Montreat

Montreat is a secluded mountain community of approximately 700 residents nestled into the Blue Ridge Mountains just outside of picturesque Black Mountain. Montreat is part conference center and part college. Montreat Conference center was founded in conjunction with the Presbyterian Church and has been in operation since 1905! Montreat College was founded in 1916 and is a liberal arts college offering activities such as symphonies and arts festivals.

Montreat also has tons to offer for the outdoor enthusiast with miles and miles of hiking trails and walking paths galore! A large portion of Montreat is protected conservation land. There is a huge playground with a creek for the kiddos, furry friends, and those young at heart to enjoy. While new construction in Montreat is rare due to limited land inventory, there are often resales that come on the market. Montreat is also a summer camp destination so the population doubles during the summer months. Come and enjoy a slower pace of life and enjoy the history and charm that Montreat has to offer.
