About this home

Motivated Seller. $25k total price reduction. Welcome to The Farm at Mills River — a thoughtfully designed luxury community where natural beauty, modern conveniences, and a true sense of place come together. This 1.14-acre homesite stands out as the last of its kind: a rare opportunity to build your dream home on a fully built-out, small quiet cul-de-sac neighboring the original 4200sf estate built in 1938, and situated far away from any active farming with aromatic manure stockpiles — ensuring future privacy, serenity, and freedom from neighboring agricultural practices that may affect lots nearby. 479 Nesbitt Drive homesite is blessed with potential mountain and easterly sunrise views and with a gently sloping mountain topography and easy build site makes it ideal for crafting a custom retreat that seamlessly integrates with the surrounding landscape. Enjoy peace of mind and practicality with city water, sewer, natural gas, and high-speed fiber-optic internet already in place — everything you need for modern mountain living. The Farm at Mills River combines tranquility and community in perfect balance. Wide, gently winding roads invite leisurely walks or bike rides, while thoughtfully designed community amenities encourage connection and relaxation. Features include a fishing and floating pond, small beach/picnic area, a pavilion with a stone fireplace, community garden, and a greenhouse — all designed to foster a sense of belonging and outdoor enjoyment. With reasonable HOA fees of $100 per month and sensible restrictions to protect your investment, this community provides an exceptional environment for upscale living without unnecessary complications. Ideally located just minutes from Asheville, Hendersonville, and the Asheville Regional Airport, The Farm at Mills River offers unmatched convenience to top-rated healthcare like Advent Health, shops, and restaurants like Sierra Nevada, Mills River Brewery, Burning Blush, Target, Lowes, Walmart and many more — all while maintaining the serenity of a mountain retreat.

This exceptional homesite truly offers something you won't find in the rest of the community or surrounding areas. Welcome home.
