Allyn and Cathy Stanton of St. Louis began searching for a mountain retreat years ago. Traveling throughout western North Carolina, touring properties and hearing numerous sales pitches, time and again, they found many of the properties didn’t live up to the advertising.

After four weeks on the road in 2007, they discovered The Headwaters at Banner Elk, N.C.  Although they had decided on another community during their trip, they fell in love with The Headwaters and quickly canceled their commitment to the other developer. They had been looking for a place that was upscale yet relaxed, secluded but convenient to daily services and fine dining. They found it upon touring the property with developer John Haynes.

“Allyn and Cathy travel a lot for business, but can work from anywhere,” says Haynes. “Our certified fiber optic status was a big selling point because they can stay connected with their sales associates, yet enjoy pristine long range views from their spacious villa.” They were looking for a maintenance-free lifestyle, yet the qualities of a single-family custom home. They now enjoy their two bedroom condominium villa so much that they schedule their travel plans so they can spend as much time as possible at the property. Click here to learn more!

Great Outdoors: Says Haynes, “Our 880 acres and adjoining Pisgah National Forest lands offers something for every outdoorsman, but if you want more, you’ll find it within a few minutes of our gate.”

That Secure Feeling: The Gate House is staffed seven days a week, ensuring the privacy of each resident.
