Swains Creek Pines Lot Owners Association

Architectural Review Process
New Construction, Additions and Improvements

The Association is proud of the way our development has grown.  There have been many new cabins constructed in recent years, as well as significant upgrades and additions made to older cabins.  We recognize and appreciate the investment and efforts that lot owners are making in their mountain homes.

The Swains Creek Pines Conditions, Covenants, Reservations and Restrictions (CC&R’s) require that all lots be used, built upon, improved and held in such a way as to preserve and enhance their pastoral, scenic beauty as mountain cabin residential sites, free from unsightly neglect or abuse.  No improvement or structure whatever, other than a first class private dwelling house, patio walls, swimming pool, and customary outbuilding, garage, carport, servants’ quarters, or guest house may be erected, placed, or maintained on any lot in such premises.

If you are planning to construct, build, assemble, erect or place any type of structure, shelter or exterior improvements on your lot, you must first submit an Architectural Request Form (Click Here to Download the Form), along with a detailed description and a copy of your plans, to the Swains Creek Pines Manager.  This would include cabins, remodels, add-ons, decks, outbuildings, garages, sheds, storage containers, playhouses, guest houses etc., whether or not a building permit is required.  The Manager will forward your request to the SCPLOA Architectural Committee for review. 

When planning your project, please allow sufficient time for the Committee members to review, clarify any questions or view the site if necessary.  Written approval from the Architectural Committee is required prior to the start of any construction or placement.  If you have any questions, please contact the SCPLOA Manager.
