About this home
Build your dream mountain home on this exceptional southwest-facing homesite in Couch Mountain, where long-range mountain views, abundant natural light, and spectacular sunsets create an unforgettable setting. This private lot backs up to conserved land and is framed by mature hardwoods, offering both beauty and lasting privacy. Three unique rock formations provide opportunities to create a distinctive driveway entrance, landscape feature, or architectural focal point. Additionally, several attractive boulders near the front of the property were intentionally placed there for future landscaping and garden design. Inspired by traditional Japanese garden "rock setting" techniques, these stones were selected and relocated to the site rather than naturally emerging from the ground. The lot has already been cleared for site work, soil testing is complete, and it is approved for a 4-bedroom septic system. A gentle slope offers flexibility for a walkout basement, crawl space, or single-level home design. A builder has performed an initial evaluation in 6 excavated test pits in the proposed building envelope and determined that surface rock was removed without the need for drilling. A 2-foot topographic survey is available, and underground power is already in place. Chickens and bees are permitted. Residents enjoy access to a 138-acre nature preserve, private hiking trails, a mountaintop park, community gardens, greenhouse, vegetable stand, and apiaries. Conveniently located between Asheville and Hendersonville, you'll enjoy easy access to dining, outdoor recreation, and everything Western North Carolina has to offer. Seller financing considered. A rare opportunity to build in a mountain community that blends natural beauty, privacy, and connection to the land.
