Custom Home Builders in Walnut Cove, NC
Mastering the art of the mountain estate within Asheville’s premier gated sanctuary.
The Cliffs at Walnut Cove is widely regarded as the pinnacle of luxury gated living in the Carolinas. Nestled in a lush valley protected by the Blue Ridge Parkway and Pisgah National Forest, this community requires a builder who can balance the strict standards of a world-class enclave with the creative vision of a custom residence. At Herrington Homes, we are seasoned experts in the Walnut Cove landscape, having built a reputation for excellence right here in our own backyard.
Designing for the European Alpine Aesthetic
Inspired by the ageless villages of Europe, the architectural character of Walnut Cove is defined by Tudor-style clubhouses, natural stone, and soaring rooflines. However, modern trends are bringing a new wave of Mountain Modern and Transitional "Prairie" styles into the valley.
As an Unlimited Building Contractor, Nick Cioce understands the specific 20% stone requirements and pitch regulations of the Walnut Cove Architectural Review Board (ARB). We help you navigate these guidelines to create a home that feels both innovative and perfectly at home among the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course vistas.
Targeted Services for Walnut Cove Homeowners
From the meadow lots of Creekside Farm to the rugged ridgelines of Southridge, we offer a white-glove design-build experience:
