About this home

Perched on a hilltop overlooking sweeping valleys and layered long-range mountain views, this one-of-a-kind 23.05-acre property captures everything buyers are searching for in the mountains of Western North Carolina — privacy, usability, flexibility, and unforgettable scenery. Tucked away via a private paved driveway just off a state-maintained road, this exceptional west-of-Burnsville retreat offers the rare balance of seclusion and convenience, only minutes to Burnsville and approximately 30 minutes to Asheville. The custom-built 2BR/2BA main residence was thoughtfully designed to celebrate the surrounding landscape, with abundant windows and expansive wraparound decking that bring the outdoors in from nearly every room. At the heart of the home, the open great room stuns with a soaring cedar geodesic cathedral ceiling, warm tongue-and-groove wood finishes, rich wainscoting, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling native stone hearth creating an inviting focal point for gathering and entertaining alike. Natural light pours throughout the home while framing absolutely breathtaking year-round mountain views. The kitchen offers generous cabinetry with abundant prep space. Adjacent pantry and laundry spaces provide practicality without sacrificing flow. The primary suite features private deck access, a walk-in closet with built-ins, and ensuite bath with double vanities. A split-bedroom layout places the second bedroom and additional full bath privately for guests or family. Downstairs, the full drive-in basement garage offers extensive workshop, storage, studio, or expansion potential. Adding even more versatility, the detached carport building includes an upper-level 1BR/1BA studio apartment ideal for guests, rental income, creative space, home office, or multigenerational living. Below offers covered car/equipment storage for 3 additional vehicles with additional covered storage accessed from rear of building. The land itself is equally compelling — partially fenced pasture suitable for horses or cattle, multiple potential homesites, and gently rolling acreage offering endless opportunity for recreation, farming, expansion, or simply enjoying the peace and beauty of the mountains. A truly rare offering combining architectural character, usable acreage, guest accommodations, and extraordinary long-range views in a highly desirable area west of Burnsville.
