Nestled between Brevard and Pisgah National Forest, Glen Cannon is one of Transylvania County’s most scenic established mountain communities. Known for its large wooded homesites, dramatic rock outcroppings, waterfalls, creeks, and long-range mountain views, Glen Cannon offers a peaceful setting where nature takes center stage. Homes are thoughtfully spaced throughout the community, creating a sense of privacy that’s increasingly difficult to find this close to town.
Originally developed in the 1960s as a golf course community, Glen Cannon has evolved into a quiet residential neighborhood after the former golf course ceased operations. While the golf course is no longer open and is privately owned, the community remains highly desirable because of its natural beauty, established homes, generous lot sizes, and convenient location.
Most homes sit on one to two acres, with a mix of classic mountain architecture, contemporary homes, and custom-built residences. Many properties feature sweeping mountain views, mature hardwood forests, streams, waterfalls, or exceptional privacy. The neighborhood’s winding roads and abundant wildlife create a true mountain-living experience while still being just minutes from downtown Brevard.
One of Glen Cannon’s biggest advantages is its location. Residents enjoy quick access to Pisgah National Forest, DuPont State Recreational Forest, Brevard Music Center, and the restaurants, breweries, shopping, and healthcare available in downtown Brevard. Whether you’re looking for a full-time home or a mountain getaway, Glen Cannon offers a beautiful blend of privacy, convenience, and natural surroundings.
