as though you live in your own national park.  This unique private mountain community is a place to live and play and enjoy an entire way of life.  Gather with neighbors for barbecues, bluegrass jams in the outdoor amphitheatre and fly-fishing excursions with a local outfitter.  Invite friends to sleep under the stars at one of the camping sites nestled throughout the community.

Explore the old-growth forest and high mountain meadows on guided nature hikes, saddle up a horse from the Equestrian Center and traverse the property or pack a lunch for a quiet picnic.

Take the kids or grandkids on a hayride or join a fun-filled educational hike led by area biologists.  Journey down from your mountain homesite to Ward Pavilion and cast a line in the stocked trout pond or enjoy the warmth of the fire pit on a chilly summer evening.
