Experience nature as you’ve never seen it before: atop the crest of Oriel, your window on the Carolinas.

Oriel, a small exclusive enclave consisting of sixteen home sites, offers you serenity and peace. Breathtaking mountain views greet you each morning, and the soothing music of nature makes hectic city life a distant memory.  Birds soar beneath you and the gentle wind in the trees provides the perfect accompaniment to relaxation. Your next-door neighbor is the magnificent Nantahala National Forest, with its diversity of rare plants and unique wildlife habitats.

The setting is pastoral yet just minutes from fine dining, shopping and cultural offerings.  The opportunities for sporting and outdoor activities are limited only by your interests, with golf, horseback riding, fishing and hiking nearby. The epitome of elegant mountain living is here!
