About this home

Tucked away at the end of a quiet mountain road, this extraordinary 34+ acre estate in the heart of Avery County offers a rare blend of privacy, natural beauty, and thoughtfully curated mountain living. Bordering the pristine Pisgah National Forest and accompanied by the soothing waters of Little Horse Creek, the property feels like a nature preserve designed for both retreat and inspiration. The main residence, a beautifully rebuilt summer home, captures the relaxed elegance of the Blue Ridge Mountains, featuring two bedrooms, one-and-a-half baths, expansive decking, a screened porch, and inviting outdoor living spaces that embrace the surrounding mountain views and peaceful setting. Complementing the property is a restored log cabin currently operating as a successful short-term rental, offering guests an authentic mountain experience while providing excellent flexibility for income potential, guest accommodations, or multigenerational living. The grounds are truly enchanting. A striking Victorian-style glass greenhouse serves as both a functional growing space and architectural centerpiece, complete with a heated interior and adjoining office or studio space. Nearby, you’ll find fruit trees, established garden areas, grapevines, a wildflower meadow, and countless spaces to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the surrounding landscape. Little Horse Creek winds gracefully along the property boundary, offering cascading water, tranquil pools, and the calming soundtrack of flowing mountain water year-round. Just beyond the creek lies direct frontage with Pisgah National Forest, creating an unmatched sense of seclusion and immediate access to hiking, exploration, and outdoor recreation. Additional improvements include a workshop/tool building, RV pad with full hookups, a separately approved homesite with installed septic, and Frank Lloyd Wright inspired architectural plans available for a future workshop and home office/studio space. Whether envisioned as a secluded family compound, luxury mountain retreat, income-producing estate, or legacy property to be enjoyed for generations, this one-of-a-kind offering captures the very best of mountain living in the High Country of Newland.

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. John can introduce you to lenders he trusts.
