Green Built Alliance member Mountain Sun Building & Design took top honors for Elk Wallow Gap as the Best Green Home in the 2025 WNC Parade of Homes, standing out among several GBA members who showcased their craftsmanship and skill at building exceptional, high performance homes.
A green built home is a commitment to designing and building in harmony with the land, conserving energy and water, and creating spaces that sustain both people and the planet. A green built home reflects a vision for what the built environment can be when we lead with care, innovation, and integrity.
Elk Wallow Gap pushes that vision further than ever before. The home is Green Built Platinum Net Zero Energy certified, generating at least as much energy as it consumes. It integrates regenerative design principles, minimizes waste, and achieved the highest Green Built Homes score ever recorded, a whopping 383 points. It is a remarkable testament to what’s possible when craftsmanship meets conscience.
Please join Green Built Alliance in congratulating Mountain Sun Building & Design for creating a home that both embodies the spirit of green building in Western North Carolina and also sets a new standard for what’s next.
