Built in the early 1990s and
nestled on 74 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains of
North Carolina, Riverwind is a planned, 55+
manufactured home community.
This is a small, well-groomed development with 100
homes and has a secluded setting with beautiful
mountain views. There are no phone
lines or electricity lines above ground, giving
Riverwind a tidy appearance, and paved curved
roads and cul de sacs help make this a quiet
place.

The residences here are well-constructed, as
are most newer manufactured homes. There are nine floor
plans from which to choose, and all have three bedrooms and two
baths. The smallest is the cute Allison with 1,100 sq. ft.,
and the largest is the Carrollwood Ranch with 1,825 sq. ft.
All homes have an attached one-car or two-car garage with a concrete
driveway, and prices start at $164,000. The builder is
offering incentives, however, so the least expensive new home is
currently $156,000 (re-sales can be found in the low
$100,000s). The most expensive residence tops out in the low
$200,000s. Homes have open floor plans, and some have
skylights and fireplaces. Roofs are fiberglass
shingles. HOA fees
are $80 per month. For more information, call 828-891-4600
or visit www.riverwind.com.

Riverwind does not have an overwhelming number of amenities, but it
does have a clubhouse, a swimming pool and recreational
facilities. It is also close to Etowah Valley Golf Club, which
has three 9 hole public courses and has been rated by Golf Digest
as one of the Top 50 Golf Destinations.
Hendersonville (population 12,000), where Riverwind is located,
has weather similar to other areas of the
southeastern U.S. but with slightly cooler temperatures thanks to
the elevation (2,100 feet above sea level). The average July high is 84
degrees, and the average low is 64 degrees. The
average January high is
46 degrees, and the average low is 27 degrees.
The city almost always receives some snow each year, which tends
to shut down the place. Humidity averages 60% a
year. The sun shines roughly 55% of the time.
The area is at slightly
higher risk than the national average for earthquakes.
Autumns are simply splendid!
