Custom Homes Built for Pisgah Forest Living
Pisgah Forest sits just northeast of Brevard along US-64, defined by its immediate access to the main entrance of Pisgah National Forest — more than 500,000 acres of trails, trout streams, and famous waterfalls like Looking Glass Falls and Sliding Rock. It’s a favorite for buyers who want the forest at their doorstep.
We build custom homes on the forest-edge and river-adjacent parcels that make this community special, engineered for its wooded, water-rich terrain.

The Land Around Pisgah Forest
At about 2,100 feet along the US-64 corridor, Pisgah Forest ranges from valley floor to steep, national-forest-adjacent slopes, with abundant creeks and rivers. Forest-edge and stream-side lots are common, so flood-plain awareness, stream buffers, and drainage planning matter here.
Building Considerations in Transylvania County
Forest-adjacent and creekside lots call for floodplain and stream-buffer awareness, plus Transylvania County’s erosion-control rules for disturbances of 4,000 square feet or more. Rural parcels need well and septic with Environmental Health approval, and the region’s heavy rainfall makes drainage a priority.
Why Build in Pisgah Forest?
Pisgah Forest is the region’s outdoor-recreation gateway — hiking, trout fishing, mountain biking, and waterfalls are all minutes away, which makes it a perennial favorite for retirees and nature lovers wanting protected public land right next door.
