As the Catawba River begins its 200 mile eastward flow from the North Carolina Mountains, it takes a unique 180 degree turn creating an oasis of treasured land in Burke County onto which the Catawba River Club has created breathtaking homesites.

The Catawba River Club is a private, 180 acre, 35 home site community carefully designed around this bend of the Catawba's cool, clear water. These headwaters have recently been afforded protected status with the goal of Trophy Trout water designation. While the Catawba is the undeniable cornerstone of the Catawba River Club, the property also directly faces the monuments of the Blue Ridge Mountains: Grandfather, Table Rock and Hawksbill Mountains. Some home sites over look the river, some provide awesome views of the mountains and some include both.
Catawba River Club developers and cousins Robert and Sterling Collett have thoughtfully developed special properties for more than a decade in Avery County, including Grandmother Mountain, The Farm at Banner Elk, and Big Rough Knob while conserving over 50 percent of the acreage through dispersal to conservation entities. As Burke County has been their family's home for three Generations, the Catawba River Club will be their flagship.
“They went beyond the community requirement...This is the way development in Burke County ought to be.”
