Tucked away in complete privacy just half a mile from High Vista's back entrance, this inviting mountain retreat offers quiet seclusion with everyday convenience—now with fiber optic internet available, so you can enjoy remote work or streaming without missing a beat. Surrounded by woods with seasonal winter views, the home features a spacious wraparound deck ideal for gatherings or simply enjoying the peaceful forest setting. The home is configured with four bedrooms (served by a three-bedroom septic system), offering flexibility for guests, office space, or hobbies. The main floor features the primary suite, a second bedroom and full bath, along with the kitchen, dining space, and a family room with a soaring post and beam ceiling and stone, gas fireplace. Upstairs you'll find another bedroom, a full bath, and a flexible loft, while the lower level includes a spacious guest suite along with the game room. The standout game room is ready for fun from day one—complete with a home cinema projector and eight-foot screen, seating, bar with a built-in beer tap and refrigerator, custom dart board, and an available brand new pool table. Whether hosting friends or enjoying a cozy night in, this space delivers. As an added bonus, a membership to the High Vista Amenities Association is included with the house purchase, providing access to the pool, tennis and pickleball courts, a neighborhood pub, and a full calendar of community events. The home is less than ten minutes from everyday essentials, including a new Publix, an Ingles and four local breweries.
High Vista, located between Mills River and Hendersonville, is a gated and golf-centered Mills River neighborhood with a mountain-foothill setting and winding, wooded roads. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the High Vista Clubhouse and golf course loop, where carts, practice greens, and porch seating set a steady, social pace. Architecture leans toward contemporary mountain homes and classic brick-and-stone builds with long driveways and tall tree cover. Trail-like lanes and rolling elevation shape daily routines around walks and rounds rather than storefront errands. For culture and a local pint, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. anchors nearby, while Bold Rock Mills River Cidery and Burntshirt Vineyards add tasting-room energy close to the gates.
