Nestled in a premier riverfront community along the French Broad River, this home invites you to wake up to sweeping, year-round views where deer graze along the banks and bald eagles dive for their catch. Designed by architect Michael McDonaugh, this Green Built, near Net Zero home (HERS Index Score of 3) blends luxury with sustainability, assisted by 22 seller-owned solar panels. This meticulously maintained residence is built for both peace of mind and long-term efficiency, featuring a whole-home generator, 50-year commercial grade standing seam metal roof, 2x6 wall construction, and superior soundproofing. Sunlight pours through Pella windows and doors, framing the beauty outside from nearly every angle. The home’s thoughtful design ensures comfort and livability. Guests can gather around the gorgeous kitchen island while others unwind on expansive decks overlooking the river. At the end of the day, feel like you are glamping while making s'mores by the fire pit on the lower river level. Whether entertaining or seeking privacy, the home adapts seamlessly to both lifestyles. Importantly, this property is not in a flood plain and was not affected by Hurricane Helene. This exceptional residence is located within Olivette, a one-of-a-kind Agrihood situated along the French Broad River on over 411 acres.

Let your dog enjoy the expansive dog park, fish or kayak along the river, and gather with friends at the riverfront pavilion for live music under the stars. The recreation area along the water, children’s play spaces, and vibrant calendar of events foster a true sense of belonging. For those working remotely, Olivette’s layout provides ample privacy and spaces to balance work and relaxation in harmony with nature.
