About the home

This is the kind of mountain property buyers wait years to find—significant acreage, a true guest house, year-round views, and close proximity to town—all without the isolation or inconvenience typically associated with rural Western North Carolina. Set on approximately 12 acres just five minutes from downtown Burnsville and within easy access to Asheville, shopping, healthcare, and the Asheville Regional Airport, this property offers the freedom of land ownership with the practicality of a location that supports everyday life. Positioned at a comfortable higher elevation, the home benefits from cooler summer temperatures and long-range Blue Ridge Mountain views, without steep roads or difficult access. The setting is unmistakably special. A private stream, pond, and integrated water features run through the property, creating a sense of calm and permanence that enhances both the views and the experience of arriving home. This is not a parcel carved from a hillside—it is usable, intentional acreage that invites exploration, relaxation, and long-term enjoyment. The main residence is designed for how people actually live in the mountains. Three generous bedroom suites, multiple living areas, and warm wood finishes create a home that feels substantial yet welcoming. Over 3,000 square feet of covered and open decking expands the living space outdoors, ideal for entertaining, quiet mornings, and evenings framed by mountain light. The great room serves as the heart of the home, featuring soaring ceilings and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace that opens seamlessly to the dining area and spacious kitchen, all oriented toward the views. A detached guest house elevates this property into a rare category. Thoughtfully updated and entirely private, it provides true flexibility—perfect for extended stays, multigenerational living, a dedicated work-from-home environment, or hosting without compromise. Properties offering a separate guest residence this close to town are increasingly difficult to replace. Add in the private deck and it's utterly irreplaceable! A pristine oversized two-car garage with workshop space and an upstairs bonus room adds further utility and future potential, whether for storage, hobbies, or additional finished space. Private, accessible, and exceptionally well-balanced, this property stands apart in today’s market. It delivers acreage, views, guest accommodations, and proximity in one cohesive offering—an increasingly rare combination for buyers seeking a refined mountain lifestyle near Asheville and the heart of Western North Carolina.
