Notes
“Normally a property becomes interesting as you enter the door to the house, but this Mountain Estate captivates you upon arrival. Just a quick drive from downtown Asheville places you on 34 acres of private tranquility One of my favorite things to do is take a hike or ATV ride through the wooded trails to the cleared areas People flock to our area to find trails to enjoy; these are outside your doorstep.
The main home has all the natural light and functionality one desires - primary suite on main where you can literally enjoy the view of Mt. Pisgah from the pillow. The cabin has been upfitted with modern design and amenities yet the original logs remind you to honor the history of the space The current owners have thoughtfully designed the property to truly be a haven: solar array offsetting electric needs, boosted internet access, water throughout the gardening spaces just to name a few. It’s an incredible place and we are excited to share it with you!“
