About this home

Cute Mills River mountain house, conveniently nestled between Asheville, Brevard and Hendersonville. Sitting on a large, flat, quiet and cleared lot, this cozy home has a great living room equipped with a functioning gas fireplace. Two new mini-splits keep the home warm in the winter and cool in the summer with great efficiency. Two outbuildings with electricity would make fantastic craft rooms, workshops or storage. Come visit and see all that can be yours at such a rare price point! Home is being sold "as is."
