WHO WE ARE

We are Asheville’s Premier Sustainable Eco-Community—a pocket neighborhood minutes from downtown, yet a haven nestled among the trees.

The Villages at Crest Mountain believes in the fundamental community ideals of balance and responsibility. We believe in social and ecological diversity and that built environments can be healthy, productive and stylish. We choose smart over big, health over indulgence, community over expediency, and inclusion over division. Our primary objective is to maximize the sustainability of the land, and to build environments that are green and energy efficient.

Rainwater Harvesting

Together with Brown Consultant engineers, we have designed a localized rain water retention strategy. We have done this by using the installed storm water system as the storage vessel for use in the community gardens. Using weirs and pumps, we will store rain water in key locations and pump it to the surface for irrigation. This rain water retention strategy will reuse the water resource that would typically flow off-site.
