FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Homes are offered primarily in the $500,000s.

No. Prior to 2025, Black Mountain Estates homes were available for rent. However, BME has now been converted to a Planned Community with individual home lots available for purchase.

A Homeowners Association (HOA) is a non-profit organization that manages the community. It is comprised of and run by the homeowners. Its primary purpose is to maintain the quality and value of the property by managing common areas (community center, recreation area, etc), providing services, and enforcing a set of community rules.

The projected monthly HOA dues for each unit are outlined in the sales documents. These dues cover:

Trash removal, landscaping and lawn care, snow removal

Maintenance and repair of common areas

Community amenities (community center, gym, recreation area)

Master insurance policy for the buildings

Contribution to a reserve fund for future major repairs

Generally, the homeowner is responsible for maintaining their home. The HOA is responsible for all common areas. A detailed breakdown can be found in the HOA's governing documents.

Black Mountain Estates has skilled workers on its payroll as part-time employees. These workers are intimately familar with the community and homes, and can be contracted on an as-needed basis for maintenance needs.

CC&Rs stand for Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. They are the governing legal documents that set forth the rules for the community. All homeowners agree to abide by the CC&Rs when they purchase their home. They cover topics like architectural modifications, parking regulations, pet policies, and use of common areas. You will receive a full copy to review before you purchase.

Initially, Black Mountain Estates, LCC controls the HOA. As more homes are sold, a Board of Directors will be elected from among the homeowners. This board will be responsible for making decisions, setting the budget, and running the association on behalf of all owners.
