This property offers so many things increasingly hard to find. If you have been searching for a home with substance, character and a true sense of place, this property is your destination. Set in a peaceful farm setting of the mountains of WNC, this one level living home offers the kind of quality-over-quantity appeal that stands apart from newer, mass produced houses. This home was built in an era when quality materials, thoughtful construction and lasting craftsmanship mattered. Surrounded by the beauty and rhythm of the countryside, this property reflects the deep roots of community and a way of life grounded in tradition, hard work, and pride of ownership. Enjoy the perfect blend of rustic elegance and modern comfort with upgrades such as dual zoned HVAC units. Crafted with care and attention to detail, the home features locally sourced, indigenous materials throughout. Highlights include rare hardwoods, such as oak, walnut, extinct wormy chestnut, native marble and natural appalachian stone from the surrounding region, adding character and timeless beauty to every room and a seamless flow to your outside spaces. A home like this isn't about trends, it is about permanence, character and the kind of craftsmanship that lasts. Immaculately maintained inside and out. The home's current design of 4BR/3 baths, also offers excellent potential for caretaker quarters, multigenerational living, or private guest accommodations. With its spacious layout and full unfinished basement ready for expansion, the property lends itself well to creating a separate living area for a caretaker, extended family member, long term guest or even potential rental income, while still preserving privacy and functionality within the house. If you are drawn to the quiet life, the charm of a long established area, sitting on your front porch taking in all the sights and sounds of nature in the sunshine or on the back patio in the shade listening to the babbling creek below, owning not just a house but a home with character and integrity, this property is for you. Enjoy the best of both worlds with quick (less than 1 mile) access to I26, commuting and travel are easy and a short driving distance to Asheville Regional Airport, as well as other nearby destinations such as Johnson City, Burnsville, Boone, and Banner Elk. Outdoor and art enthusiast will enjoy the proximity to the year around exhibits and events. Schedule your showing today to come and experience this great property for yourself.
