Charming Black Mountain Farmhouse Captures Small-Town Character

102 Terry Estate

So, you say you’ve always dreamed of living in a lovely farmhouse in a small NC town? Well, look no further than 102 Terry Estate, a charming 102-year-old farmhouse with additional structures located in downtown Black Mountain. 102 Terry Estate

The 4-bedroom, 3-bath two-story home features hardwood floors, two fireplaces, and a remodeled kitchen. The deep front foyer opens to several gathering areas and ends with the staircase up to the second floor. This lovingly decorated home has numerous original features that preserve the original character of this home, constructed in 1916. With its covered front porch and back deck, there’s plenty of space to enjoy the charms of Black Mountain. 

In addition to the farmhouse, there are an additional four living spaces: an apartment in the main home, a lovely cottage, and a duplex. The structures are located on a 1.14 lot that backs up to the almost 90-acre campus of Montreat College Black Mountain. In addition, there’s a small vacant lot parcel that provides year-round mountain views. The proximity of this property allows for easy strolls to the greenway, the park, and downtown shops and restaurants. At the same time, the multiple structures provide the potential for both a residence as well as rental properties.

This beautiful farmhouse fits perfectly with the small-town charm of Black Mountain. To see other listings, please see the Greybeard Black Mountain listings website. For more information about 102 Terry Estate or any of Greybeard’s listings, please contact Greybeard Realty.

International Attention for Asheville

alt tag

As I watched the Williams sisters at the Fed Cup in Asheville a few weekends ago, I was struck by how Asheville seems to be gaining a lot of national and international attention of late. In addition to tennis, important events are upcoming in biking, equestrian showing, and glass sculpture.  Knowing the fine qualities of the western NC mountains, I cannot say that I’m surprised by all of this attention. It’s getting more difficult to keep our secret of this very special place.

The Fed Cup in Asheville is news unto itself, but it was particularly exciting as it marked Serena Williams’ first return to competitive tennis since the birth of her first child last autumn. While the match had been decided in favor of the US prior to her arrival on the court, it was still exciting to watch as Serena and Venus played doubles before a sold out crowd.

Next on tap is the opening of the “Chihuly at Biltmore” on May 17. Dale Chihuly’s large-scale glass sculptures, set up in historic Biltmore Gardens, includes special “after-dark” viewings that promise to be spectacular. The exhibit remains in place until October 7th so there’s ample time to take it all in. That same weekend, May 18-20, Haute Route, a European cycling event, comes to Asheville. More than 300 international riders will take to the streets, with each of the stages beginning and ending in Asheville.

In September, more international riders will come to the Asheville area, however, these riders will be on horseback. The FEI World Equestrian Games will settle into Tryon, about 45 minutes southeast of Asheville, from September 11-25. This event may welcome a half million people from around the world into the area. Competitions at this event include jumping, dressage, endurance, vaulting and reining.

A quick glance at these activities really does encapsulate what’s so special about Asheville and its environs. Sure the mountains are peaceful, the views are incredible, and the pace may be a little bit slower than some larger cities. But the activities and events illustrate the broad interests of the area and offer residents a chance to experience a truly cosmopolitan life. To see other upcoming events, please check out Greybeard Realty’s event calendar. Asheville is more than just a pretty place.
