Some houses you tour and forget. This isn't one of them. Built in the Arts & Crafts tradition and finished like a showroom, this mountain home delivers year-round views, indoor-outdoor flow, and the kind of craftsmanship that's genuinely hard to find at any price point. The wraparound covered deck and custom lower patio make the mountains feel like your backyard — because they are. Inside, vaulted ceilings and walls of windows pull the scenery in. The stacked stone fireplace grounds the living room while the kitchen earns its keep — custom wood cabinetry, a handcrafted backsplash, and an island that actually fits people around it. The primary suite is its own retreat: barn door closet, dual vanities, tiled walk-in shower. A loft overhead works equally well as an office, studio, or spillover guest space. Downstairs functions as a fully independent level — family room, kitchenette, game area (pool table included!), bedroom, full bath, and its own entrance. Guests, rental income, or multigenerational living: the options are there. The garage runs workshop-sized. And all of it sits 25 minutes from Asheville. - See this one before someone else does!
