Sherwood Forest Homes for Sale

Community Highlights

Sherwood Forest reads more like a mountain preserve than a conventional subdivision. South of Brevard in the Cedar Mountain area, it is defined by five community lakes, a long trail network that listings regularly describe at roughly 20-plus to 25 miles, and a heavily wooded landscape where streams, waterfalls, rhododendron, mountain laurel, and mature hardwoods are part of the setting rather than occasional extras.

The housing stock is broad enough to give the neighborhood real texture. MLS history shows single-family homes from 1940 through 2022, with the largest concentration built from the 1970s into the 1980s, plus a smaller condo segment and a steady flow of homesites. Older cottages and contemporary mountain houses sit beside newer custom builds, and the interior language is consistent: decks, screened porches, fireplaces, hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and open living areas appear again and again. Lakefront and river-view condos add another layer, especially around Little River, the golf course, and the community ponds.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Shared amenities are a central part of Sherwood Forest's identity. Listings repeatedly highlight a heated junior Olympic pool, tennis and pickleball courts, an 18-hole par-3 golf course, and Robin Hood Barn as the neighborhood gathering place. Several properties are advertised within walking distance of the pool, golf, courts, or trailheads, underscoring how the amenity network is woven into daily circulation rather than set off in a distant clubhouse tract.

The natural setting is just as prominent. Little River, Boot Lake, Trout Lake, Betty Kay Lake, and smaller streams show up throughout the listing history, and homes on larger wooded sites often back to green space or water. The community record shows average lot acreage at about 1.82 acres, while the broader listing history puts the median recorded lot size at roughly 0.86 acre, reinforcing the sense of elbow room that runs through the neighborhood.
