About MACK Constructors and North Hill Homes
MACK Constructors and North Hill Homes are based in Asheville, NC. The two companies work together as a design-oriented home builder (North Hill acts as developer, MACK as builder). We create high value properties for our buyers through thoughtful architectural design, durable and efficient construction, and streamlined operating practices. We are focused on creating new neighborhoods of between 10-25 homes, typically ranging in size from 1,200 to 2,500 square feet per home.
While we offer our homes at competitive prices, they are not “builder grade” homes. We may construct models that are small and have commensurately lower prices but our brand identity is focused on high quality, design forward, thoughtful housing. North Hill Homes uses high quality materials, efficient equipment and fixtures, and best practices to produce homes that are attractive, efficient to operate, and low maintenance.
