You’ve heard of Asheville and Leicester, but have you heard of Sandy Mush Township? This area lies in the north western portion of Buncombe County and offers residents a rural lifestyle with modern conveniences. High speed internet is available. There is a strong sense of community here where neighbors help neighbors. Miles of farmland and mountain vistas awaits you. Meet a variety of farmers, from cattle and wildflowers, to CBD. 

Settled as a rural farming community circa 1800, the area is still known for beautiful views and plentiful farms while only being 35 minutes from Downtown Asheville.

Check out these beautiful venues and farms if you find yourself in the area:

Featured Listing:

40 Shook Cove Road
Leicester, NC 28748
$589,000

At the end of a quiet gravel road, where three mountains seem to hold hands around a lush valley, sits 40 Shook Cove Rd., a place that feels like you’ve arrived at the edge of the world. Tucked into the historic farming community of Big Sandy Mush, this postcard perfect valley remains largely untouched, still stewarded by original settler families. Sparkling creeks wind through rolling pastures and wildflower-filled meadows, while conserved mountain lands stretch beyond your reach, creating a rare sense of seclusion. Wildlife flourishes here, and the elevation brings refreshingly cool summer air and peaceful winter snowfalls. Set on Newfound Mountain at the end of the valley, this timber-frame cabin rests on a private, wooded tract surrounded by forest and seasonal mountain views. The setting offers remarkable privacy while remaining within easy reach of Asheville, Waynesville, and endless outdoor adventure.
