Homes in Banner Elk: Elk River Club Beauty
The Avery County Chamber of Commerce aptly describes our sought-after region as one where “beauty, fun and adventure abound for the entire family.” Residents look forward to the blessings each new season holds—each just as magnificent as the last. At the time of this post, visitors are arriving from near and far to behold the splendor of fall in the Blue Ridge Mountains and check out one of our fall festivals. Elk River Club’s long history of excellence, impressive amenities, luxury real estate options and idyllic setting earn it top rankings for those considering purchasing a mountain residence or second home in the area. Our story began in 1982, when Brothers Harry and Spencer Robbins launched our comprehensive community. Jack Nicklaus’ first Signature Course in the state of North Carolina was a huge selling point on opening day, and it continues to attract avid golf players from across the country and around the world. In today’s post, we’re spotlighting our close-knit community and why residents choose an Elk River home.
