Nestled away in the foothills of North Carolina, Sawmills has qualities that are appealing to both its citizens and visitors alike. From the beautiful scenery of the surrounding area to the hospitable people of our town, you will feel warm, welcome, and at home.

Sawmills has been able to retain its southern small town charm, while emerging as a destination bedroom community. With several regional companies locating here, we consider ourselves to be a business friendly community.

This is a place where you can enjoy small town living, while being only a short drive away from much larger cities such as Charlotte, Asheville, and Winston Salem.

Our streets are safe and our establishments are welcoming. Businesses thrive here and family comes first. We are truly a town with a future. If you have never been to our friendly town, consider yourself invited.
