Fall at French Broad Crossing

By Southern Living

Situated on the French Broad River, among 750 acres of tree-lined forests, French Broad Crossing is a mountain community that leaves you longing to return to mountain living. From the moment you set foot on this property and breathe in the fresh mountain air, or hear the majestic roar of the river below, you realize: this place is special. This is not your typical western North Carolina mountain community. Instead of a golf course, they have vast acres of unspoiled wilderness. Instead of a dress code, they offer the casual comfort of a tight-knit community. Instead of a spa, they offer rustic adventures along the banks of the mighty French Broad, the third oldest river in the world. Exerience for yourself all that this beautiful place has to offer.
