6 Beds ⋅ 5 Baths ⋅ 4417141 MLS
Tucked away 40 minutes north of Asheville, this extraordinary 35-acre sanctuary at 1061 Indian Trail is a true Appalachian homestead rich with character and heritage. Having known only three owners throughout its history, the estate offers an irreplaceable sense of place, completely surrounded by the pristine, protected wilderness of Pisgah National Forest. Accessed via a scenic Forest Service gravel road, the land transitions from lush timber to roughly 10 cleared acres complete with an organic garden, mature muscadine vines, and producing blueberry bushes. The native wildlife creates an enchanting backdrop, with regular sightings of bald eagles, black bears, and rare fireflies. Flowing from above the property onto and through the land, Hampton Creek cascades down to a waterfall that can be heard right from the house before making its way to the private trout pond, which features a small dock with a ladder for easy swimming and kayaking access. The main residence is thoughtfully designed to showcase the idyllic surroundings. It features three bedrooms and three bathrooms, including main-floor bedrooms that look directly out over the calm waters of the pond. Two of the main-level bathrooms have been recently renovated, blending modern comfort with mountain charm. Below, the basement provides extra flexible space complete with a third full bathroom, a newly finished bonus room, and abundant storage space. The heart of the home extends outdoors to a sweeping, screened-in wraparound porch that captures the crisp mountain air, alongside a convenient attached single-car carport. Nearby, a historic root cellar built directly into the hillside offers a fascinating nod to traditional mountain living. A second home on the property—a light-filled guest cabin with a proven track record as a successful short-term rental—provides flexible living options or instant income potential. The cabin features a smart, two-story layout with an open-concept kitchen, living area, and half bath upstairs, while three bedrooms and a full bathroom rest quietly on the lower level. Its private porch sits nestled in the canopy, offering another elevated view of the trout pond and an additional equipment shed nearby to store farm or lawn gear. Beyond the property line, outdoor adventure is practically infinite. The iconic Appalachian Trail is located just a short distance away, while nearby Wolf Laurel and Hatley Point provide exceptional resort amenities, including golf, tennis, dining, and fitness facilities. Hatley Point also features a newly renovated lodge, winter skiing, and a new mountain bike park. Offering a rare combination of complete privacy, rich history, and modern recreational convenience, this legendary mountain retreat stands ready for its next chapter.
