Hickory Nut Forest - An Eco-Community
 
Hickory Nut Forest Community thrives in Western North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, in magnificent Hickory Nut Gorge. Out your back door you can walk for miles enjoying forever-wild mountain forests, wildflowers, soaring cliffs, pristine cascading streams and waterfalls and the serenity of nature.
 
We are the first development in the country to combine wide-ranging land conservation with an eco-friendly community of green homes, which are solar-heated and solar-powered. Using renewable energy from wind power, hydropower and geothermal sources, we are a true net-zero-energy community, creating more renewable energy than we use.

Come find out what it’s like to live in this beautiful, peaceful, healthy, sacred place in the magnificent North Carolina mountains near Asheville. Learn how we are designing our eco-community, building green homes, protecting the environment and helping to create a sustainable world.
