Contemporary 4BR Home on 1.95-Acre Lot in Gated Old Orchard
What first strikes you at 72 Summer Shade Court is the breadth of the lot: nearly two acres tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac inside the gated Old Orchard community. The property’s gently sloping grounds and mature tree lines create a private, park-like setting while still being part of a compact, amenity-rich neighborhood. From the driveway, the contemporary lines and hardboard exterior read clean and modern; inside, the home unfolds across two thoughtful levels and 3,352 square feet of living space.
The main level centers on a modern, well-equipped kitchen and an open living area anchored by a wood-burning stove — a warm focal point during cooler months. Built in 2019, the home delivers recent-construction conveniences: a heat pump for efficient HVAC, a covered deck off the back for quiet mornings or evening gatherings, and an attached two-car garage. Thoughtful touches include hardwood-like finishes in primary living spaces, three full bathrooms, and a layout that supports both everyday living and entertaining.
Downstairs, the finished walkout basement expands the home’s versatility: ideal for multigenerational arrangements, a media room, workshop, or home gym. With a private well and a private sewer system, utilities reflect a rural-residential setup; Duke Energy provides electric service. The property’s condition is listed as excellent, and systems are modern for a 2019 build — though buyers should note the private sewer system as part of routine maintenance planning.
Life in Old Orchard blends privacy with community. Residents enjoy a clubhouse, pool, and hot tub—amenities that make it easy to socialize without leaving the neighborhood. Yet Hendersonville’s dining, shopping, and cultural options are only a short drive away, and regional outdoor destinations such as Lake Lure and Chimney Rock State Park are within a 20-mile radius when you want larger-scale recreation. With comparable gated-community sales nearby and an estimated market range of $850,000–$950,000 (midpoint $900,000), this property presents a strong value for buyers seeking space, modern construction, and resort-style neighborhood amenities.

Location
72 Summer Shade Ct, Hendersonville, NC 28792
Old Orchard is a quiet, gated enclave of newer homes that balances residential privacy with community amenities. Properties sit on generous, often wooded lots; the HOA-maintained clubhouse area includes a pool and hot tub that encourage casual neighborly gatherings. The neighborhood’s cul-de-sacs and rolling topography create a rural-suburban feel while keeping Hendersonville’s restaurants, shops, and seasonal festivals an easy drive away. Residents value privacy, outdoor access, and a close-knit community atmosphere.
Strong community amenities (clubhouse, pool, hot tub) plus regional outdoor attractions: Lake Lure and Chimney Rock State Park are within about 15–16 miles, offering hiking, boating, and scenic recreation.
A factual market snapshot around 72 Summer Shade Ct.
Local market metrics point to a balanced-to-slight seller’s market in the Hendersonville corridor. Inventory sits around 3.5 months—below what’s generally considered neutral—while average days on market are longer at roughly 107 days, reflecting a market where well-priced, well-located homes still attract selective buyer attention. Median sale price in the broader area is approximately $498,750, but homes in gated communities like Old Orchard command a premium; comparable gated-community sales within a mile have ranged from about $850K to $1.24M over the past year. Appreciation has been modest — roughly 5% year-over-year and around 25% over five years — signaling steady, not speculative, growth. For this property type (single-family homes in gated communities), demand historically outpaces supply relative to the broader market, which supports price resilience. Given current inventory and steady demand for amenity-rich neighborhoods, now is a favorable window for sellers; buyers who prioritize privacy, a larger lot, and community amenities will find Old Orchard a compelling option, especially if they are seeking longer-term stability rather than a short-term flip.
