Sylvan Habitat

The Sylvan Habitat community is uniquely located just six miles from downtown Brevard, and adjacent to Dupont State Forest. Spanning over 550 leafy, mountainous acres, this neighborhood was developed around the idea that privacy and nature are the most valuable amenities a community can offer. From home sites nestled on wooded lots, you’d never know you’re a short drive away from the many dining, shopping and entertainment options Brevard has to offer. This desirable location is also close to many of the other draws of Transylvania County, including the iconic Brevard Music Center, Pisgah National Forest and more.

Nature lovers will find six miles of private hiking trails right outside the door, winding through the 200 acres of conservation easements and even connecting to the Dupont Forest trail system. More than 12 mountain streams flow through Sylvan Habitat, and several resulting waterfalls are dotted throughout the community. A community picnic pavilion offers a place to gather with family, friends and neighbors.

Lots in Sylvan Habitat range from two to ten acres, and many offer sweeping panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Parkway and the surrounding mountain ranges. Existing homes range in style from arts & crafts to mountain rustic, and buildable lots await the mountain retreat of your dreams. Several of the parcels here have been designated equestrian lots. Whether you’re hunting for spring wildflowers, birdwatching or taking in the long range views, this mountain hideaway provides a rare opportunity to be both immersed in nature and close to the comforts of town.
