103 Duck Hope Drive, Hendersonville, NC

Situated on six private acres adjacent to a thousand-acre conservation tract, this 2019 Moss Creek custom residence offers a rare degree of permanence in its connection to the surrounding wilderness. The architecture prioritizes authentic timber-frame craftsmanship, defined by a great room with cathedral ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling stacked stone fireplace. Across 2,863 square feet, the five-bedroom layout incorporates a terrace level designed for wellness, featuring a secondary den and a dedicated sauna. The exterior environment is equally deliberate, offering a mile of private trails and deeded access to a twenty-eight-acre lake. Proximity to DuPont State Recreational Forest positions this property within a highly constrained submarket where inventory bordering protected land remains the primary driver of long-term value. For the buyer seeking a modern sanctuary that balances privacy with recreational utility, the home represents a refined departure from traditional mountain estates. Private viewings may be coordinated through Peters & Associates.
