About this home

This thoughtfully designed home is positioned perfectly on one of the finest view lots in all of Western NC. With a 4 bedroom layout, sleeping loft and 3 living areas, there is plenty of room for the entire family. Situated on over 12 acres, this home offers unparalleled views from nearly every room. The design includes ample covered outdoor space to enjoy the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Notable mountain peaks include Sassafras to the SW, Whiteside and Hogback to the West, Tennent and Devils Courthouse to the NW and Mt. Pisgah to the North. Inside you will find rustic accents blended flawlessly with modern updates. The floors are heart of pine and the fireplace is a Vermont Casting wood burning stove, capable of heating most of the home. This house was meticulously built, cared for and landscaped over the years. The vaulted ceilings provide plenty of natural light and the open floor plan is perfect for entertaining. Big Hill is bordered by Headwaters State Forest on two sides.
