Walnut Hills Launches Off-Grid Hempcrete Homes and Eco-Retreat in Western NC
Rezul News/10707203
Macon Sustainable Development Company builds regenerative housing and rental cottages in a 153-acre conservation-focused resort near Franklin, NC.
FRANKLIN, N.C. - Rezul -- FRANKLIN, N.C. – July 2025 – Macon Sustainable Development Company has officially launched construction of Walnut Hills, a first-of-its-kind eco-resort and off-grid homestead community nestled in the mountains of Western North Carolina. The 153-acre site integrates regenerative homebuilding, conservation, and eco-tourism, anchored by handcrafted homes made from hempcrete, cordwood, and recycled materials.
The flagship structure—an Earthship-inspired 3-story residence—is now under development using natural building methods, volunteer-led workshops, and passive solar design. Additional plans include four affordable 2-bedroom rental cottages built under North Carolina's $30K owner-builder exemption, designed to attract eco-conscious tenants and support sustainable tourism in Macon County.

"Walnut Hills is more than a housing project," said Donald Pickett, founder of Macon Sustainable Development. "It's a blueprint for how we can build communities that honor the land, reduce environmental impact, and create long-term value for everyone involved."
The community also features trail systems, a shared well, off-grid energy options, and a planned disc golf retreat—all located near Highlands, Cullowhee, and the scenic Sugar Fork Valley.
Macon Sustainable Development operates a local landscape supply and equipment dealership while pioneering sustainable construction practices throughout the region. Through partnerships with local nonprofits, volunteers, and grant programs, the company is making alternative housing more accessible and replicable for rural communities.
