Blue Ridge Mountain Club

What Blue Ridge Mountain Club does

Blue Ridge Mountain Club (BRMC) is a private 6,000+ acre residential mountain community set in the North Carolina High Country between Blowing Rock and Boone. The company develops, markets, and sells luxury mountain real estate—condominiums starting around $404,000, single-family homes from approximately $1.7 million to over $3.6 million, and homesites ranging from $129,000 to over $1.9 million—bundled with membership-style access to a comprehensive amenity ecosystem. That ecosystem includes Ascent Wellness & Fitness (with spa and recovery), four dining venues (Lookout Grill, Jasper House, Trailside Eats, Watson Gap Pavilion), recreation facilities (The Meadows Pool & Pavilion, Watson Gap Park), outdoor pursuits (nearly 50 miles of trails, the 67-acre Chetola Sporting Reserve, The Blue Hole, UTV/ATV access), and a curated calendar of signature community traditions. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time real estate sales (homes and homesites) and supplemented by transaction-fee economics from third-party vacation rental partnerships (Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals, Carolina Cabin Rentals) and on-site hospitality operations. The company operates a sales-led, relationship-driven go-to-market through a dedicated two-person in-house real estate team (Nick Presnell, Dir. of Real Estate & Marketing, and Ean Faison, Real Estate Broker) who guide affluent individual and family buyers through a personalized matching process supported by lifestyle-focused content marketing across Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, the BRMC Journal blog, and email newsletters.
