Life Inside a Luxury Gated Mountain Community
When buyers search for a luxury mountain community, they're looking for more than land and a view. They want a place where every day feels like a retreat. Grand Highlands delivers on that promise in ways that continue to surprise even longtime residents.
The centerpiece of the community is a stunning 12,000 sq ft lodge-style clubhouse that serves as the social and recreational heart of Grand Highlands. Residents enjoy:
Fitness center fully equipped for daily workouts
Tennis and pickleball courts with an active pickleball club
Expansive dog park — four-legged family members are very welcome here
Community garden where neighbors grow vegetables and flowers
Clubhouse library and event/meeting rooms
A vibrant social calendar featuring Pub Night, Trivia Night, Mahjong club, book club, a Golf Club that plays together on local courses, invited guest speakers, live music concerts, and holiday celebrations
And just outside your doorstep, the mountains call. Two trailheads sit right next to the community: the beloved Bearwallow Mountain Trail and the Trombatore Trail, which connects to the Wildcat Rock Trail and the broader Hickory Nut Gorge trail network. For something truly extraordinary, you can even enjoy private outdoor yoga experiences on the mountain with Asheville Wellness Tours.
Location: The Sweet Spot Between Asheville and Hendersonville
One of the most common questions I hear from buyers considering Grand Highlands is: "How far is it from everything?" The answer is: closer than you'd expect for a mountaintop getaway.
Hendersonville, NC — a vibrant small city with excellent dining, boutique shopping, the Flat Rock Playhouse, and the famous Hendersonville Apple Festival — is just 30 minutes away
Asheville, NC — one of the most celebrated small cities in America, with its thriving arts scene, world-class restaurants, and legendary music culture — is an easy 30 minute drive (25 minutes to Whole Foods!)
The Blue Ridge Parkway — one of the most scenic drives in the world — is right in your backyard
