Less than 7 miles from the waterfalls and trails of DuPont State Recreational Forest and under 9 miles from the charming shops, restaurants, and small-town vibe of downtown Brevard, this spacious 2,319-square-foot, 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home positions you right in the heart of Western North Carolina’s most sought-after outdoor lifestyle. Nestled in the forested hills near the junction of Brevard and DuPont, the home sits on a private 0.65-acre wooded lot backing to conserved HOA-protected land, offering the quiet retreat of the mountains without sacrificing easy access to town and recreation. The two-story layout features Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors on all of the main level, a large formal living room, a separate dining room for gatherings, and a bright, L-shaped eat-in kitchen with an island and breakfast area. The adjacent den is centered around a striking stone fireplace with gas logs. Sliding doors open to a massive 12' x 33' rear deck complete with a hot tub, creating an ideal spot to unwind after a day on the trails or downtown in Brevard. An oversized laundry and storage room, and attached two-car garage add convenience and practicality to everyday life. Upstairs you’ll find four spacious bedrooms and two full baths, including a generous primary suite with a dual-vanity bath, separate soaking tub, and walk-in shower. Recent upgrades include a newer roof and HVAC systems, bringing modern comfort to this well-built home. Located within the Sherwood Forest community—an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary—this property also offers resort-like neighborhood amenities such as a heated junior-Olympic pool, tennis and pickleball courts, an 18-hole par-3 golf course, five spring-fed lakes for swimming, fishing, and paddling, and over 20 miles of wooded hiking trails winding through preserved forestland. Whether you’re drawn to Brevard’s arts and music scene, the waterfalls, hikes and bike rides of DuPont, or the peaceful, bird-friendly sanctuary of Sherwood Forest, this home bridges all three worlds, giving you privacy on a wooded lot and the convenience of being minutes from both town and our area's famous mountain recreation.
