Sherwood Forest is a residential community, comprised of 200 homes, situated on one thousand forested acres in southern Transylvania County, North Carolina, and is managed by Sherwood Forest Homeowners Association.  As an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, residents place a high priority on maintaining the natural environment and preserving native species of both plants and animals.  In Sherwood Forest, you will NOT find manicured lawns; rather you'll find homes in the middle of the woods. 

Our Framework of Principles reflect the community’s emphasis on volunteerism to meet the needs of the community.  We urge prospective homeowners to review this document, as well as our Information Sheet For Prospective Homeowners.  Our Documents are also available for your review.

Our population is diverse including retired individuals, as well as those still in the work force; individuals in their 80's, as well as families with children; part-time residents, as well as those who live here full time.
