A private retreat only minutes from downtown Asheville. With nearly 15 unrestricted, quiet acres, this property is a gem in South Asheville. The thoughtful timber framed home, with energy-saving passive solar features centered on an atrium, welcomes the setting and flows inside and out with nearly 700 square feet of deck and patio space. With high-speed Spectrum internet and wi-fi cell coverage, it's easy to stay connected. The whole-house generator ensures power regardless of the weather. Enjoy time outside at the stunning, very private pool and in the natural beauty of the land with walking paths and perfect mountain creek. The detached 3-car garage has power and heat, and was previously a wood shop. The gated, recently paved driveway gives year-round accessibility and security. Privacy, possibility AND so close to the shopping, restaurants and recreation that make Asheville famous around the world. The property is equally suited as a primary home, second home, or short-term rental.
