Sovereign Oaks is located in a quiet area only 7 miles outside of downtown Asheville, NC where a simpler way of life meets cutting edge technology. This inclusive community is designed around the nature that sustains us. With a focus on the benefits of backyard farming, residents are encouraged to have gardens for food production as well as raise chickens for fresh eggs and bees to support pollination. Progressive Design Guidelines promote green building techniques, low-impact construction and renewable energy production through creative and conscientious design. Neighboring the community is Warren Wilson College, a leader in innovation and creativity, with a shared focus on environmental responsibility. Residents will also enjoy a community trails system with direct access to the 25 miles of trails surrounding the Warren Wilson campus. Sovereign Oaks is also the first community in the area to offer a dedicated fiber optic line to each home. Downtown Asheville provides a diverse and eclectic mix of mountain views, rich culture, and a vibrant art and culinary scene just beyond your doorstep.

Beaucatcher Heights—large wooded urban homesites less than five minutes from downtown Asheville and Biltmore Village. One of Asheville’s most desirable communities, Kenilworth, located just east of downtown is full of intriguing roads, and an amazing diversity of home sizes and styles. The neighborhood boasts large stately trees, beautiful residential landscapes, and peaceful parks and gardens. It’s an older, established neighborhood with very little vacant land. Until now. Beaucatcher Heights is one of the only master planned communities close to downtown Asheville offering such a rare mix—incredible proximity to downtown and Biltmore Village, large homesites (many with incredible long-range mountain views), and a true “neighborhood” feel. In fact, the most frequent comment first-time visitors make is “wow, we had no idea something like this was so close to downtown!”
