Sustainable Homes Rooted in the Mountains

Western North Carolina is a region defined by beauty, resilience, and a deep connection to the land — values that guide everything we do at Nanostead. As a leading home builder in WNC, we specialize in custom small homes, green homes, and ADUs that blend design efficiency with natural harmony.

From Asheville to Hot Springs, Weaverville to Mars Hill, our homes are built for the mountain lifestyle — compact, durable, and energy-conscious. We design every home to work with the terrain, using local materials and smart building methods that reduce waste, lower utility costs, and celebrate the spirit of sustainable living.

Custom Homes Designed for Mountain Life

Every property in Western North Carolina has its own challenges and opportunities — from steep grades to sweeping views. As a custom home builder, Nanostead helps homeowners design and build homes that fit their land and reflect their priorities.

Our process is collaborative and transparent. We focus on functional floor plans, right-sized footprints, and natural light. Whether you’re building a primary home, a retirement cottage, or a weekend retreat, our goal is to create a space that’s efficient, beautiful, and easy to maintain.

From foundation to finish, every Nanostead build is engineered for comfort, performance, and longevity in the Blue Ridge climate.

As land costs rise and lifestyles evolve, tiny homes and ADUs have become smart solutions for flexible living in WNC. Nanostead designs and builds small-footprint dwellings that meet zoning requirements, complement existing homes, and offer year-round comfort.

Many clients use ADUs as guest suites, income-producing rentals, or creative workspaces. Our builds are fully customized, with options for solar readiness, energy-efficient HVAC, and low-maintenance materials that make ownership simple and sustainable.

Whether you’re building in Asheville, Madison County, or the rural outskirts of Henderson or Haywood County, we help you plan for both now and the future.

Green Building for a Sustainable Future

As a green home builder in Western North Carolina, Nanostead combines craftsmanship with environmental responsibility. We use high-performance insulation, low-VOC materials, and renewable or locally sourced wood to minimize environmental impact.

Each project is designed to exceed modern energy standards, incorporating features such as passive solar orientation, water-efficient systems, and sustainable site management. The result is a home that not only looks beautiful but functions efficiently for decades to come — reducing your footprint without sacrificing comfort.

Nanostead proudly serves Asheville, Weaverville, Woodfin, Mars Hill, Hot Springs, and all of Madison County, as well as surrounding mountain communities across the region.

Whether your property is a hillside, valley, or riverside lot, we bring experience, creativity, and craftsmanship to every build.
