Seller is motivated! Ideal location, peaceful country valley farm living in 'up and coming' Old Fort, just 25 min east of Asheville. Nothing can describe the sound of silence you'll experience as you sit on your deck surrounded by your very own private 30-acre forest, complete with mountain views, and stream. This one must be experienced in person to fully appreciate! This custom built, passive solar home is eco-friendly and energy-efficient. You'll experience unparalleled privacy and serenity without any steep mountain grades, nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains. Lots of space for hiking, gardening, or further homesite development. A large workshop, equipped with electricity and a Jotul wood-burning stove, can easily be converted into a guest house or artist studio. This is a very special, long-time family property first time listed publicly for sale.
