Tucked away in charming Black Mountain, this one-of-a-kind home offers convenient seclusion and timeless appeal, for a large family, a multi-generational living situation, or a large vacation rental. Each level boasts a private primary suite and large porches or private balconies are accessible from nearly every indoor living space. At the heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen—beautiful granite counters and backsplash, abundant natural light, and excellent workflow—flowing into a cozy Keeping Room with a floor-to-ceiling stone, wood-burning fireplace, and then into the most perfect sunroom surrounded by trees on three sides. The lower level, a proven short- and long-term rental, is sure to impress with a rec room (pool table, gas fireplace), 9-seat theater, full kitchen, and private screened porch. The driveway offers plenty of parking and easy access to the separate entry for the lower level. Every detail of this exceptional home is thoughtfully designed for comfort, warmth, and grace—perfect for large gatherings or quiet mornings alike.

R-LD
Low-Density Residential District
The R-LD Low-Density Residential District is primarily intended to provide locations for low-density residential and related-type development in areas where topographic or other constraints preclude intense urban development. These areas are not likely to have public water and sewer services available, and the minimum required lot area will be one acre unless additional land area is required for adequate sewage disposal. These are environmentally sensitive areas that are characterized by one or more of the following conditions: Steep slopes, fragile soils, or flooding.
Permitted uses
