Description

“A true Western North Carolina legacy property—120.94 acres of protected beauty featuring springs, a waterfall, abundant wildlife, and sweeping views, centered around a one-of-a-kind custom home built to stand the test of time. Properties of this scale, privacy, and craftsmanship are rarely offered.” Accessed through a private electric gate, a gently sloping ¾-mile paved drive winds through mature timber to the homesite atop Little Mountain. The land is both usable and thoughtfully improved, featuring a creek, natural springs, and an established one-mile loop trail ideal for hiking or UTV access. A large equipment shed provides storage, and the property benefits from a timber tax exemption. Surveyed in 2025, the acreage reflects careful stewardship. Completed in 2023, the custom-built residence is perfectly positioned to capture what may be some of the finest views in the region, overlooking the surrounding mountains and French Broad River Valley. Offering approximately 3,847 square feet of heated living space, the home is complemented by exceptional outdoor living areas, including a 400-square-foot screened porch with vaulted ceilings, fireplace, and TV; a 400-square-foot covered patio with a second fireplace; and a grilling deck. Inside, quality and craftsmanship are evident throughout. Features include Sub-Zero appliances, gas cooktop, dual-fuel oven, walk-in pantry, horizontal gas fireplace, and a spacious three-car garage. The main level offers two bedrooms, two full baths, and a half bath, while the lower level includes two additional bedrooms, each with its own full bath. A Generac whole-home propane generator provides peace of mind. Extensive boulder hardscaping and professional landscaping enhance the setting. An additional 700 square feet of basement space offers flexibility for storage or future expansion. Despite its remarkable privacy, the property is conveniently located just 2.4 miles from Pisgah National Forest, 5.7 miles from downtown Brevard, 13.5 miles from Asheville Regional Airport, and within easy reach of DuPont State Recreational Forest, Hendersonville, and Gorges State Park. Whether enjoying the mountain breeze from the porch, gathering around the outdoor fireplaces, or exploring the trail system, this property offers a rare combination of scale, comfort, and livability. A truly exceptional opportunity to own one of Western North Carolina's most distinctive private estates.
