ARC Guidelines for Existing Homes

Laurel Ridge

is a beautiful community approximately 15 minutes outside of
Black Mountain and 30 minutes from downtown Asheville, NC.

Our peaceful, gated, spectacular mountain setting backs up to the Asheville watershed and is surrounded by acres of unspoiled forest. Our dedication to living in harmony with nature, natural beauty and a real sense of community are very important to all residents whether they own property here as a vacation home or year round residence. Over 45% of our 190 lots have been built on or have homes under construction. Laurel Ridge is a rare find as mountain communities go. All roads are paved and we have our own community water system. The Black Mountain Fire Department has a sub-station right in Laurel Ridge and there are fire hydrants throughout the neighborhood. The neighborhood has underground utilities at each lot including fiber optic cable. We appreciate you stopping by our official website. It contains answers to most questions you'll have. If you don't find what you're looking for, just ask! For tours of community lots and homes that are for sale, please contact a local realtor.

Please Note: Due to Helene, there is a temporary travel advisory for all Laurel Ridge roads. Most roads, bridges, and culverts are compromised throughout Laurel Ridge. Unnecessary travel on any road is not recommended. If it is imperative that when you drive in Laurel Ridge, you need to be alert for safety markers, one-way traffic, and heavy equipment. Laurel Ridge is still considered an evacuation site.

Short-term rentals are not allowed until Potable Water is returned to our systems and our roads stabilized.
