A Bit About The Developer

Fontana Lake Estates developers, both past and present, had one main goal in mind in creating this mountain community -- to preserve the land's natural beauty and undisturbed wilderness while providing the ultimate in an exclusive gated community.

Fontana Lake Developers, organized and guided by Barry Mears, is a team of highly qualified individuals committed to creating a place where the wonders of nature combine with everyday life.  Barry Mears has over 35 years of experience as a developer and general contractor.  All members of the team bring their own unique experience to the company, and their expertise has enabled the company to grow successfully since its inception.

Fontana Lake Estates has become the premier gated mountain community in all of western North Carolina.  The developers have thoughtfully provided upgraded amenities and features in Fontana Lake Estates that typically are not found in a mountain  community.

As you will notice when you first enter Fontana Lake Estates, the main road is wide, paved, and well maintained.   The shoulders of the road are manicured. Judicious timber cutting is enforced by covenants to protect the wilderness setting.  All utilities in Fontana Lake Developers' properties are underground. 

Careful planning of the location of each tract of land ensures that as much of the natural landscape as possible is preserved and enhanced.  The result is estate-sized lots with breathtaking mountain views so spectacular that you won't want to look away for a moment.
