New ListingNestled 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.
