About the home

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this extraordinary 15+ acre estate offers an unmatched blend of privacy, natural beauty, and limitless potential. Backing directly up to the pristine expanses of the Pisgah National Forest, this property serves as your private gateway to endless hiking, wildlife, and wilderness adventure. The crown jewel of the estate is a magnificent, large unfinished cement log cabin framed by towering peaks. Built with uncompromising standards using all high-quality appointments and materials, this residence awaits your final interior touches—offering a rare partially finished canvas to design your ultimate mountain sanctuary. The main residence features a spacious floor plan with eight total rooms, including three well-proportioned bedrooms and a grand, open-concept large living room designed for effortless entertaining and cozy mountain evenings. Positioned to capture jaw-dropping vistas of the Black Mountain Range, large, strategically placed windows frame these iconic peaks from nearly every room in the house—even the bathroom windows. Additionally, an expansive unfinished basement runs the full length of the home with convenient exterior entries. This versatile space is primed to be transformed into additional luxurious living quarters, a dream workshop, a home gym, or a creative studio. This rare offering goes far beyond a single home, featuring two exceptional outbuildings that add incredible versatility and value. There is a spacious, heavy-duty detached two-car garage featuring a partially finished studio apartment above it, which is ideal for a private guest suite, caretaker's quarters, or a rental income opportunity. Furthermore, the property includes an original "gate house," a charming two-bedroom, one-bath older home that once served as the main homestead on the property. Oozing with rustic character and quaint appeal, it is perfect for visiting family, artists, or as a rental cottage. The estate highlights 15+ private acres directly bordering the protected Pisgah National Forest, premium cement log construction paired with top-tier building materials for exceptional durability, and unobstructed views of Mount Mitchell and the Black Mountain Range. It offers exceptional multi-generational living or income potential with the detached apartment and historic gate house, all while maintaining a secluded mountain atmosphere close to local amenities in Burnsville and Spruce Pine. Ideally positioned for the best of both worlds, this property places you just over an hour from the vibrant cultural, culinary, and entertainment hubs of Asheville, Boone, and Blowing Rock, while keeping you worlds away from the noise. Come home to ultimate privacy where evenings are defined by sweeping mountain silhouettes and completely unobstructed night skies glowing with a million brilliant stars.
