Some mountain properties have views, others offer water, usable land, or an easy drive to town. This one has all four and that combination is what makes it genuinely rare in Western North Carolina.

Approximately 20+/- acres of open, rolling pasture unfold beneath mountain views in every direction. A creek-fed pond of roughly 1.5 acres sits near the center, while more than 2,000 feet of Bolens Creek forms the south boundary with full water access. Enjoy quiet mornings on the covered porch as mist rises from the pond, and evenings filled with the sound of the creek, wildlife in the fields, and summer fireflies. Despite the peaceful setting, downtown Burnsville is only four minutes away, the grocery store is two minutes away, and Asheville is approximately forty minutes away.

At the center of the property is a custom timber frame home completed in 2024. Deep red cedar siding, a cupola, and a long covered front porch create a memorable exterior. Inside, cathedral tongue-and-groove pine ceilings, exposed timber posts and beams, oversized windows, and iron ring chandeliers create a bright, warm living space. The navy kitchen features a farmhouse apron sink, six-burner gas range, cedar sliding barn door, and walk-in pantry.

Designed with both comfort and quality in mind, the home includes no-VOC ECOS stains and finishes, Greenguard Gold-certified flooring, spray foam insulation, whole-home water filtration, a whole-home generator, tankless water heater, underground 1,000-gallon propane tank, and Charter high-speed fiber.

The home offers three bedrooms, one full bath, and one half bath. The primary suite includes a premium stone soaking tub and walk-in closet. The lower level includes an oversized bedroom with tall ceilings and a large walk-in closet, a second bedroom, and a spacious flex room ideal for homeschooling, an office, studio, or playroom. The rear covered porch overlooks the pond and pastures and includes two infrared heaters for year-round enjoyment.

For equestrian or homestead use, the property is truly turnkey. Connected to the home is a fully finished, insulated barn with six European-style stalls, Nelson automatic waterers, heated wash bay, generous tack room, Dutch doors to pasture, and a picture window overlooking the stall aisle from the living area. The land is fenced and cross-fenced with in-ground pasture waterers, run-in shelters, and frost-free hydrants. An established orchard includes 27 fruit trees, including apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, plums, and apricots. The organically managed homestead also includes an enclosed raised-bed garden, two chicken coops with solar automatic doors, garden shed, children’s playscape, and covered sandbox.

A substantial pole barn provides a concrete-floored main building, enclosed lean-tos, three overhead doors including a 16-foot RV-height door, conditioned flex rooms, workshop, spacious loft, and 220V service. In a scenic spot above the pond, a separate 16-by-24 schoolhouse is heated, cooled, and filled with windows, offering flexible space for a homeschool room, office, studio, or guest retreat.

This is a rare property that ends the compromise. The views without isolation. The land without the impracticality. The privacy without the long drive to town. Whether your vision is horses, homesteading, room to breathe, or simply waking up to the Blue Ridge every morning, it was built with intention and obvious love, and it shows even better in person than in photographs.
