about echota
A Peaceful Experience Designed to Take Your Breath Away.
A deep high-country spirit lives in the neighborhoods of Echota — a name derived from the Cherokee expression for “peaceful haven.” Situated so close to Boone, Blowing Rock, and Banner Elk, you may never know Echota exists from the outside, as it is so artfully and perfectly nestled within it’s natural setting. Sharing 60-mile, long-range views from lofty perches, and an appreciation for the beautifully crafted amenities and natural wonders just outside their doors, residents revel in the rough-hewn luxury of authentic experiences and down-to-earth sensibilities.

The Four Phases of Echota
Families thrive in the shared experiences at two clubhouses, outdoor and indoor pools, the great backyard for croquet and bocce, along with unexpected pleasures of a 25-acre river park, fishing ponds, miles of hiking trials.
Echota on the Ridge, an elevated sister community of Echota, features larger floorplans and the first outdoor pool, providing expansive views. The community’s rustic timber beam Clubhouse stands as its charming centerpiece.
Chalakee, launched in 2010 within the Echota community, elevates luxury with its timber-frame accents by Harmony Timberworks and premium finishes. Each unit features a built-in grill on the deck and 9ft ceilings, blending modern amenities with rustic charm for a sophisticated mountain living experience.
The Summit at Echota, launched in October 2019 and completed in May 2021, provides an exclusive living experience with six unique floorplans that include outdoor fireplaces and built-in grills. This phase emphasizes community and exclusivity with a six-month minimum rental requirement and features an Owners-only Amenity Center complete with a resort-style pool, two spas, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and various community spaces.
