About this home
Introducing Blue Fish Farm — a rare, legacy estate set on over 160 acres of pristine riverfront land along the French Broad River in Brevard, North Carolina, just minutes from Pisgah National Forest, DuPont State Forest, and the area's world-famous waterfalls. Designed by Platt Architects, this extraordinary mountain retreat blends timeless craftsmanship with understated luxury and unmatched privacy.
The property features more than 12,700 square feet of total living space across multiple residences, including the main home, three guest cottages, a pool house, and a collection of well-curated outbuildings — all surrounded by lush pastures, hardwood forest, and over one mile of direct river frontage.
The main residence showcases incredible detail and character with heart pine floors, tongue-and-groove paneling, and natural bluestone finishes that echo the surrounding landscape. Large picture windows frame serene river and mountain views, while open living spaces flow effortlessly to covered porches and outdoor entertaining areas.
The estate includes several distinct guest homes:
The Treehouse (1,202 SqFt): a charming 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath retreat tucked within mature trees.
The Hideaway (2,781 SqFt): a 3-bedroom, 3-bath home offering open living and scenic privacy.
The Pool House (2,590 SqFt): a 1-bedroom guest residence with a full kitchen, gym, home theater, and 1.5 baths, overlooking a heated pool and tennis court.
Beyond the residences, Blue Fish Farm's landscape is an experience in itself — with three spring-fed ponds, a private trail system, rolling meadows, and breathtaking river frontage ideal for fly-fishing, kayaking, and horseback riding. The acreage supports a range of lifestyles, from a luxury mountain farm to a multi-generational family compound or private retreat center.
Less than 10 minutes from downtown Brevard's vibrant restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques — and within 30 minutes of both Hendersonville and the Asheville Regional Airport — this estate offers unmatched access to the best of Western North Carolina. Asheville's cultural scene and Lake Toxaway Country Club's private golf and dining are within easy reach, while the property remains serenely private, surrounded by nature and mountain views.
Blue Fish Farm is not just a home — it's a generational legacy, a French Broad River sanctuary, and one of the most exceptional luxury estates in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
