Cradled on a scenic mountain plateau between the Great Smokies and the Blue Ridge Mountains, sits beautiful, historic Hendersonville, North Carolina.   “The City of Four Seasons” is known for its gentle climate, gorgeous scenery, wonderful cultural life, abundant recreational facilities and year-round golf.

The almost perfect climate combined with excellent health services, a wide variety of housing options,  numerous cultural and educational opportunities along with a thriving downtown district, has earned Hendersonville national recognition as one of the best places to live and retire.

For more than 100 years, Hendersonville has been a peaceful resort in the mountains.  Today, with an economic base consisting of a balanced mix of industry, agriculture, tourism and retirement, Hendersonville attracts people of all ages with interests ranging from business opportunity to simply finding congenial surroundings for retirement.

On Hendersonville’s southern border sits historic Flat Rock, one of the five other incorporated towns of Henderson County.  Flat Rock was begun by affluent Charleston families in 1827 as a colony of elegant estates and luxurious summer homes.  Today, it is still a community of graceful homes (many of the original mansions still stand) and it has developed as an attractive commercial center as well.

In each corner of Henderson County, from the Carl Sandburg Home to Pisgah National forest, the past adds a unique dimension to the stimulation of present day life with the Flat Rock Playhouse, Hendersonville Symphony Orchestra, quality art galleries, restaurants and fun-filled festivals.
