About this home

Escape to your own mountain sanctuary in the heart of Western North Carolina.

Located at the end of Kelse's Valley Drive, just minutes from Mars Hill and Burnsville, this beautifully maintained mountain home offers a peaceful setting on approximately 10 acres (to be finalized by a new survey prior to closing). Built in 2018, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home features 2,068 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space surrounded by mature landscaping, natural gardens, and the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Step onto the welcoming covered front porch and into a bright, vaulted living room filled with natural light, expansive windows, and a cozy wood-burning stove. Just beyond, the covered balcony provides an inviting place to enjoy your morning coffee while taking in the surrounding woods and gardens.

The kitchen is both warm and functional, featuring butcher block countertops, a center island, and a generous walk-in pantry. The spacious main-level primary suite enjoys abundant natural light and includes an oversized bathroom, walk-in closet, and conveniently located laundry area.

Downstairs, two additional bedrooms are separated by a comfortable family room that opens onto its own covered patio overlooking the fire pit and picnic area. You'll also find an oversized food storage room and a large mechanical/storage room, providing exceptional flexibility for hobbies, supplies, or homesteading.

The attached carport includes dedicated tool and garden storage, making it easy to care for the beautiful grounds. A special feature of this property is the stewardship it has received over the years: the seller states that no synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers have been applied to the land, making it especially appealing for buyers who appreciate naturally maintained gardens and environmentally conscious land care.

Whether you're looking for a year-round residence, a mountain getaway, or a homestead, this property offers beautiful surroundings, functional living spaces, and room to enjoy the outdoors.

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. Christy can introduce you to lenders she trusts.

Numbers are a directional estimate. Actual monthly cost varies by lender, credit, taxes assessed at closing, and insurance carrier. This is not a loan offer or pre-approval.
