About this home

Unique Western North Carolina investment opportunity featuring a 6+ acre riverfront compound with four separate buildings and six distinct living spaces, offering exceptional flexibility for events, retreats, short-term rentals, or multi-unit income. Ideally located between Hendersonville and Brevard, the property offers direct access to the French Broad River and connects to the popular Ecusta Trail, creating a rare combination of recreation, tourism, and business potential. The main residence serves as the centerpiece of the property with expansive gathering areas and a full kitchen ideal for hosting events, retreats, or group accommodations. The lower level of the main building features a fully equipped second kitchen, two bedrooms, and a large living space that functions perfectly as a separate rental unit, guest suite, or additional lodging for retreat guests. A second home on the property includes two separate one-bedroom living units with private entrances—one on the main level and another on the lower level—offering excellent flexibility for short-term rentals, extended stay guests, or staff housing. The third house includes a kitchen, living room, dining room, porch area with one and a half baths. Also has an extra-large garage and workshop space that could easily be converted into an event hall, studio, or creative gathering space for weddings, workshops, or corporate retreats. Additional improvements include a detached two-car garage with a one bedroom efficiency apartment, providing yet another rental or caretaker option. Outdoor amenities make this property especially attractive for destination gatherings and hospitality uses. The grounds feature two scenic ponds, a large gazebo ideal for ceremonies or outdoor events, a water feature, and over six acres of usable land with river access. The connection to the Ecusta Trail adds tremendous appeal for cyclists, outdoor enthusiasts, and visitors exploring the growing recreation corridor between Hendersonville and Brevard. With multiple structures, numerous lodging options, beautiful natural features, and no HOA restrictions, this property offers exceptional potential as a boutique event venue, retreat center, income-producing short-term rental compound, or private estate. All buildings currently use city water, but there is a well on the property.
