Hand Crafted Mill Entrance

Using reclaimed wood and native materials, developer Blake Twedt and his creative team constructed a mill to mark the entrance of this brand new community.

Nestled in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, The Overlook was two years in the making, and stayed true to the cultural heritage of the local area. The mill is the perfect capstone to thos efforts.

The mill features heart pine timber and antique cast iron lighting that came from a cotton mill that was built in 1880. Native ashlar stone was used in the construction, and all the hardware was authentically crafted by a blacksmith at the nearby internationally renowned John C. Campbell Folk School.
