Chinquapin is a North Carolina community located in Cashiers, in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Chinquapin is a sister property to, and built by the same development company, as Trillium which we reviewed here before. Either property provides the perfect setting for a North Carolina retirement community lifestyle.
Amenities
The amenities at Chinquapin are in line with what you’d find at other active adult or 55-plus North Carolina communities. You’ve got mountain biking, horseback riding, fishing and of course golf.
One feature that is worthy of attention at Chinquapin is the golf course. It is not your typical 18 hole track. Designed by Morris Hatalsky, “Nature Walk” as it is called, is a 9 hole walking course. This is the only course of its kind at this altitude. In addition to this unique golf course there is a golf learning center on site.
Also, as a member of Chinquapin, you also get membership privileges at nearby Trillium which has a long list of amenities.
Homes and Home Prices
Though the Chinquapin property is more than 2,000 acres, there will only 200 home site available. The developers have gone to great lengths to leave the natural beauty of the area undisturbed. You’ll find home design of Appalachian architecture that blend in nicely with the surroundings.
Local Area
Though there is plenty to do in Chinquapin and Trillium, the charming town of Cashiers is just minutes away with shopping and restaurants. If you take the time to explore this area, you’ll easily see why many boomers are making it their destination for North Carolina retirement. [Visit website]
