A Once-in-a-Lifetime Mountain Estate Bordering Pisgah National Forest Privacy. History. Adventure. Possibilities. This is the kind of property that rarely becomes available. Ride out your own gate. This 14-acre equestrian estate borders Pisgah National Forest on three sides, opening directly onto thousands of acres of protected trail. No trailer, no trailhead, no hauling out. Paxton Creek runs year-round through the property, audible from the screened porch. One hour from Tryon International Equestrian Center. The facility is built to work. A three-stall barn with grain and tack room and full hay loft with overhang. A riding arena for lunging, training, schooling or use as a dry lot. Three fenced and cross-fenced pastures with a run-in shelter, watered by a natural freshwater spring capable of serving the barn. A 30' x 30' workshop with side overhang handles equipment, hay or a second rig, with RV parking on a 50-amp hookup and a generator hookup for the property. The log residence is engineered for permanence: a 10-foot Superior Walls foundation, a heated and cooled semi-finished basement for tack, training or recreation space, a new 3-ton heat pump (2025) and a Hot Blast wood furnace ducted throughout. Wide porches, mountain and water views, and the quiet of a property at the end of a private road. Flexible by design. Keep it as a private equestrian estate. Run it as a working homestead — pastures, chicken coop, historic blacksmith shop and spring already in place. Or build: a prepared site along the historic Wagon Trail commands 360-degree views of Old Fort Mountain and the ranges beyond. Underground utilities, well, septic, no HOA, publicly maintained road access.

There are mountain homes… and then there are mountain experiences! Perched high above the valley floor on 5.59 private acres and bordering Pisgah National Forest, this stunning retreat captures the kind of long range Blue Ridge Mountain views that people spend years searching for and rarely find. With protected forestland as your neighbor and breathtaking mountain vistas stretching to the horizon, you’ll enjoy a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and an unparalleled connection to the outdoors. From sunrise over the ridgelines to evenings gathered around the fire table beneath a canopy of stars, every inch of this property was designed to showcase the view. The main level welcomes you with soaring ceilings, a wall of windows, rich wood finishes, and an open-concept living area anchored by a stone fireplace. The mountains become part of the décor, filling the home with a constantly changing backdrop that can be enjoyed from nearly every gathering space. Comfort is enhanced year round by a highly efficient 4-zone heat pump system, allowing customized climate control throughout the home. Step outside to expansive covered and open air decking (approx 1800 sq ft) where you’ll find multiple areas for dining, entertaining, relaxing, and taking in the breathtaking scenery. Whether you’re soaking in the hot tub, sharing a bottle of wine by the fire pit, or enjoying coffee on the porch, the view is always center stage. Offering 5 functioning bedrooms, 3 full baths, and three levels of living space, the home comfortably accommodates family and guests. (Septic permit is for 4 bedrooms.) The lower level recreation room creates the perfect gathering spot for game nights and mountain getaways, while the private upper level primary suite offers a peaceful retreat at the end of the day.
