About This Home

Mountain views, the soothing sounds of a babbling creek, and a tapestry of beautifully established plantings create a tranquil setting that is every bit as captivating as the home itself. Sip your morning coffee from the charming covered front porch, unwind on the rear deck, or simply enjoy the peaceful rhythm of a property that invites you to slow down and reconnect with nature.

Inside, timeless character is beautifully complemented by an interior thoughtfully reimagined for modern living. Vaulted ceilings and an open-concept floor plan create a bright, airy atmosphere, while expansive windows fill the home with natural light. The kitchen features classic white cabinetry, generous counter space, and stainless steel appliances, while the bath showcases a beautifully tiled walk-in shower and clean, contemporary finishes.

Whether you're searching for a full-time residence or a peaceful mountain getaway, this inviting home offers the perfect balance of refreshed interiors and an unforgettable natural setting. Located in the heart of the Hickory Nut Gorge, this home offers easy access to hiking, waterfalls, local restaurants, and the outdoor recreation that makes this corner of Western North Carolina so special, while remaining convenient to Asheville, Hendersonville, Chimney Rock, and Lake Lure.
