About this home
Welcome to 265 Idlewild, tucked within the gates of the Golden Valley Estates. Long range mountain views, vaulted two-story ceilings and wide-plank wood floors greet you on the main level, anchored by a stacked stone wood-burning fireplace visible and enjoyed from both the living room and the first-floor bedroom. A full bathroom on the main level plus an ensuite primary bedroom and additional third bedroom upstairs provide flexible living space. The kitchen features tongue-and-groove wood ceiling detail, tile flooring, and matte stainless Whirlpool appliances. The finished basement offers a bonus living area, additional flex-room/home office, a full bathroom, laundry area, plus an unfinished storage room with built-in workbench. Outside, this 6.6 acre property thrives as a certified wildlife habitat and pollinator garden with native perennials, medicinal herbs, fruit trees, and six raised planting beds. Enjoy East facing mountain views from the wraparound deck and screened porch. The lower level patio with hot tub overlooks the gently sloped yard, cleared and ready for play. An EV charger is already installed, and high-speed Spectrum fiber internet is readily available. Located 30 minutes from Marion, 45 minutes to Shelby, and one hour from Asheville, this is your peaceful rural retreat without the extremely remote conditions.
