Are you dreaming of building a mountain home—a custom sanctuary exactly where you want to be? Now is a fantastic time to consider buying land in Western North Carolina. With continued lower interest rates making financing more accessible, the opportunity to realize your custom vision has never been better.

The WNC region is full of diverse opportunity, and I'm Preston Mayfield, your dedicated local expert ready to guide you.


Find the Perfect Lifestyle, from Adventure to Chilling

For me, real estate is deeply personal. It's why it is so important that I truly understand the lifestyle you seek. Whether you're looking for a quiet retreat or an adventurer's basecamp, I'll find the perfect match.

While I have lived in these mountains off and on for 25 years and my own passions lead me to the trails—as an avid mountain biker and whitewater kayaker—I’m equally happy to help those who just want to chill and enjoy a great view. If your perfect mountain day involves a rocking chair, a good book, and a panoramic vista, I'll find you the peaceful, low-maintenance property that delivers.

For the active buyer, my insider knowledge is your biggest advantage. I can point you toward properties near the best hiking and biking trails, pristine rivers for fly fishing and kayaking, and our incredible chain of lakes. Ask me about the shores of beautiful Fontana Lake or the scenic spots near Asheville, Black Mountain, Brevard, Waynesville, Weaverville, Lake Toxaway, Cashiers, Highlands, Bryson City, Franklin, and Sylva.

Navigating the Build: Costs and Connections

Building in the mountains is an exciting process, but it requires expertise. The current cost to build in the North Carolina mountains generally ranges from $180 to over $450+ per square foot (excluding land), depending heavily on site preparation, finishes, and the complexity of the design.

Fortunately, I am your comprehensive resource. I can guide you through the entire process of finding and securing land, and provide crucial assistance with the technical challenges of mountain property like well and septic systems. More importantly, I'm well connected with builders and other local vendors throughout the region, ensuring you have the right team to turn your vision into reality.

Don't navigate the complexities of mountain land acquisition alone. If you're searching for the best real estate agent to help you buy land in the North Carolina mountains, choose a partner with my local roots and a genuine passion for the WNC lifestyle.
