About this home

Follow the gentle streams home to this beautifully updated three-bedroom, three-bath mountain retreat on 3.43 private wooded acres in West Burnsville. Pass picturesque barns and grazing cattle along the way before arriving at a peaceful property surrounded by established gardens, natural stonework, mountain views and abundant wildlife. Enjoy morning coffee overlooking the forest, wander through lush garden areas or relax beside the tranquil fishpond. Terraced landscaping, thoughtfully placed stone and attractive hardscape walls add character throughout the grounds, creating inviting spaces to garden, explore and enjoy the changing seasons. Nearly every aspect of the home has been thoughtfully refreshed, offering the feel of a new home within an established mountain setting. Major improvements include a new roof, new heating and air-conditioning systems, new gutters, oversized new windows and doors, new flooring, fresh paint, stylish lighting, beautifully tiled bathrooms and premium appliances. The open kitchen, dining and living areas flow naturally together, creating a welcoming setting for everyday living and memorable gatherings. Abundant natural light fills the interior while peaceful views of the surrounding Western North Carolina mountains are framed from nearly every room. Two bedrooms are conveniently located on the main level. Upstairs, the private primary suite is joined by a spacious family room with a custom electric fireplace featuring adjustable flame colors and heat. A versatile loft offers additional space for a home office, creative studio, media room or guest retreat and opens directly onto a private forest balcony—an enchanting place to watch for deer and wild turkeys. The acreage offers room for additional gardens, chickens and the possibility of a charming mini farm. An oversized detached two-bay garage with fresh paint and flooring provides abundant space for vehicles, a workshop, outdoor equipment, hobbies and attic storage. No city taxes and very low HOA. Private without feeling isolated, this peaceful mountain retreat is a short drive from downtown Burnsville and approximately 30 minutes from Asheville, with skiing, hiking, waterfalls and the natural beauty of Western North Carolina within easy reach. Extensively updated and surrounded by an enchanting wooded landscape, this special property offers the mountain lifestyle you have been dreaming of.
