46 Perennial Ridge

Sunset views tucked away on 30 breathtaking acres in a truly special pocket of the mountains, experience the rare combination of complete seclusion with everyday convenience. This extraordinary property offers a level of privacy that's nearly impossible to find...Yet you're only 4.5 miles from both The Fresh Market in North Asheville and the Weaverville Publix. Just 9 miles from the Patton Ave-Clingman Ave. intersection and all of Asheville's offerings. If you haven't found the video yet, be sure to check at the end of Facts & Features. Cherished by the same owners for the past 42 years, this is more than a home—it's a mountain sanctuary thoughtfully shaped by decades of stewardship. (The 7/1/2021 sale in the price history was for a parcel of land cut from the original acreage which was sold to a neighbor) The moment you arrive, the outside world seems to disappear. Beautiful bird songs provide the soundtrack for the kitchen, while incredible natural light fills the home and frames the surrounding landscape. Excellent soil nourishes lovingly cultivated grounds as a living work of art, with lush perennial gardens offering color, texture, and beauty throughout the seasons. Every path, planting, and gathering space reflects decades of intention and care. Two streams flow through the property with one of them harnessed to gravity feed water to the yard and gardens. A spring provides gravity-fed water to the home. Step outside and discover a private trail system that meanders throughout the property, crosses a gentle stream, winds through mature woods, and gradually climbs to the top of the ridge. There, you will find your own private Sunset Summit with expansive views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and French Broad River Valley that stretch to the horizon. Thoughtfully placed benches and swings along the trail invite you to pause, soak in the long-range views and the sounds of nature along with the wildlife that calls this special place home. Inside, a substantial wood-burning stove is capable of heating the entire home, creating an inviting retreat in every season. Whether enjoying a quiet morning with the windows open to the sounds of the creek or watching the sun disappear over the mountains each evening, life here moves at a different pace. For those seeking flexibility, half the house has operated successfully as an Airbnb since 2014, making it equally suited as a full-time residence and an income-producing investment. This is the one-of-a-kind property you've been waiting for!
