Ferry Road Community

The Ferry Road project is a sustainable mixed-use development that will offer affordable housing, conservation, and public recreational access along the French Broad River. The 137-acre property, owned by Buncombe County, will preserve more than 70 acres of land while providing 645 housing units, community services, and approximately four miles of public greenways with trails and public parking. The project will connect important locations in the area, such as Bent Creek River Park (the County’s most visited park), The Arboretum, and Biltmore Park West.

The Authority is investing in the public recreation and conservation components of the Ferry Road Project, which include approximately four miles of greenway and trails, public parking access, wetland access, and signage.
