About this home

There is something quietly compelling about a home that works with the landscape rather than against it. Tucked into the trees, this one-of-a-kind berm home offers a rare blend of privacy, efficiency, and connection to its natural surroundings. Set on more than 7 acres of mature hardwood forest, the property provides room to explore and enjoy the natural beauty of the landscape, including a creek tucked within the wooded acreage. Surrounded by a canopy of mature trees, the property feels hidden away from the world while remaining convenient to the outdoor recreation, mountain biking, hiking, and river adventures that make this area so desirable. Designed to be integrated into the hillside, the home creates a unique living experience that is both comfortable and distinctive. Warm wood walls and exposed beams bring character and texture to the interior, while large windows and skylights invite natural light into the living spaces. The open-concept design encourages gathering and conversation, anchored by a propane wood stove that adds warmth and ambiance throughout the seasons. Outside, a covered front porch overlooks a fenced courtyard, creating a welcoming outdoor living space that feels both private and functional. Beyond the home, the wooded acreage offers opportunities to wander, explore, and connect with nature. Above the home, the living roof and surrounding landscape further reinforce the property's connection to nature, while the wooded setting provides a peaceful backdrop in every direction. Whether you're seeking a primary residence, mountain retreat, artist's haven, or simply a home unlike anything else on the market, this property offers an opportunity to embrace a lifestyle defined by creativity, sustainability, and the beauty of Western North Carolina. Here, the home becomes part of the landscape, and the landscape becomes part of everyday life.
