$1,950,000

For nearly fifty years, this working farm has been a hidden masterpiece of the Blue Ridge Mountains, reached by a mile-long gravel drive that winds through open pasture, alongside creeks, and beneath towering hardwoods before finally opening to the home. And what a home it is. Custom-built in 1978, the home blends timeless architecture with a level of craftsmanship and character that’s difficult to replicate today. Nearly 2,500 square feet of living space, filled with soaring ceilings, oversized windows, natural stone, and remarkable natural light, gives the home a warmth that balances perfectly with its scale and craftsmanship. At the heart of the home is an enormous double-sided fireplace built from hand-selected local stone, anchoring two separate living areas. The layout was thoughtfully designed, with the primary suite positioned on the main level and two additional bedrooms with a full bath upstairs. Large windows throughout the home frame views of the surrounding farm and mountains in nearly every direction, while newer Pella windows along the northern side of the main level bring even more light into the living spaces. Solid-surface countertops, wide-plank hardwood floors, architectural shingles, a partial basement, an attached two-car garage, and a large rear deck complete the home beautifully. Outside, the estate unfolds across 139 acres of some of Western North Carolina’s most desirable landscape. Approximately 20 acres are established pastureland with partial fencing already in place, while the remainder of the property stretches through mature timber, trails, and multiple creeks flowing through the farm. Several potential building sites throughout the property offer exceptional long-range views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the potential for a family compound, event venue or investment. The farm remains highly functional as well, with a storage and implement barn, large metal garage/storage building, and tractor and hay equipment conveying with the sale. Certain furnishings inside the home will remain too. Properties like this are becoming increasingly rare — not simply because of the acreage, but because of the complete package. A truly custom home with architectural character. Privacy without isolation. Usable land. Water. Views. History. And a setting that feels every bit as special as the home itself. This is the kind of property families hold onto for generations.

And from the moment you pull into the drive, you feel it. When we say real estate is all about location, the setting of this home speaks for itself. Perched above a rolling valley with layer after layer of long-range mountain views, this nearly new home—completed at the end of 2024—was designed to take full advantage of its incredible surroundings. Whether it’s the soft morning light rising over the ridgelines or the quiet stillness that settles in at sunset, every part of this property invites you to pause, take a breath, and stay awhile. Step inside and the feeling continues. The main level is warm, open, and welcoming, with a living room centered around a beautiful stone gas fireplace—perfect for cool mountain evenings. The kitchen blends charm and function with granite countertops, a farmhouse sink, and gas range, while the dining area opens to a screened porch where you can enjoy the outdoors without ever leaving your seat.

It’s quiet here. Private. The kind of place where you can actually hear the breeze move through the trees. Practical features haven’t been overlooked either, with a whole-house generator, tankless water heater, generous parking, and a large storage space tucked beneath the garage and accessible from the downstairs living area—perfect for all the extras that come with mountain living. And while it feels like a world away, you’re still remarkably close to everything that makes this area special. The Blue Ridge Parkway is less than a mile away, Little Switzerland is just a short drive, and hiking trails, waterfalls, scenic overlooks, and countless Western North Carolina adventures are waiting nearby. Sellers just placed home on STR program and home is consistantly being rented.
