About this home
Set amid the rolling landscapes of Henderson County, Velvet Morning Farm is an extraordinary ±450-acre property offering a rare combination of natural beauty, agricultural infrastructure, recreation, and privacy. Expansive open meadows, mature forests, mountain vistas, and approximately 1.5 miles of frontage along the French Broad River create a remarkably diverse setting in the heart of Western North Carolina. Approximately 445 acres are protected under a permanent conservation easement, helping preserve the property’s rural character, wildlife habitat, forestland, and scenic beauty for generations to come. The landscape includes an abundant forest of mature mixed hardwoods, open fields and pastures, and miles of established four-wheel-drive logging roads that provide access throughout the property for horseback riding, hiking, ATV exploration, hunting, and land management. The French Broad River is one of the property’s defining amenities, providing opportunities for fishing, paddling, and quiet enjoyment along an extensive stretch of private river frontage. The farm also supports abundant bird and wildlife habitat, with deer, wild turkey, and other native species frequently seen throughout the property. Existing improvements enhance the property’s versatility and include a ±2,000-square-foot residence with sweeping sunset and mountain views, caretaker housing, greenhouse facilities, and a dedicated farm production building. Together with the open agricultural acreage, these improvements create opportunities for continued farming, equestrian use, conservation-focused ownership, or a private recreational retreat. Located in Etowah between Hendersonville and Brevard, the property enjoys a peaceful rural setting while remaining convenient to the dining, shopping, services, and recreational amenities of both communities. The broader area is known for its exceptional access to the mountains, rivers, trails, and outdoor recreation that define Western North Carolina. Velvet Morning Farm offers something increasingly difficult to find in the region: hundreds of contiguous acres where preserved mountain landscapes, productive farmland, extensive river frontage, wildlife habitat, and residential improvements come together in one exceptional property. Discover the charm of Etowah, NC, a tranquil destination for land and residential investors. Surrounded by the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains, the area offers a peaceful retreat with access to a range of outdoor activities. Just a short drive from Dupont State Forest, known for its enchanting waterfalls and extensive trail network, residents can easily explore the natural beauty of the region. Nearby Hendersonville provides a quaint downtown area with unique shops and restaurants, while the Biltmore Estate in Asheville offers a grand historical attraction. With its serene landscapes and convenient access to recreational and cultural amenities, this location presents an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a laid-back yet vibrant lifestyle.
