This unique agri-hood is home to a vibrant working farm producing vegetables, fruit, and flowers, while offering residents an extraordinary collection of natural amenities.

It is a rare setting where the rhythm of the river, the mountains, the farm, and the changing seasons become part of everyday life. A truly special homesite. A completely custom home. An extraordinary community. Residents enjoy access to walking and hiking trails, orchards, community gardens, pickleball court, a private river island with pavilion and fireplace, a fire circle amphitheater, suspended bridge, labyrinth, dog park, playground, and riverfront park. This home offers a lifestyle of nature and leisure in an intentional community. This is mountain living at its most refined—private, connected to nature, and remarkably close to everything Asheville has to offer.
