Transylvania County, North Carolina
Transylvania County occupies the southern Blue Ridge Mountains southwest of Asheville, centered on Brevard — home to Brevard College — with Pisgah Forest, Rosman, and the resort community of Lake Toxaway nearby. Pisgah National Forest and DuPont State Forest cover much of the county, so the market runs on second homes and retirees, and steep-slope rules limit how much private land can be built on.
