About this home

True homesteaders' paradise nestled on a serene 30 acre parcel with a beautiful rocky stream and small waterfall, open spaces for gardening, wooded trails for exploring the mountainside and even a small cave. There are mature fruit trees on the property and a greenhouse for raising your veggie starts. Convert the utility shed into a brooder house and then move your poultry to the chicken coop by the stream. The steel building once housed livestock and could easily be converted back into stalls and dry hay storage. The home has fantastic bones and there is deferred maintenance, but you can live in the house while you make the repairs. The partially finished basement could expand your living space or become a separate apartment. The driveway is dirt/gravel and needs to be scrapped. The deck is soft in places and the railing are not to code. This property is simply bursting with endless potential and the right person will be able to envision their dreams here!

Come home to the privacy of 30 acres while having only a short, scenic 30 minute drive to Asheville. Enjoy the sounds of your own creek while taking in the views from the partially covered deck or take a hike on old logging roads that wind up the mountainside. This 3 bed 2 bath home offers a large open floor plan and master on main level. Kitchen has custom cabinets with plenty of storage. Both covered deck and kitchen have light fixtures salvaged from the historic Grove Park Inn. Though most of the home has been remodeled, it still leaves opportunity for making it your own. Basement is partially finished with an upcycled kitchen and bonus rooms. Choose between radiant floors or a woodburning furnace for cozy heat in colder months. A 1837 s.f. barn including hayloft has room for projects or livestock. Property offers plenty of south-facing gardening space and walnut, peach, apple, pear, and mulberry trees.
