NC Mountain View South from Creston

Environmentally Sensitive NC Mountain Community

Our North Carolina mountains are very special, and they challenge us to build beautifully and responsibly within them. Accepting that responsibility, Creston is governed by thoughtful and thorough protective covenants and design guidelines to preserve mountain views, natural splendor, and visual harmony. Creston's environmentally sensitive home design guidelines are of the same caliber found in the Creston developers' other properties, creating a unified yet individually expressive community and offering protection for your unique North Carolina mountain homesite investment.

Creston Design Guidelines have been created to maintain a sense of visual harmony between all homes, whether large or small, and the natural environment. This principle defines the Creston style and ensures architectural integrity while allowing a range of personal expression and home sizes, from modest cottages to sizable retreats.

Creston Design Guidelines encourage cottage and cabin styles while requiring high quality design and materials, ensuring that style and quality will endure long after the first generation of homeowners come and go. Like those integrated into the neighborhoods of North Carolina mountain towns, Creston mountain homes are inspired by the Craftsman, Bungalow, Post and Beam, and New England Shingle styles. Log homes are also part of the heritage of North Carolina mountain living and enrich the diversity of architectural expression within the community.

Creston Design Guidelines ensure homes will retain the integrity and harmony of the natural and cultural heritage of the mountains.
