Architectural Narrative
This unique homestead offers a rare blend of comfortable living, income potential, and truly distinctive outdoor amenities over almost 9 acres. Inside the main house, designed for both everyday living and entertaining, you will find numerous updates throughout the 3,235 square feet dwelling.
The heart of the house, a modern kitchen, features an 8-foot center island, custom cabinets, and quartz countertops. The large primary bedroom includes a completely remodeled bathroom that features marble throughout, a custom-made vanity, a large soaking tub, and a roomy walk-in shower. Step outside from one of four doors to the new, expanded Trex back deck and enjoy sweeping views—an ideal setting for watching the sunrise with your morning coffee or evening gatherings.
Downstairs, you will find a dedicated professional workshop—ideal for serious projects, hobbies, or a home-based business.
The grounds are equally impressive, featuring a large fenced area perfect for pups, along with an extraordinary conifer garden that serves as a designated reference site with over 200 species. Adding to the property’s one-of-a-kind appeal, you’ll find a stocked pond, a barn that is ready for chickens, and a disc-golf course that winds over the creeks and through the woods. The property features hiking trails throughout, including one that leads to the top of a ridge offering expansive views and camping opportunities. Enjoy apples and blueberries grown on this secluded property while watching ducks on the pond.
A separate, updated 1-bedroom apartment adds outstanding flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, or potential rental income.
Only 25 minutes from downtown Asheville, this truly unique property, offering space, privacy, versatility, and unforgettable outdoor features, making it a property you must see to appreciate.
