Set in the heart of highly sought-after Beaverdam Valley, this four-bedroom, two-bath home comes with nearly four acres of woods, running streams, and close-range mountain views, all just minutes from downtown Asheville. Built in the 1940s and lovingly tended by the same family for decades, this single-level home is move-in ready, with custom woodwork throughout, abundant charm, and room to make the land your own. Inside, the spacious living room has a stone gas fireplace, generous windows to let the light in, black walnut floors, and a pair of antique doors repurposed as barn doors, complete with hand-carved detail and original hardware. The updated kitchen features expansive granite countertops, custom white oak and pecan cabinetry, black walnut trim, and a window over the sink. It opens to a dining area with built-in cabinets, room to seat a crowd, and a window looking out into the backyard. The mudroom off the kitchen is perfectly located by the back door and carport, and includes the laundry area plus ample storage. White oak and chestnut run through the hallway leading to the bedrooms, and two custom-built sliding barn doors serve the bathrooms. All four bedrooms have views of the yard and streams. The garage/outbuilding is currently set up as a workshop, with a second smaller building for outdoor storage. Step outside and the property opens up to a broad, level front yard, framed by lovely mature landscaping and rock outcroppings, with room for a garden, a fire pit, a gazebo, or a long table set for friends on a summer evening. From there, two trails wind back through the woods to the rear acreage, where a clearing surrounded by tall trees is ready for your vision: an outdoor entertaining space, an additional hobby or workshop structure, a peaceful retreat. Two streams run through the property, and the sound of moving water adds to the quiet of this special place. This is a home with real warmth, in a relaxing natural setting, yet you're still a short drive from the vibrant energy of Asheville's restaurants and shops downtown. Enjoy chasing sunsets with a view? Pack a picnic! You're only 10 minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway with its stunning overlooks and Craven Gap Trail. Potential development opportunity: RS-4 zoning permits up to six units within the city, and multiple building sites may offer flexibility for expansion, guest homes, or investment. Buyer to verify feasibility and the possibility of subdividing with the City of Asheville.

Two Homes Next Door — 28 & 50 Long Cove Rd, Candler, NC Here's a rare find: two separate parcels, each with its own fully updated home, tucked into a peaceful setting that's still close to everything you need — 12 miles to downtown Asheville, 7.5 miles to the shops and restaurants along Haywood Rd in West Asheville, and just 3 miles to the grocery store. 28 Long Cove Rd — This 1,341 sq ft home got a full update in 2020 and sits on 0.286 acres. It's single-level living, with a primary bedroom and ensuite, a guest bedroom and a bonus room (with its own closet) connected by a Jack-and-Jill full bath. There's also a half bath off the living room for guests. The open living area has vaulted ceilings, a cozy reading nook, tons of natural light, and a wood stove that brings both ambiance and extra heat on cool nights. Wood floors run throughout, and the full basement gives you plenty of room for storage or a workshop. Covered porches out front and back mean you can enjoy the outdoors rain or shine. 50 Long Cove Rd — A cute, cozy cottage at 640 sq ft, also fully updated in 2020. Everything's on one level: 2 bedrooms, a full bath, and a laundry area. It's bright and welcoming, with a covered back porch that looks out over the open field behind the homes. The owners also put real money into the important stuff — basement waterproofing, sump pumps, and structural repairs in both homes, all backed by a transferable warranty. The two properties share a well and septic system. Both homes have a 3-part water filtration system. Out back, there's a big, sunny field with long-range mountain views — perfect if you've been dreaming of a garden, some chickens, or just wide-open space to spread out. This setup works for a lot of different lifestyles: multigenerational living, a shared property for a group of friends, or a home base with built-in income potential from the second house. It's also a great fit if you've been thinking about homesteading. The two parcels may also be sold individually, offering flexibility for the right buyer. Come see it for yourself — the setting is peaceful, and the possibilities are wide open. Showings start Friday afternoon!
