Country Meadows

Independent Assessment

Whether this Hendersonville, NC condominium community is connected to Country Meadows, the well-known national senior-living/CCRC brand that operates primarily in Pennsylvania and other states, was specifically checked, and no evidence of any affiliation was found. The Hendersonville property is governed by its own small, locally recorded entity, Country Meadows Condominium Association, Inc., consisting of just 25 units built in the mid-1990s in a private cul-de-sac, with no entrance fees, continuum-of-care services, or rental/licensed-facility structure of the kind the national brand operates. Multiple independent real estate directories (55places, Homes by Marco, mooresvillerealty) consistently describe it as an active-adult 55+ community, which is treated as genuine, consistent active-adult marketing, though the specific recorded condominium declaration's age-restriction clause has not been independently confirmed as a binding legal restriction; the community was fully built out in 1994-1996 and has been resale-only for years.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want a very small, quiet, low-maintenance condominium community in a private cul-de-sac setting with no through traffic, and who prefer a modest, established 1990s-era property over a larger amenity-heavy campus, are the best fit for Country Meadows.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Country Meadows was built between 1994 and 1996, reaching a final total of 25 condominium units arranged in a private cul-de-sac. Units range from roughly 1,400 to 1,904 square feet, with two to three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an attached one- or two-car garage. The identity of the original developer or builder could not be independently confirmed.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Recent individual sales and listings showed prices ranging roughly from $270,000 to $465,000 depending on unit size, condition, and updates. Given the community's small size (25 total units), inventory turns over infrequently; buyers should request recent closed comparables for the specific unit size and condition they want.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Country Meadows has been fully built out since 1996 and is resale-only; no evidence of any recent or planned new construction was found, contrary to an earlier informal characterization of the community as 'new construction.' Resale buyers should budget for a full independent inspection given the age of the units (built 1994-1996) and request the association's current financials and reserve information before closing.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes here are subject to Henderson County property tax; buyers should confirm whether the address falls within any additional municipal tax district and confirm current millage directly with the Henderson County Tax Assessor. North Carolina's Elderly or Disabled Property Tax Homestead Exclusion (N.C.G.S. 105-277.1) allows qualifying owners 65 or older (or totally and permanently disabled), below an annually adjusted income threshold, to exclude the greater of $25,000 or 50% of their home's appraised value from taxation, by filing Form AV-9 with the Henderson County assessor by June 1.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Country Meadows offers a low-key, low-maintenance lifestyle centered on its small, private cul-de-sac setting rather than shared clubhouse amenities, suiting residents who want a quiet, self-contained condominium community without a large activities calendar.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

The community sits on Country Meadows Lane in Hendersonville, within Henderson County, with reported proximity to downtown Hendersonville's shops, restaurants, and medical facilities typical of in-town Hendersonville addresses.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Independent real estate directories, including 55places and Homes by Marco, consistently describe Country Meadows as an active-adult 55+ condominium community, and that consistent, multi-source labeling is treated as genuine active-adult marketing. However, the specific recorded condominium declaration or covenant clause establishing a binding legal age restriction, consistent with the federal Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA) framework used by many age-restricted associations, could not be verified. Buyers should request the recorded declaration directly from Country Meadows Condominium Association, Inc. and confirm current age-verification procedures before purchasing.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Country Meadows is very small (only 25 units), so resale inventory is likely to be thin at any given time, and no evidence of shared clubhouse or recreational amenities was found beyond the exterior-maintenance services provided by the HOA. The specific recorded age-restriction covenant clause and current HOA dues have not been independently confirmed; both should be verified directly with the association before purchasing.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Within the Hendersonville active-adult cluster, Country Meadows is most comparable to Blue Ridge Villas as a small, 1990s-era, low-maintenance attached/condominium resale community, though Country Meadows is considerably smaller (25 units) and offers fewer shared amenities. It is unrelated to the national Country Meadows senior-living/CCRC brand despite sharing a name.

Current Listings

Given the community's small size (25 total units), a connected local agent can advise on current availability and recent closed comparables, which may be limited at any given time.
