“ 01

I was born in Marshall, North Carolina. These mountains mean something to me. I have enjoyed an abundant life here, with countless memories. My vision for French Broad Crossing is to protect this one-of-a-kind setting so that families can create a living legacy to be passed on from generation to generation.”

A True Conservation Community “ It’s like heaven on earth.” Those are the words one of our homeowners used to describe French Broad Crossing. This land is home to old-growth forests, ancient river systems, freshwater ponds, fertile pastures, and countless opportunities for exploration and wonder. At French Broad Crossing, our chief responsibility is to preserve the integrity of the land. That’s why we have placed large tracts of land—nearly 1/3 of the total 750 acres—in permanent conservation. Families will enjoy a nature-based, multi-generational living experience that can be passed down from generation to generation.

Life on the River Imagine living in your own national park. That’s precisely the living experience that French Broad Crossing bestows.

05

Located along the ancient French Broad River— third oldest river in the world—this natureforward community is a haven for rafting, fishing, swimming, hiking, and outdoor adventure.

The moment you set your eyes on French Broad Crossing—the majestic river, the carefully preserved

mountain landscape, the sweeping views— you feel a connection to this community. Families are drawn to its picture-perfect setting, as well as the array of amenities and outdoor recreational activities for people of all ages. This is where the adventure starts and never ends.

“

It’s a beautiful place here, and there are so many ways to get out and enjoy nature—rafting on the river, fishing on the banks, hiking through virgin wilderness, watching the sun set over the ridgeline. That’s the stuff that we love, and we want to make sure it is here for our children’s children to enjoy long after we’re gone.”

— Patrick Stoyer & Donna Huston, Homeowners, French Broad Crossing
