About this home
A RARE opportunity to own a true Western North Carolina icon on beautiful, easy-to-build acreage, just minutes to downtown Columbus!! This distinguished family home—constructed with logs transported from a cabin in Tennessee—is steeped in local history and timeless character. Long celebrated as a gathering place for the community, the property spans 18.27+/- picturesque acres, with the option to purchase additional surrounding land. The 18.27-acre parcel is part of a 55-acre parcel that will be surveyed and divided prior to close. See MLS #4295084. Purchase the home with 4.5 acres. See MLS #4211548. Contact listing agents for details. Ideally located within walking distance of downtown Columbus and just minutes from I-26, this estate offers convenient access to Asheville, Greenville, SC, and three major airports—perfectly balancing historic appeal with modern accessibility. Step back in time and imagine the possibilities! This historic home features five fireplaces, a magnificent hand-laid rock chimney, a slate roof, and wormy chestnut details throughout, showcasing the masterful craftsmanship of a bygone era. The pastoral setting, combined with wooded privacy and sweeping grounds creates endless potential. Restore it as a grand private estate with ample surrounding acreage, design a multi-generational compound, build multiple rental units or create a communal living compound. Convenient access to city water and sewer make the options countless! (Tax records currently reflect 55 acres).
