Black Mountain homes and mountain properties in a private NC gated community near Asheville.

Triple Falls Sanctuary is Creston’s secret garden; a 350 acre preserve of forest, streams, and waterfalls that is literally the soul of this mountain community.  A gentle trail allows property owners’ access to the park by foot or vehicle.

The gateway to the Pisgah National Forest is Triple Falls Sanctuary. The upper and lower Catawba waterfalls are within hiking distance but not for the faint at heart and a solid attraction for the serious hiker. Arriving in the Sanctuary is magical.  A foot path leads from the parking area across a creek to Falls Camp. The sound of rushing water is immediately recognizable as you approach the primitive camp area.  A covered rustic structure named the Moonshine cabin lies at the edge of a river complete with a large stone fire pit and plenty of stacked firewood.  Three waterfalls surround the camp area with a viewing platform below Allison falls.  This powerful confluence of water creates the left fork of the Catawba River.  The area beckons for a good read or a picnic, and is conducive to spending time together immersed in nature.

Extra care has been taken to leave the area as natural and undisturbed as possible.  The area is rare and honored by the residents of Creston Mountain Community.
