Custom Homes Built for Horse Shoe Living
Horse Shoe is a small, rural community named for a horseshoe-shaped bend in the French Broad River — a compact stretch of rolling hills and family farms in western Henderson County, bordering our Etowah base. It’s one of the closest places to us that we build.
For buyers who want acreage, river access, and genuine quiet — while staying close to Hendersonville and Asheville — Horse Shoe offers rural living without the Buncombe County price tag.

The Land Around Horse Shoe
Horse Shoe covers about seven square miles of rolling hills in the French Broad River valley, with the river curving through its center. The valley terrain is largely buildable, but riverside parcels require careful floodplain and drainage planning.
Building Considerations in Henderson County
Horse Shoe is rural and unincorporated, so well and septic are common on acreage parcels — we confirm site conditions with Henderson County before design. Because the French Broad runs through the community, floodplain review is important for any riverside lot.
Why Build in Horse Shoe?
Horse Shoe is prized for acreage, French Broad river access, and a quiet agrarian feel that’s still minutes from Hendersonville and roughly 25 minutes from Asheville — and, being right next to Etowah, it’s where we can offer the closest oversight.
Building a Custom Home in Horse Shoe
Can you build on riverside or acreage lots in Horse Shoe?
Yes — much of Horse Shoe is acreage and rural-residential land, including parcels along the French Broad. We handle well, septic, floodplain review, and site planning for these lots.
How did Horse Shoe get its name?
From a horseshoe-shaped bend in the French Broad River that curves through the community — a fitting emblem for this river-valley area.
How close is Horse Shoe to Riverwood Builders?
Very close — Horse Shoe borders our Etowah base, so it’s under 10 minutes away. That proximity means frequent, hands-on oversight of your build.
