"What We’ve Done Is Build A Year-Round Community That Brings Together Three To Five Generations To Live And Share In A Positive, Healthy And Vibrant Environment"

- John Turchin was the visionary behind The Lodges At Eagles Nest in Banner Elk, North Carolina and its original Developer. John is no longer involved in the management or operation of Eagles Nest, but is actively pursuing other, similiar projects in other locations.

A luxury year-round residential community, The Lodges at Eagles Nest is the creation of renowned developer John Turchin, his family, and a hand-selected team of experienced professionals.

The Lodges at Eagles Nest featured a wildlife preserve, waterfalls, trout-filled streams, and miles of pristine mountain trails perfect for hiking, riding, and biking. Amenities range from a spectacular Toy Barn filled with every imaginable game and sporting equipment to an authentic Tee Pee Village and Wellness Spa and an outdoor amphitheater built into the side of the mountain.

Beyond its distinct quality of life, The Lodges at Eagles Nest offers the discernible homeowner extraordinary value on investment, with home sites ranging from 1 to 10 acres, all especially chosen for their panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and the privacy each one affords.

Custom-built homes designed by some of the country’s best architects, each showcasing one-of-a-kind rustic mountain elegance, display John and his wife Susan’s creative flair and ingenuity. Each features a unique floor plan, exposed stone and fine woodwork, thoughtful detailing and extraordinary interior designs.
