This architecturally significant contemporary cottage is set in Bethel, one of the NC Mountains most beautiful areas. A true
masterpiece with a site-specific design. The architect, Chad Everhart, blended a rustic charm with a modern elegant twist. Nestled on almost 10 private acres, the home envelopes the residents giving them great views of the rolling valley area, while the top of
the property provides amazing long-range views that take your breath away.
The "Collective" picnic, porch, party space gives you a great place for hosting events with amazing views. The space includes a firepit and outhouse. The barn is in good shape and could easily be reimagined into something amazing. The house lives much larger than its size due to a wonderful design, tremendous natural light and vaulted ceilings. The unfinished basement area gives you a nice space for a workshop and storage. The basement area is heated too for year around use.
Recent outdoor kiln-shed would make a great sauna, art studio or kids playhouse.
The property is permitted for two homesites with shared well permit and septic. Perfect if someone wants to add another cottage. High end details include, skylights, Toto toilet, Fisher Paykel & Bosch. Don't miss the outdoor shower.
The property gives you an opportunity to explore nature on another level. Enjoy the walking paths, gardens, rock boulders, great vistas which all contribute to a very peaceful setting.
The cottage is more than a residence; it is an experience, offering a true blend of sophisticated design and natural serenity.
The home is an architectural gem in the North Carolina mountains.
