About this home
A One-of-a-Kind Private Mountain Retreat on 40 Acres Tucked into a private mountain cove and surrounded by beautiful ridgelines, this custom-built 2021 home offers an extraordinary combination of privacy, modern luxury, acreage, and convenience to Asheville. Situated on approximately 40 acres, the property feels like your own private mountain sanctuary, with abundant wildlife, professionally landscaped grounds, a charming spring-fed pond, and private trails winding through the property, including a trail leading to breathtaking mountain views at approximately 3,000 feet. The thoughtfully designed home features 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a spacious loft, and inviting indoor and outdoor living spaces. The stunning great room showcases soaring 24-foot tongue-and-groove wood ceilings, creating a dramatic sense of openness while adding warmth and rustic elegance. Quality craftsmanship is evident throughout, with custom Amish cabinetry, quartz countertops, COREtec luxury vinyl plank flooring, stainless steel smart appliances, an induction cooktop, automatic window blinds, and Alexa-enabled smart-home features with Lutron switches. The two-car garage includes a convenient dog-washing station, perfect for pet owners and outdoor enthusiasts. The primary suite provides a peaceful retreat with a jetted tub, while a high-efficiency built-in wood stove adds warmth and character to the home. The finished lower level features a separate private suite complete with its own bathroom, kitchenette, private entry and dedicated washer and dryer. This versatile living space is ideal for extended family or visiting guests. It also offers potential for rental income. Outdoor living is just as impressive. Relax on the screened porch, soak in the hot tub, gather around the outdoor wood-burning fireplace, or enjoy the firepit while taking in gorgeous mountain views. An expansive 80' x 80' open grassy field provides a wonderful space for outdoor sports, recreation, games, or exercising dogs. With 40 acres of privacy and natural beauty, this property offers endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. For RV enthusiasts, this property truly stands apart. The oversized RV parking area features 50-amp electrical service and its own dedicated RV dump tank, completely separate from the home’s septic system. This thoughtfully designed setup provides exceptional convenience for motorhome owners. A separate, fully insulated hobby house with electricity, heating, and air conditioning provides flexible space for a home office, art studio, workshop, or personal retreat. An additional storage shed offers even more room for tools, equipment, and recreational gear. Despite its exceptionally private setting, the property offers convenient access to Asheville and surrounding communities. French Broad fiber-optic internet provides modern connectivity, making this peaceful mountain retreat equally appealing for remote work or everyday living.
