Where is The Townes at Martha Kate?

The Townes at Martha Kate is a 26-lot new construction community inside Hendersonville, NC city limits, bounded by Queen Street and North Main Street, with homes on Martha Avenue and Martha Kate Drive. Mud Creek and the Oklawaha Greenway run along its southern edge.

How much do homes cost at The Townes at Martha Kate?

Pricing is right around $600,000. All seven floor plans have three bedrooms and two and a half baths, from about 1,690 to 2,155 square feet. Confirm current pricing and availability with Moore and Son.

What floor plans are available at Martha Kate?

Seven plans: the Beckford (1,721 sq ft), Riverside (1,786) and Oakley (1,825) are two-story plans, and the Riverside Garage (1,690), Beckford Garage (1,774), Riverside LL (1,979) and Beckford LL (2,155) add a walkout lower level. Every plan has three bedrooms, two and a half baths and a wine bar.

Do Martha Kate homes have a main-floor primary bedroom?

Six of the seven plans put the primary bedroom on the main level. The exception is the Oakley, which puts all three bedrooms upstairs.

Do the homes at Martha Kate have garages?

Only two of the seven plans include a garage, the Riverside Garage and the Beckford Garage, and in both it is on the lower level. If a garage is a must, that narrows your options quickly.

What are the HOA fees at The Townes at Martha Kate?

About $180 per month in our review, covering the roads and common areas, including the dog park.

Is The Townes at Martha Kate in a flood zone?

It depends on the lot. Mud Creek runs along the southern boundary, and on the current flood maps a couple of home sites are near the 0.2 percent annual chance zone, often called the 500-year zone. The rest are outside it. Check the FEMA map for your specific lot and get a written flood insurance quote.

What construction features come with Martha Kate homes?

Zip board on walls and roof, Advantec subfloor, fiber cement siding, 30-year shingles, foam insulation, Andersen 100 windows, 8-foot solid-core doors, a tankless water heater, Trex decking on the rear porch, granite, all-wood soft-close cabinets, a farmhouse sink, a Z-Line appliance package with gas range, and a beverage bar with a wine refrigerator.

Is Canton NC fully recovered from Hurricane Helene?

Not entirely. As of August 2026, the town's core is open and functioning, businesses have reopened, and rebuilding is underway through programs including Renew NC. Some residential areas near the Pigeon River and portions of local infrastructure remain in various stages of repair, and the pace is tied to federal funding flows that have been slower than the community wanted.

How far is Canton NC from Asheville?

Canton sits roughly 20 miles west of Asheville, about a 20 minute drive. That gives you access to the Asheville job market, airport, and cultural ecosystem while keeping a distinctly different address and price point.

What are home prices like in Canton NC in 2026?

Based on the most recent data available in August 2026, the median home price in Canton runs roughly $300,000 to $365,000, with an average of about $253 per square foot. That is below Hendersonville, Black Mountain, Brevard, and the Asheville metro.

How long do homes take to sell in Canton NC?

Days on market in Canton has been running around 82 to 97 days as of August 2026, notably slower than Henderson County's most active price tiers. For a buyer that means more time to evaluate and more room to negotiate. For a seller it means pricing and presentation carry more weight.

What should buyers know about flood zones in Canton NC?

Flood zone verification is essential for any property near the Pigeon River or its tributaries. Current FEMA maps may have been updated after Helene, so check the effective map rather than an older one, expect your lender to require verification, and ask directly about any Helene-related damage, repairs, open permits, or insurance claims tied to the specific property.

What happened to the Canton paper mill?

The Pactiv Evergreen paper mill closed permanently in May 2023 after more than a century of operation under various owners, eliminating roughly 1,100 jobs. The site itself, more than 100 acres in the center of town, is now the subject of active redevelopment discussions and is the single biggest variable in Canton's economic future.

Is Canton a good place to retire in Western North Carolina?

It depends on what you want from retirement. Canton offers affordability, outdoor access, and a real community, but it does not offer the walkable, amenity-dense infrastructure of an established retirement market. If that infrastructure matters to you, compare Canton against Hendersonville and Brevard before deciding.

How does Canton compare to Waynesville, Brevard, or Hendersonville?

Canton generally comes in below all three on price and sits closer to Asheville than Brevard or Hendersonville. What it trades away is the finished downtown amenity base and the settled feel those markets offer. The Asheville Area Town Finder is the fastest way to see where Canton lands against the rest of the region.

Why Brookland Place Stands Out

Some context first, because it matters more than people realize. Western North Carolina does not have much new construction compared with the rest of the Southeast. The reason is terrain: there is very little flat, easily buildable land, and site work on a slope is expensive. So most of what gets built is small, and most of the housing stock is older. When three genuinely new neighborhoods come online at once in one town, that is a real event for buyers who want a house nobody has lived in. This page covers one of them in depth. Our new construction comparison covers all three.

Brookland Place is the easiest of the three to get into. It sits at 1202 Greenville Highway on a tract of about seven acres, inside Hendersonville city limits and about a mile from downtown. The site map shows 50 townhome sites in buildings along two streets, Pebble Dash Lane and Oleetah Falls Way, with a dog park at the north end and a central community park with a fire pit and gathering area. It is built by DRB Homes, a large regional builder.

The biggest thing it has going for it is the walk. Sidewalks run the entire way to downtown Hendersonville. That is genuinely rare, and if walkability is why you are moving here, Brookland Place is the only one of the three new communities that delivers it. Our walkable guide to downtown Hendersonville shows what is waiting at the other end.

The Homes and What Is Included

These are two-story Craftsman townhomes on DRB’s Litchfield plan: three bedrooms and two and a half baths, with all three bedrooms upstairs. DRB’s standard features list is long, and the appliances and smart-home features come with the house.

What the Recorded Declaration Says

We read the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Brookland Place Townhomes, recorded February 12, 2026 at Book 4396, Pages 683 to 708 with the Henderson County Register of Deeds. The community is governed by the Brookland Place Townhomes Owners Association under the North Carolina Planned Community Act. Here is what matters most.

Key Brookland Place declaration provisions

Summary of the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Brookland Place Townhomes, BK 4396, PG 683 to 708. This is not legal advice. Read the recorded document and consult your attorney.

Three items deserve a second read. First, the maintenance and insurance split: if you are coming from a condo and hear lock-and-leave, you may assume the association handles and insures the roof. It does not. Second, parking: the declaration’s one-garage-space rule is stricter than the two-car driveway on the features sheet suggests, so get a clear answer in writing on driveway parking. Third, developer control: until the community is sold out or 2032, the developer can change the rules unilaterally. Our buyer checklist builds covenant review into due diligence.

The Honest Trade-Offs

No main-floor primary bedroom. All three bedrooms are upstairs. For many buyers that is the whole conversation, and it is worth knowing in the first five minutes rather than the last.

Exteriors and insurance are on you. The association handles the lawn and common areas. The roof, siding, windows, exterior doors, HVAC and full replacement insurance are yours. Budget for both.

Tight rules on parking and outdoor space. One garage space under the declaration, no sheds or play sets, and container gardens only. That keeps the community tidy, but it is a real constraint if you have a second car, a motorcycle or a garden habit.

Rentals cut both ways. The declaration sets no minimum lease term and bars only timeshares, but every lease must follow local ordinances, and this is inside city limits. As of our review we are not aware of City of Hendersonville rules restricting it, but rules change, so confirm them yourself before you write an offer. If you are buying to live there quietly, remember that nothing in the declaration stops your neighbors from renting short term either.

City taxes. Inside city limits you pay the county rate plus the city rate. Our NC property taxes guide explains the structure.
