Blue Mountain Escape - NC Coming Soon! ✦ Private ✦ Western NC Mountains ✦ Elev 4300' ✦ 35 min to Asheville

COMING FALL of 2026 - Blue Mountain Escape - NC is a brand new mountain chalet-style house, located in a private development of Glade Mountain above the small town of Canton in the NC Blue Ridge/Smoky  Mountains. Want to get away from the summer heat? Blue Mountain Escape is a perfect summer destination because at nearly 4300' elevation, temperatures typically are 10-13°F lower than in Asheville, and rarely exceed 83°F. If peace and quiet are what you've been craving, this is the perfect mountain getaway for you! Blue Mountain Escape is a 35-minute drive from Asheville's attractions, including the Biltmore Estate and the River Arts District. The nearest supermarket is in Canton, 22 minutes away, where you'll also find dining options. Outdoor activities in the area include hiking, whitewater rafting, kayaking, fly fishing, and skiing and snowboarding at Cataloochee Ski Area in winter (49 min).
For outdoor fun, play corn hole or ladder toss. Take a break in the hot tub, gather around the fire pit and roast marshmallows, or kick back on the swing with a good book under an old giant oak tree. After a cookout on the charcoal grill, the gravel neighborhood roads are perfect for an after-dinner stroll. If you want a more challenging hike, enjoy access to over ten miles of hiking and mountain biking trails of the Rough Creek watershed preserve right out your door.
