And you can finally welcome your weekends back, since all exterior home maintenance and lawn care is provided for. The Orchards of Flat Rock is just minutes from the scenic Village of Flat Rock. Here you will find the sprawling estate of Carl Sandburg, Jr. and the Flat Rock Playhouse. Just 5 miles north is downtown Hendersonville with cafes, live music, antique shops, and street dances in the summer. Festivals are popularly attended throughout the year. Asheville is 30 minutes away with more shopping, dozens of art galleries, and the famed Biltmore Estate. To the south is Greenville, SC, with Furman University, the Peace Center, and more to do. To the west is Brevard, Dupont Forest, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Pisgah Forest. Hiking, waterfalls, fly fishing, canoeing, anyone?
