About This Home

878 Garren Creek Road offers the rare combination of peaceful creekside living and the confidence of a home that was not damaged during Hurricane Helene. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated over the past 10 years while the sellers lived here full time, the property reflects true pride of ownership. In 2025, the NC DOT constructed a retaining wall on a portion of the rear property slope prior to repaving Garren Creek Road this fall.

Discover the beauty of creekside living at 878 Garren Creek Road, a thoughtfully updated mountain cottage resting on 2.24 acres with more than 300 feet of frontage on both sides of Garren Creek. Surrounded by native landscaping, waterfalls, and the sounds of three creeks, this unique property offers privacy, charm, and natural beauty just minutes from Asheville. Designed for comfortable one-level living, the home features 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, hardwood floors, custom trim work, and abundant built-in storage. The living room showcases a native stone fireplace with custom shelving, while the remodeled kitchen offers granite countertops, a pantry, and updated appliances, including a dishwasher and an induction range. The finished basement provides additional flexible living space with a Jøtul propane stove, recessed lighting, and oversized barn doors. A detached garage with its own HVAC system and electrical panel offers endless possibilities for a studio, workshop, office, or guest space. Enjoy the outdoors from the Trex deck overlooking the creek or the covered flagstone patio below. Recent improvements include updated HVAC systems, plumbing components, a 200-amp electrical service, radon mitigation, a metal roof, and extensive landscaping. A rare opportunity to enjoy a peaceful mountain setting with modern updates and room for relaxing, creating, and exploring.
