Welcome to Sutton Knob

Your Mountain Getaway Just Minutes from Brevard

Sutton Knob offers the best of both worlds: high mountain views and easy, gentle land that’s just 6 miles from downtown Brevard and only 2.5 miles from the entrance to Pisgah National Forest.

This 94-acre community was designed with outdoor lovers in mind. You’ll find nearly 40 acres of green space with peaceful hiking trails, quiet ponds, shady forests, and even a few waterfalls tucked into the landscape. Paved roads and underground utilities make it easy to feel both comfortable and connected.

Billy Harris had the vision for this community development and assembled several properties to make it work.  Then Billy worked handin hand with the Developer, road builder, land planner to forge this special offering.  All the original homesites we listed and sold by Billy Harris who has also represent a recent home sale in the community.  Nobody knows Sutton Knob than Billy.  

Sutton Knob is a dream spot for hikers and bikers who want quick access to DuPont and Pisgah National Forests—trailheads are just five minutes away by car. Whether you're looking to explore the outdoors or just relax and soak in the views, this place has you covered.

And when you’re ready for a change of pace, Brevard’s restaurants, shops, music, and art scene are just a quick 10-minute drive away.

As Eric Crews, Marketing Director for Sutton Knob, puts it: “The whole idea here is to create a community that celebrates the outdoors and everything that makes Transylvania County special.”

Whether you’re looking for adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both—Sutton Knob is a place you’ll want to come back to again and again.
