About this home

At the end of a quiet road in the heart of the Celo Community, this extraordinary 37-acre legacy property is bordered on two sides by the Pisgah National Forest and North Carolina Game Lands, offering an unparalleled sense of privacy, serenity and natural beauty at the foot of the Black Mountains. The land encompasses pristine hardwood cove forest, one of North Carolina’s most biodiverse ecosystems where nearly all the state’s medicinal plants naturally thrive. Combined with open fields, garden space, forested mountainsides, natural springs and distant mountain views, this property offers a rare blend of ecological significance and versatility for those seeking a mountain sanctuary. The updated A-frame home balances rustic charm with modern comfort, featuring an expansive glass wall, open-concept living and panoramic mountain views. Interior updates include hardwood floors, an updated bath and a modern kitchen. It is the ideal home to live in while you build your dream home and then it can become an ideal guest house or Airbnb. Complementing the main residence are several versatile outbuildings such as a two-car detached garage, a barn ideal for storage or restoration, an unheated studio space ideal for creative pursuits, an open-air pavilion and a tractor shed. Trails meander through untouched woodlands, and with direct access to Pisgah National Forest, this property is ideal for hiking, foraging, hunting and wildlife observation. Whether envisioned as a private mountain retreat, working homestead, hunting lodge or multi-home family compound, the property offers multiple homesites with expansion potential. Its garden spaces, established infrastructure and protected surroundings create a legacy opportunity for those drawn to a lifestyle defined by connection with nature. A short distance to Burnsville, Blue Ridge Parkway, Carolina Hemlocks and Mount Mitchell State Park, this is more than a property, it’s a way of life. A rare chance to own a legacy mountain tract in one of the sought-after natural settings in Western North Carolina.
