Property Description

Set amid the rolling landscapes of Henderson County, Velvet Morning Farm is an extraordinary ±450-acre property offering a rare combination of natural beauty, agricultural infrastructure, recreation, and privacy. Expansive open meadows, mature forests, mountain vistas, and approximately 1.5 miles of frontage along the French Broad River create a remarkably diverse setting in the heart of Western North Carolina.
