Originally built as a farmhouse, this property offers a thoughtful blend of rustic character and modern convenience. The main home features 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a large kitchen with two fireplaces that add warmth and charm. A barn door separates the kitchen and dining room, adding a rustic touch, while a dedicated study with built-in bookshelves and a light-filled sun porch provides flexible space for work or relaxation. Step outside to a wrap-around stamped concrete terrace supported by 21 stone columns - perfect for outdoor gatherings. Additional features include a 2-car garage and a basement for extra storage. The location is perfect: just 3 minutes to Etowah, 12 minutes to Brevard or DuPont State Forest, 15 minutes to Asheville Regional Airport, and 18 minutes to downtown Hendersonville. The Ecusta Trail is just 115 feet from the driveway, across Brevard Road, giving you easy access to miles of walking and biking trails. A separate one-story cottage adds versatility, offering a living and dining area, a full kitchen with bar seating, and a bathroom with a stacked washer and dryer. Behind the cottage, a detached studio-once used as a pottery space-features concrete floors, a deep sink, tongue-and-groove aspen ceiling, and wood-paneled walls. An open carport provides extra storage for vehicles, boats, or trailers. With no restrictions, this property offers flexibility for full-time living, short-term rentals, or a seasonal retreat. The combination of location, space, and setup makes it a rare find in the mountains. This listing can also be seen at MLS #4307479.
