The Villages of Plott Creek

The Villages of Plott Creek lies off Plott Creek Road on the west side of Waynesville, a short drive from Main Street and the Hazelwood shops. It is a gated neighborhood built around acreage rather than density: homesites run from a little over an acre to more than eleven acres, and listings describe more than 200 acres placed in a conservation easement that will stay undeveloped. Roads are wide and paved, and utilities are underground. Some parcels sit at about 3,500 feet, with long-range mountain views from the higher ground.

Homes date from the late 1990s onward and most run 2,000 square feet and up. Styles mix log and timber construction with Cape Cod and Arts and Crafts designs, generally with open plans, vaulted ceilings and generous yards. The community shares an open-air pavilion and picnic area. Lots are served by well and septic, which matters for anyone planning a new build on one of the remaining parcels. The result is a neighborhood for buyers who want land and privacy while staying close to town.
