“We, the residents of Connestee Falls, believe that we have found an ideal place in w hich to live. As
caretakers of this w onderful community, we wish to keep our lakes clean, our air pure, and our
surroundings beautiful. We wish our forests to flourish and our wildlife to be protected. We value
not only the fine environment here, but also
the many recrea tional, social, and intellectual
opportunities available to us. Perhaps most of all, we cherish the friendships of our neighbors, the
cordial, cultured, talented people who make Co nnestee Falls the magical and w onderful place that
it is.”
To paraphrase Alan Jay Lerner, “In short there’s simply not a more congenial
spot for happily ever-aftering than here in ..” Connestee!

Welcome
Welcome to our community, the best kept secret in Western North Carolina. Though first developed
in 1971, Connestee Falls continues to flourish as one of Western North Carolina’s largest gated
communities. Nestled in the beauty of the Blue Ridge mountains, Connestee features over 1200
homes within 4000-acres of natural settings, preserved green space, and four well-stocked lakes.
Connestee Falls offers something for everyone. Whether that something is testing your game on our
150-acre George Cobb designed 18-hole Championship golf course or exploring one of our many
walking and hiking trails or simply getting to know the personal stories of your neighbors, Connestee
prides itself on being an active year-round community. With over 50 community, activity and
volunteer groups, Connestee residents are usually out-of-the-house and getting involved. If you cannot
find something to do in Connestee Falls, you might just be staying inside too much.
The Overlook Clubhouse is the activity center for most of the community. The Overlook houses the
Carolina Dining Room and our more casual Grill and Bar. Both are open to residents and guests. The
Cherokee Room and Blue Ridge Lounge are located on the top floor of the Overlook Clubhouse and
are frequently used for social, administrative and community activities. The Golf Shop and Wellness
Fitness Center are located on the first floor (downstairs) of the Clubhouse and are open 7-days a week.
We hope you enjoy your stay. For information about what is going on in the community, pick up a
copy of the weekly Friday Flyer at any gate, The Overlook Clubhouse, or the Administration building.
If you have questions, please contact the Admin Office at 828.885.2001.
