About this home

Tucked perfectly between Weaverville and Mars Hill, this 6-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers the perfect balance of privacy, space, and convenience on 5 beautiful acres of flat, usable land. A scenic drive along the river leads to the tree-lined driveway, setting the tone for a property that feels both peaceful and inviting. The land offers fenced yard area, mature shade trees, and expansive outdoor space ideal for gardening, homesteading, recreation, or simply enjoying the mountain setting.

The wraparound covered porch is the perfect spot to start the day with morning coffee. Inside, the main level features a newly updated kitchen, spacious primary suite, renovated primary bath, and new flooring throughout. The lower level provides additional flexibility with its own living space, bedroom ensuite, bonus room ideal for a craft studio or workshop, separate entry for multigenerational living, and a one-car garage. Upstairs, you’ll find four additional bedrooms and a full bath, offering plenty of room for a growing family, guests, or hobbies.

Located in a welcoming community, the property does include a formal shared road maintenance agreement among neighbors. Combining usable acreage, a functional layout, privacy, and close proximity to town, this home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy mountain living without sacrificing convenience.

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

Numbers are a directional estimate. Actual monthly cost varies by lender, credit, taxes assessed at closing, and insurance carrier. This is not a loan offer or pre-approval.
