Welcome to Alinear, a modern dream home. This home has everything you need and nothing you don't. The owners designed this spacious open home with a purposefully small footprint. Showcasing the mountain view with myriad windows, the design relies on intersecting "A" frame roof lines, taking inspiration from architects Massimo Gnocchi and Paolo Danesi's Mountain Refuge Home. The design goal was a mix of an Alpine refuge with a Scandinavian interior, thus the birch walls and minimalist furnishings. Simple and beautiful. Enjoy fabulous views of Bartram Ridge rockface and Tessentee Valley. Walk out the door for hikes, or take a quick drive in your fully charged EV to zip lines, tubing, roller coaster rides, golf, or into town. Furnished with exceptions of artwork, books, and personal items.

Eighty seven acres and over 1,800 feet of river frontage. Long range mountain views that change with every season. Land like this, forest and meadow, protected, and still full of possibility, rarely comes up for sale in the Blue Ridge Mountains. This is the kind of property that gets bought once and held for generations. This is land built for a legacy retreat, an equestrian estate, or a small conservation minded community, with paved road access and just minutes to downtown Franklin. Asheville and Atlanta are both an easy drive, close enough for regular trips, far enough that this still feels like a retreat. It's the rare tract with room to build a lasting homeplace, with space to expand over time. Fifteen acres of open, manicured pasture roll out below the tree line, ready for horses, hay, or development with a view in every direction. Another twenty five acres of former pastureland have grown into young forest, layered with color and texture, while established woodlands climb the ridges with trails already cut through them for hiking and wildlife watching. The Little Tennessee River runs along the edge of the property, protected by a conservation easement that still allows grazing, crops, hiking trails, a canoe or kayak launch, and even a covered picnic gazebo, so the working, recreational character of the land stays fully intact for whoever owns it next. A separate state backed easement protects several streams on the property, where active restoration work is already underway, adding lasting ecological value at no cost to the owner. Few properties offer this much frontage, this much usable ground, and this level of protection all in one place. It's a rare foundation for whatever comes next, whether that's a homeplace, a working farm, or land held simply for the sake of holding it.
