Illahee Hills

Brevard, North Carolina
Established in-town neighborhood with lush greenery and quiet streets, close to local amenities.

Illahee Hills Overview

Located just minutes from downtown Brevard, Illahee Hills is one of the area’s most established neighborhoods, offering a unique combination of spacious homesites, mature hardwood forests, and exceptional convenience. Developed primarily in the 1970s and 1980s, the community is known for its solidly built homes, quiet streets, and wooded setting that provides both privacy and a true mountain feel—all while remaining close to everyday amenities.

Unlike many mountain communities with extensive amenities and higher HOA fees, Illahee Hills appeals to buyers who value generous lots, established landscaping, and a peaceful residential atmosphere. Homes range from classic ranches and split-levels to custom mountain homes, with many properties offering one acre or more, mature trees, and seasonal mountain views.

One of Illahee Hills’ greatest strengths is its location. Residents enjoy being just a few minutes from downtown Brevard’s restaurants, breweries, shopping, healthcare, and entertainment, while also having quick access to Pisgah National Forest, DuPont State Recreational Forest, the Brevard Music Center, and countless hiking, biking, and fishing opportunities.

For buyers seeking an established neighborhood with character, larger lots, and a convenient location, Illahee Hills continues to be one of Brevard’s hidden gems.
