About the home

“A true Western North Carolina legacy property—120.94 acres of protected beauty featuring springs, a waterfall, abundant wildlife, and sweeping views, centered around a one-of-a-kind custom home designed to stand the test of time. Properties of this scale, privacy, and craftsmanship are rarely offered.” Accessed through a private electric gate, a gently sloping 3/4 of a mile paved drive winds through mature timber, gradually rising approximately 300 feet to the homesite atop Little Mountain. The land itself is both usable and thoughtfully improved, featuring a small creek, natural springs, and an established one-mile, 8-foot-wide loop trail—ideal for hiking or UTV access—providing easy enjoyment of nearly the entire property. A large equipment shed offers convenient storage, and the property benefits from a timber tax exemption. Surveyed in fall 2025, the acreage reflects careful stewardship and long-term vision. Completed in 2023, the custom-built residence is perfectly positioned to capture what may be some of the finest views in the area, overlooking the surrounding mountains and the French Broad River Valley. Offering approximately 3,847 square feet of heated living space, the home is complemented by thoughtfully designed outdoor living areas, including a 400-square-foot screened porch with vaulted ceilings, fireplace, and TV, a 400-square-foot covered patio with an additional fireplace, and a 170-square-foot open grilling deck—all designed to take full advantage of the property’s natural setting and year-round climate. Inside, the home reflects quality and intention throughout, with high-end finishes and features including Sub-Zero appliances, gas cooktop, walk-in pantry, dual fuel oven, horizontal gas fireplace, 2 bedrooms with 2 full baths and 1 half bath on the main level, and 2 bedrooms with full baths on the lower level. You will love the spacious attached 3 car garage. It also has a Generac whole-home propane generator. Extensive boulder hardscaping and professional landscaping further enhance the setting while maintaining a natural, mountain aesthetic. An additional 700 square feet of basement space provides flexibility for storage or future use. Despite its size and privacy, the property is remarkably accessible—located just 2.4 miles from Pisgah National Forest, 5.7 miles from downtown Brevard, 13.5 miles from Asheville Regional Airport, and within easy reach of DuPont State Recreational Forest, Hendersonville, and Gorges State Park. Whether enjoying the consistent mountain breeze from the porch, gathering around one of the outdoor fireplaces, or exploring the trail system with friends, this property offers a rare combination of scale, comfort, and livability. A truly exceptional opportunity to own one of the area’s most distinctive and private estates.
