Set within Sherwood, an established gated enclave of substantial custom residences and generous estate-sized homesites, this exceptional 3.46-acre property stands out for its unusually level topography and park-like setting. Thoughtfully and selectively cleared, the homesite has been opened up while preserving mature trees, creating an inviting landscape with an established walking trail and making it easy to appreciate the scale, beauty and usability of the land from the moment you arrive. Much of the initial clearing and site preparation has already been completed, offering a meaningful advantage for future construction. Natural gas and underground electric are available, with well and septic to be installed by buyer. Water connection at main road is available as an option. Current community restrictions require a minimum 3,500-square-foot residence, helping preserve the architectural quality and estate-like character of Sherwood. The neighborhood is defined by impressive custom homes, large lots and a sense of privacy and separation between properties, yet remains something of a hidden gem within Flat Rock. Just minutes from the heart of the village, the location offers convenient access to local dining and shops, Flat Rock Playhouse, the Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site and nearby Hendersonville. A rare opportunity to create a custom residence on beautiful, usable acreage in one of Flat Rock’s most distinctive residential settings.
