Mosaic Realty is thrilled to announce the opening of Phase 2 at Craggy Park, West Asheville’s premier green home community, featuring streamside trails in a park-like setting. Walkable to Haywood Road’s popular shops and dining, Craggy Park is a sustainable urban community with modern green homes built by JAG Construction. To mark the opening of Phase 2, Mosaic will host a kick-off event Nov. 5 and 6 from 1 to 5 p.m., where visitors can tour homes, learn about the community, and explore sales options.
Designed by W2 Architects, Craggy Park homes embrace a smart and sustainable design philosophy, maximizing livable space without a huge footprint. JAG brings its talents in green building to the project, exemplifying the harmonious blend of green building technology and clean, modern design.
Utilizing a clustered design philosophy for the homes, the team of developers was able to create a low-impact development that preserves as much green space as possible. The resulting neighborhood landscape features a park-like setting for residents, with a tucked-away feel but close proximity to West Asheville’s bustling commercial corridors. The many neighborhood amenities available include a little free library, mulched walking trails, tree house, bridge and lawn by the stream, fire pit for gathering, and organic community garden.
