DR Horton New 4-Bed Home with Resort Amenities in Fletcher
Welcome to 96 Salers Rd — a brand-new DR Horton home in Tap Root Farms that balances thoughtful floorplan design with community-scale amenities. At approximately 2,175 sqft, this two-story plan places all four bedrooms upstairs and preserves the main level for living and working: a private study at the entry provides a quiet workspace, while the open kitchen anchors the home with a chef’s island, stainless appliances, and abundant counter space for meal prep and informal gatherings.
The spacious primary suite is sized to accommodate full bedroom sets and features a large walk-in closet. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are intentionally oversized and include walk-in closets, giving family members and guests plenty of storage. Practical touches—upper-level laundry, a powder room on the main floor, and a two-car attached garage—round out the everyday functionality buyers expect.
Outside the home, Tap Root Farms delivers a resort-like community experience: a 5,000 sqft clubhouse with fitness facilities, a large pool, playground, dedicated pickleball courts and a dog park. The subdivision is designed for low-maintenance living with neighborhood green spaces and walking routes. The location affords easy access to I-26 and US-25 corridors and places Asheville, regional shopping, and the airport within a short drive.
This spec home is offered by the builder and includes a smart home package and modern mechanicals (heat-pump HVAC with natural gas backup). With a competitive list price of $469,990 and a high-amenity community, this property is ready for buyers seeking immediate occupancy or investors targeting stable rents in an amenity-rich neighborhood.

A factual market snapshot around 96 Salers Rd.
The Fletcher area — part of the Asheville MSA — continues to attract buyers looking for newer homes with strong community amenities and relatively quick commutes into Asheville. Inventory across the metro has normalized since the pandemic peak, but demand for new-construction in well-amenitized communities remains healthy. Median resale prices in the broader area have been in the low-to-mid $400Ks; new homes with community amenities typically command a modest premium. For buyers, this environment favors securing a quality new build before local interest pushes pricing higher; for investors, rental demand remains solid and yields for 4-bedroom single-family homes commonly produce mid-single-digit gross returns. Confirm HOA dues and recent comparable sales for precise positioning.
