A legend. A real one. Is gone. 🤍

Dolly Parton was one of those people who felt so much bigger than music.

The mountains shaped her. They were in her songs, in the way she told stories, in the way she loved and shared her story.

She made the rest of us love it too.

“In my Tennessee mountain home…”

From our mountain home to yours, thank you, Dolly. ⛰️🤍

Game on is only the beginning. 🏓

At The Headwaters at Banner Elk, the day is yours to shape.

Trails from your back door lead past a year round waterfall, with more than 55,000 acres of national park and game land surrounding the community. Two lakes invite kayaking and quiet paddles. A tennis and pickleball court sits high enough to catch the mountain breeze, while the dog park gives four legged residents room to run free. 🐾

The clubhouse pulls it all together with a chef’s kitchen, stone hearth, fitness room, theater, game room and outdoor deck with grills.

Mountain living, elevated.
