Property Description
A private forest retreat awaits you just minutes from Mars Hill and Weaverville. Follow the scenic Ivy River to this modern Arts & Crafts home, nestled on 3.77 wooded acres with a circular driveway leading directly to the front door. Inside, the spacious, open main-level floor plan centers on a wood-burning stove and opens onto a large deck with a built-in fireplace—an ideal setting for relaxing or entertaining while surrounded by nature. A screened side porch offers the perfect place to enjoy an afternoon rain while listening to the chorus of songbirds. The home features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, with numerous recent improvements, including a brand-new HVAC system and Furnace, new deck boards, rebuilt primary shower, hydro seeded lawn, and more. The primary suite opens onto a private deck that places you at tree canopy level, creating an immersive forest experience.
