Rural. :) The home is secluded, and while it is in a rural area, you are only a short 10-minute drive to downtown Hendersonville. We have only a few neighbors on our short, private road. We sometimes take evening strolls down the road. Traffic is light and everyone goes nice and slow. If you are so inclined, you could easily ride a bicycle into town. The gravel road to the home does not require a 4WD. It is a little rutty though, and vehicles with a low clearance should just navigate it with a little care. Our Toyota Prius gets in and out of their easily, all the time. You are a hop, skip, and a jump from anything and everything that Western NC has to offer. We typically drive everywhere, but Uber is active in the area for your convenience.
