40 river run

Set along a remarkably peaceful stretch of the French Broad River, 40 River Run offers a living experience that feels deeply connected to the rhythm of nature. From the moment you step inside, the sound of rushing water and gentle rapids becomes part of the home itself—creating a calm, grounding backdrop that changes with the seasons yet never loses its presence. Spend your mornings on the deck watching mist rise off the river while bald eagles glide overhead and dive for fish just beyond the shoreline. Evenings are slower here, shaped by sunsets reflecting across the water and the quiet stillness that settles in at dusk. Tucked within one of Asheville’s most thoughtfully designed agrihood communities, residents enjoy miles of walking trails, community gardens, shared river access, open green space, and a lifestyle centered around connection, simplicity, and the outdoors. Whether it’s fishing, swimming, kayaking, watching wildlife wander the riverbanks, or simply sitting still and listening to the water, this property invites you to experience the natural beauty of Western North Carolina in a way few homes can. Inside, the 2,331 sqft home blends warmth, comfort, and intentional craftsmanship. Heated floors, a Sonos sound system, circulation tub, and thoughtfully designed living spaces create an atmosphere that feels both elevated and relaxed. A spacious workshop offers flexibility for woodworking, storage, hobbies, or creative pursuits. Designed with sustainability and efficiency in mind, the home features geothermal HVAC, an indoor solar battery system, rainwater collection, minimal propane usage, and an impressive HERS Rating of 52. Importantly, the property is not located within a flood plain and experienced no flooding or damage from Hurricane Helene. 40 River Run is more than a home—it’s the feeling of being immersed in the river, the mountains, and the quiet beauty of everyday life along the French Broad.
