Chinquapin is a new 2,000-acre private community near the Nantahala National Forest and surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina. There will be just 200 homes built on this property. An area of great natural beauty in a temperate climate, Chinquapin (pronounced "chink-a-pin") offers a wide array of outdoor activities including hiking, biking, and horseback riding. You can even "getaway from your getaway" at wilderness cabins on the property. More than 700 acres will forever remain as conservation lands. The more refined pleasures of golf, tennis, and clubhouse dining are yours too at the Trillium Links & Lake Club, which has shared amenities with Chinquapin. Towns nearby are known for their array of boutiques and specialty shops.

Home Settings
With only 200 home settings on 2,000 acres—and an average home setting is 4.5 acres—you get the blissful privacy of owning your own haven in the mountains while being a comfortable, breathing-room distance from your nearest neighbors.

Architecture
Just as you are drawn to Chinquapin because of the natural beauty, the rustic settings and unique styles of the homes here will echo that same feeling. Architecturally, we strive for designs that blend natural native elements into designs that work seamlessly with their surroundings.

But your home should be as unique as you are. And there's a wide array of features and touches within the rustic mountain style that can help you achieve this.

To make the process simple, we provide homeowners with a builder and architect guild—a selection of professionals dedicated to upholding the standard set by Chinquapin. You can rest assured that our guild will provide you with a quality product and make the process as simple and seamless as possible.

You'll see homes here that deploy natural, native materials. Architectural influences from early American homesteads and Appalachian architecture, as expressed in early 20th Century southern lodges of National Parks and other indigenous mountain styles provide the basis for design at Chinquapin. We encourage homes and landscapes built in harmony with their natural environment.
