Master Plan

A revised master plan, allowing certain types of modular homes and lowering the minimum square footage, as well as a change of name, as filed in June of 2021 with the Transylvania County Register of Deeds.

This revised master plan shows the community areas, the lot lines (each buyer of a lot is encouraged to get their lot surveyed in NC for legal description purposes in any event), and the road system.

This revised master plan is a modification of an original plan from around 2005 that was filed and approved but never aggressive marketed, though several lots were sold in amounts 100%-400% of the prices offered today.

Please see the History page about Overlook for more insight as to why it is so pristine, valuable and available today. It is a unique history and the you will find it on other pages.

Infrastructure

Haywood Electric (affiliated with Duke Energy) has buried electric lines throughout Overlook with easy connections from each lot. The local telephone provider also has buried lines, but at Overlook most people get 4 bars of cell service so there should be many satellite internet and TV options.

High speed internet was put in on the road that is next to Overlook in 2023 and 2024, but the properties are so high, satellite internet may work even better.

A community well was put in and there have been recent evaluations of it to confirm that it is working, and additional work is being performed to update it and make it accessible to each and every lot. Lot owners may still put in their own wells, especially if they want a pool.

The asphalt roads are in good shape, with excellent engineering and water diversion, and do not need immediate attention. As with any subdivision, there will need to be work on the amenities in the future, and the monthly assessments will likely be between $25-$75 per month.

Please see the recorded Declaration, as amended, as well as the Bylaws, also amended, as well as ridge top protections, before making offers.
