Located just 10 minutes from Brevard, N.C., on a mountain overlooking the East Fork of the French Broad River, The Branches at East Fork is a new, private community for those in search of a pristine and secluded mountain home.
Every effort has been made to minimize the community’s impact on woodland and to preserve the natural setting. Consequently, families are able to enjoy much of the same majestic scenery that attracted early settlers – picturesque mountain views, lush meadows and immaculate rivers.

When it’s time to return home, however, privacy is key. Each of the 85 one to two-acre homesites, set within woods, alongside meadows and on steeper slopes, will be secluded from roads and open areas. Added solitude is provided by the community’s gated entrance.
To compliment the area’s natural beauty, homes will incorporate natural palettes of wood and stone. Inspiration is drawn from woodland; natural architecture characteristic of the historic lodges and homes that dot the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains. The preferred architect for the community, Rand Soellner, can skillfully guide prospective homeowners through the design process.

Dubbed “The Land of Waterfalls,” the county is home to more than 250 waterfalls. With more than half the land protected by state parks and national forests, recreational options are endless, from rock climbing the face of Looking Glass Rock or fly-fishing on the Davidson River to horseback riding through the Pisgah National Forest or snow skiing at one of the five nearby winter ski resorts.
