About this home

Thirty-five minutes northwest of Asheville, this property sits in Little Sandy Mush, close enough for an easy trip into town, far enough for real privacy. Mountain views from every side of the house. No neighbors in sight. Clear night skies and fireflies in the pasture at dusk. The 2,300 square foot farmhouse is thoughtful in functional detail. Four zones of radiant floor heat run beneath polished concrete on the main level and tile in the bathrooms, backed by mini splits for extra heating and cooling and a cast-iron wood stove and wood-burning fireplace for colder nights. The kitchen was designed around custom cabinetry, built for cooking with the herbs and vegetables grown on the property. A stone patio and wraparound deck tie the outside to the front porch, made for slow mornings and long evenings. Mature fruit trees are already established and bearing, and creeks run off the mountain. Level, expansive pastures for livestock. Wildlife is everywhere, deer and wild turkey moving through, birdsong from the treeline, box turtles, and salamanders along the creek banks, life at every turn. A trail loops along the field and up into the woods, light breaking through the canopy as the path climbs the mountainside. Up on the hill, a little studio with a loft, windows facing out over the land and just enough room for yoga, meditation, or an hour of quiet. Additional potential building sites are ready for a barn, a greenhouse, guest quarters, whatever comes next. A separate 600 square foot log cabin already stands ready as a workshop or studio. Bring your vision for creating a homestead, farm, retreat or just simplified life on this bountiful and beautiful acreage. Also listed with an additional 3 acre parcel MLS 4412867

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.
