This remarkable mountaintop property, featuring a home perched on a bluff 320 feet above the French Broad River, is the perfect mixture of quiet, private mountain living and ease of access to Asheville. With over 55 acres to roam, hike and enjoy, distant vistas of the Blue Ridge for a view, the 2,765-acre Sandy Mush Game Lands directly across the river, and a riverside access park at your doorstep, you can still be in Asheville in 25 minutes. The solid, well-maintained passive solar home has great potential for upgrading and customizing. The property will be forever protected by a conservation easement, providing a large, private forest for exclusive exploration and recreation by the owner. An excellent private roadway (with shared maintenance costs between three parties) and rustic barn round out this exceptional opportunity for an Appalachian retreat.
