Inside the main house, designed for both everyday living and entertaining, you will find numerous updates throughout the 3,235 square feet dwelling. The heart of the house, a modern kitchen, features an 8-foot center island, custom cabinets, and quartz countertops. The large primary bedroom includes a completely remodeled bathroom that features marble throughout, a custom-made vanity, a large soaking tub, and a roomy walk-in shower.

The property features hiking trails throughout, including one that leads to the top of a ridge offering expansive views and camping opportunities. Enjoy apples and blueberries grown on this secluded property while watching ducks on the pond. A separate, updated 1-bedroom apartment adds outstanding flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, or potential rental income. Only 25 minutes from downtown Asheville, this truly unique property, offering space, privacy, versatility, and unforgettable outdoor features, making it a property you must see to appreciate.
