Custom Modern Farmhouse on 0.77-Acre Lot in Berwick Downs
What distinguishes this farmhouse is its setting inside Berwick Downs — a gated enclave that puts Kenmure Country Club and Flat Rock’s cultural anchors within easy reach. Sited on a level, landscaped 0.77-acre lot, the home presents a confident combination of fiber cement and stone exterior, a covered front porch and a long, private yard that invites weekend gatherings or quiet evenings by the stone fireplace.
Step through a vaulted-ceiling entry and you feel the house’s modern attention to proportion. The great room centers on a stone hearth and opens toward the chef’s kitchen, appointed with granite countertops and thoughtful workspaces for everyday cooking and entertaining. The main level hosts the primary suite, finished with a spa-like walk-in shower and a layout that reads as a comfortable private wing. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms and a full bath — ideal for family, guests or a home office.
Built in 2019 with low-maintenance materials and contemporary systems (central air, forced air heating), the residence totals 2,918 square feet of living space and includes a two-car attached garage. Utilities include municipal water, private sewer and Piedmont Natural Gas. The result is a modern farmhouse that feels complete and move-in ready without a long to-do list.
Lifestyle here blends privacy with convenience: Kenmure Country Club sits roughly 0.5 miles away; the Flat Rock Playhouse and the Carl Sandburg Home are within a couple of miles, and downtown Hendersonville’s shops and restaurants are a short drive. Buyers should note the community’s annual HOA of $2,222 and recent transaction history — the property was acquired by the current owner in March 2025 for $1,150,000 — which reflect the market for gated, well-appointed homes in Flat Rock.

A factual market snapshot around 74 Shipman Pkwy.
Flat Rock’s higher-end residential pockets like Berwick Downs are currently favoring sellers, though conditions are stabilizing toward a balanced market. Inventory in the area sits around 3.2 months, and the local median sale price is near $900,000; comparable gated-community homes typically move within an average of 45 days. Year-over-year appreciation is approximately 5%, with a stronger 25% rise over five years — evidence of sustained demand for newer, well-appointed properties. For single-family homes in gated neighborhoods, limited supply and proximity to amenities like Kenmure Country Club support pricing resilience. Buyers should be mindful of HOA costs and school ratings when comparing value; investors evaluating rental potential will note an estimated monthly rent in the $3,000 range but a modest gross yield (~3.1%). In short: motivated sellers still command attention, while measured buyer activity and low inventory make this a good moment to secure a distinctive Berwick Downs property before new listings increase.
