Anyone who has spent any amount of time in the High Country of North Carolina can attest to the unique beauty and culture of this region. From the charming downtowns of Boone and Blowing Rock to the natural beauty that abounds along the Blue Ridge Parkway, this region offers a rich culture that is refreshingly distinct from other areas of our state.
As more and more people flocked to the mountains for primary homes, secondary homes, or simply for vacations, one place stands out from the rest: Blue Ridge Mountain Club (BRMC). This private mountain community is located just minutes from Boone and Blowing Rock. BRMC is situated on over 6,200 acres with sweeping views and a national park-like setting.
About The Owners: Nick Presnell and Ean Faison
Nick Presnell and Ean Faison have spent years immersed in this singular region. They first crossed paths during their time working on the sales and marketing team at BRMC. Presnell grew up in the High Country. After half a decade in Charlotte, he returned home to the mountains and his roots. He hasn’t look back since. Faison was exposed to the region when he took short, regular trips as a child. He jumped at the first opportunity to live in the High Country, and attended Appalachian State University.
Presnell and Faison discovered not only their mutual love affair with the High Country, but also a passion for helping others uncover and access all this region has to offer. While working together at Blue Ridge Mountain Club, the two facilitated tremendous growth and a deep knowledge of the community.
“When we joined the development team, there were roughly 12 completed homes and the only amenity was Watson Gap Park and Pavilion,” says Presnell of Storied Real Estate in Blowing Rock NC. “Today, there are over 415 owners in the community with roughly 200 completed homes and another 60 under construction at any given time.”
The BRMC you will encounter now offers world-class amenities. This includes a stellar on-site restaurant, Lookout Grill, state of the art fitness center, Ascent Wellness and Fitness, plus access to Chetola Sporting Reserve. There are over 50 miles of hiking and UTV trails, regular outdoor concerts and events, and more.
