About this home
Welcome to Juniper Hill, a truly special piece of Western North Carolina history, offered to the market for the first time. Lovingly held by the same family for generations, this remarkable historic property is rich in character, stories, and original details. Set on approximately 3.2 beautiful acres with picturesque views toward Pisgah Mountain. Juniper Hill offers a rare combination of historic charm, natural beauty, acreage, and incredible potential just 8 miles from Asheville. The home features multiple porches, beautiful original architectural details, and two staircases, including the original front staircase in the entrance foyer, which has been lovingly and meticulously restored. Brand new hardwood floors on the main level beautifully complement the home's timeless cottagecore character. The main level offers a living room, dining room, and flexible additional space that could serve as an office, study, library, sitting room, or guest space. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bath. The property is served by city water and a three bedroom septic system; therefore, the MLS bedroom count is limited to three, while the flexible floor plan offers many possibilities for how the spaces may be used. The ~3.2 acre setting opens the door to exciting possibilities. Subject to zoning, approvals, and due diligence, the property could lend itself to a private estate, small farm, farmstead, gardens, boutique wedding or event venue, or potentially additional homes or subdivision. Location is exceptional, peaceful and scenic while remaining only a few miles from the vibrant Haywood Road corridor in West Asheville, with its beloved restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, shops, and local culture. Downtown Asheville, Biltmore, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the region's outdoor adventures are all within easy reach. Juniper Hill is more than a home. It is a piece of Asheville area history waiting for its next chapter. Per seller, no damage was incurred as a result of Hurricane Helene.
