Keswick Hill's Green Development, Green Building, & Green Living


KESWICK HILLS: http://www.keswickhills.com/

GREEN LIVING: http://www.keswickhills.com/greenliving.html

At Keswick Hills, we see ourselves as stewards of a unique natural setting seeking to preserve and enhance a choice creation of mother nature. We have devoted ourselves over the past decade to carefully planning and gradually developing a sustainable community like no other in South Asheville, North Carolina. We do our best to reduce our carbon footprints.


GREEN DEVELOPMENT: http://www.keswickhills.com/greendevelopment.html
Simply said Green Development involves working with the land and not against it. We solve problems using thought and patience to obtain the desired result. Intelligently using what is at hand to enhance the natural beauty of the property.We follow a course that results in minimal waste sawmilling and drying cut timber on site and marketing firewood and pulp wood from what remains. What is left is shredded and used for mulch. Most development is done as quickly as possible for economic reasons and the impact on the environment is often harsh. Marketable timber is hauled to sawmills and oil or natural gas kilns are used for drying. In short we strive for a small carbon footprint, while conventional development has a much larger carbon footprint.We have a policy of what originates here stays and is used here. We don’t bury boulders that we dig up, and can’t use immediately, and then bring in boulders later when we need them to landscape a house. Fill that is excavated is used on site. In most developments excess fill is hauled away, and when fill is needed it is hauled in, expensive and energy intensive coming and going.

GREEN BUILDING: http://www.keswickhills.com/greenbuild.html

Value in homes involves many factors beginning with location in a given area, the quality of the community and the quality of the surrounding homes. Homes that use more energy than necessary hurt both the pocket book and the environment. Many builders talk green but the product often falls short of the mark. A green home may be of any design, but requires a commitment by the builder that few are willing to make. Again it will take longer and cost more, but it is an investment that will pay substantial dividends for the life of the home. We design the structure to be as energy efficient as possible.

Keswick Homes, LLC’s Green Building: Keswick Homes, LLC is focused on designing and building high quality custom luxury homes utilizing green technology, while preserving grace, function and elegance.

Green Friendly: We are dedicated to creating homes of superior design and quality, incorporating the latest Green Friendly home technology, such as geothermal heating and cooling, ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilation System) structured wiring, passive and active solar, low maintenance exteriors, etc. John Chewning, the owner/builder of Keswick Homes, LLC, draws on over 20 years of experience as a Natural Resource Engineer to ensure that your energy costs are held to a minimum. Additionally, we recycle timber harvested on the property during your homesite clearance. Much of the trim, hardwood floors, stair treads handrails and beaded ceiling board incorporated in our homes is custom milled from this timber. We have shops and storage facilities adjacent to the subdivision and utilize and recycle all left over material. All new homes have an "Energy Star" high efficiency rating and will in fact far exceed the energy star rating criteria!

Quality: Keswick Homes, LLC uses the highest quality materials and fixtures along with elegant touches such as wainscoting, built-in cabinets, hardwood floors. We conduct market research in order to keep abreast of industry trends, designs and the latest technology.

Customization: We understand that we are building your dream, so we work closely with our clients in order to fully understand your specific needs in your floorplan design. Keswick Homes, LLC knows how to make your living space ideally suited for you.
Focus: Since Keswick Homes, LLC builds exclusively for south Asheville's Keswick Hills subdivision, we are devoting our time to supervising every step and detail of the creation of your home, rather than commuting to various job sites scattered throughout the county. Most importantly, we provide up to four times the onsite inspection and quality control of the average builder.

Value: No other builder can build you a finer home or deliver more value than Keswick Homes, LLC. We have nearby storage and workshops and can efficiently manage building materials and custom fabrication, resulting in higher quality homes at a lower cost to you.
