| Over 2.5 Acres. Orchard. Adorable Home. Buildable Land. One Mile to Town. A rare private sanctuary and homestead—flexible, peaceful, and increasingly hard to find. Properties offering this unusual combination of usable land, privacy, and proximity to town rarely come to market. Set just one mile from Black Mountain, this just-over-2.5-acre R-8 property provides both what’s already established and room to grow. Approximately one acre is planted with orchards, gardens, tea plants, and lovely community gathering spaces. The remaining acreage is open, usable, and buildable, offering exceptional flexibility for expansion, additional structures, or future vision—while still preserving privacy. The character-rich 1930 home is light-filled and welcoming, with refinished hardwood floors, custom solid-wood doors, beamed ceilings, multiple fireplaces, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow to wraparound decks and gardens. The kitchen is designed for true farm-to-table living and everyday gathering. Recent improvements include a brand-new dual-fuel heat pump and furnace, bringing modern efficiency and year-round comfort to this timeless setting. Additional structures—including a charming cabin, greenhouse, and a classic two-story red barn with workshop and finished spaces—create rare versatility for guests, creative pursuits, or home-based work. The land itself feels special—quiet, grounded, and restorative. Many who visit remark about the sense of calm, presence and beauty that’s immediately felt here. Replicating this combination of location, usable land, zoning, and established infrastructure this close to town would be exceptionally difficult today. This is not a mass-market property. It’s for the buyer who recognizes rarity, values land and flexibility, and understands that places like this are disappearing. | Basic Information
