Property Description

Tucked against Blue Ridge Parkway land, this 2.87-acre sanctuary offers the ultimate blend of total privacy, natural serenity, and ultimate convenience—just 10 minutes from daily shopping and 15 minutes from downtown Asheville. Direct trail access connects you straight to the NC Mountains-to-Sea Trail, surrounded by pristine wilderness and abundant wildlife, from wild turkeys and deer to black bears. The home harmonizes beautifully with its environment, featuring a natural wood exterior, light-filled open living space with vaulted ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and a cozy wood-burning stove. Unwind on the front or rear decks overlooking lush woods and a babbling tributary of Upper Grassy Branch Creek (with zero Helene flooding or damage). Complete with a sauna, woodshed, and a flexible bonus room with its own private exterior entrance—ideal for a home office, creative studio, or guest space—this turnkey mountain retreat is also versatile enough for short- or long-term rentals. Opportunity knocks—schedule your tour today!
