Connestee Falls is a gated community designed specifically for those looking for the idyllic mountain home and community spirit. The popular master-planned community is perfect for full-time or part-time residents who share a love for the mountains and are content to enjoy a friendly, active community lifestyle.
Do you consider “home” to extend beyond four walls and into the surrounding community? Here are just a handful of reasons to love living in Connestee Falls.
Love the natural privacy
Find your peace in Connestee Falls! The community overlooks multiple lakes, nestled amongst the natural forests. And homes are perched atop the mountains with stunning long-range views. Much of the community’s 3,900 acres have been set aside as nature preservation areas. The heavily forested community also offers an extensive variety of natural habitats home to an array of flora and fauna.
At Connestee Falls, it’s easy for a quiet morning stroll to turn into a trail hike where you discover one of the community’s private waterfalls. Or for your morning coffee to turn into a close encounter with native deer, birds, and more.
Love the community amenities
Connestee Falls sits above the river valley overlooking Downtown Brevard. If you don’t feel like going into town, Connestee Falls offers plenty of entertainment of its own. With an active community base and more than 60 organized clubs, you’re never far from an outdoor or indoor activity.
The following lifestyle amenities are available to Connestee Falls members:
- Clubhouse with casual and fine dining among its 26,000 square feet of recreational facilities
- 18-hole semi-private championship golf course
- 12,000-square-foot Activity & Wellness Center with a full-time program coordinator

- Heated seasonal swimming pool with lap lanes
- 4 community lakes
- 2 recreational parks (plus multiple “pocket parks”) and a dog park
- 20 miles of hiking trails

Love the championship golf course
Of the amenities listed above, one stands out as deserving of further description: the Connestee Falls championship golf course. This 18-hole, semi-private, premier mountain course was designed by George Cobb at 3,200+ feet above sea level. The course provides exceptional play and a memorable experience that’s kind to beginners and challenging to the best players. Tee boxes offer play from 3,000–6,500 yards. And the course, which winds through the mountains with beautiful vistas along the way, also features a multi-functional practice green.
Not sure whether membership is right for you? “Test drive” the course and clubhouse with a round of golf and lunch. Also available are a pro shop, on-site golf pro, and golf club with its own set of incredible amenities.
Love being surrounded by pristine nature
Framed by the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, outdoor activities such as hiking, hunting, and fishing make Transylvania County the perfect place for its 33,000 residents to call “home.” The area is known as the “Land of Waterfalls” due to the 250 waterfalls located throughout the county. The Blue Ridge Parkway traverses parts of Transylvania County, affording spectacular views of the Appalachian Mountains, which reach an elevation topping 6,000 feet (1,800 m) in the county. Transylvania County is also home to more than 100,000 acres of protected land, primarily within DuPont State Forest, Pisgah National Forest, Gorges State Park, and Headwaters State Forest. DuPont State Forest alone is a 10,400-acre natural wonderland with waterfalls, creeks, lakes, and more than 80 miles of maintained trails.
Love the proximity to Brevard and beyond
Connestee Falls is located less than 15 minutes from Downtown Brevard, and only an hour from Downtown Asheville. There’s plenty to enjoy in the heart of Brevard, NC. The town is a vibrant and walkable hub of independent shops, boutiques, local art galleries, pubs, and eateries!
