About Beaverdam

The Beaverdam Valley has a rich history that spans back to Native Americans who hunted along its once-rushing creek and among its forests of native chestnuts and tulip poplars. European settlers arrived in the 1780s, bringing industry and development, yet the valley’s pastoral charm remained and continues to endure today. 


Among Beaverdam Valley’s notable residents was environmental writer Wilma Dykeman, whose nearby Homestead remains a historical landmark and now hosts contemporary writers through UNCA’s Writers-in-Residence program. Wilma wrote of Beaverdam Creek, “Nothing I look upon has been planted. All lives and thrives here by natural design.” 

Homes & Neighborhoods

The architecture amongst Beaverdam homes for sale ranges from antebellum farmhouses to rustic log cabins to contemporary GreenBuilt cottages. The North Asheville neighborhood sits at the heart of the larger Beaverdam Valley, with Beaverdam Road serving as its center. 


To the east, the valley extends to the ends of Lynn Cove and Webb Cove Roads, while the northern boundary is marked by Elk Mountain Scenic Highway. On the southern side, Beaverdam encompasses all roads branching off Beaverdam Road up to Town Mountain Road. Its western edge begins at the intersection of Beaverdam Road and Merrimon Avenue.
