A truly unique opportunity awaits the next owner of this exquisite 129 acre mountain estate, located 30 minutes from all that Asheville has to offer, and only ten minutes to Downtown Marshall. Nestled in an area of large tract legacy farms, the home offers panoramic long range views of pasture and pond, dense forest and Blue Ridge Mountain ridgelines, while providing state-of-the-art technology sought by today’s discerning buyers. A RARE FIND INDEED! Perched midrange on the property, the magnificent family home was completely rebuilt by the present owners in 2024. The thoughtful attention to detail in the reimagining of this home cannot be under-estimated. Entrance into the home draws the eye through an inviting contemporary living area and adjacent four season room to the views of the land’s Meadow/Pasture, Pond & Entrance, rendering a remarkable harmony between landscape and interiors of the home. The graciously designed living and dining areas blend seamlessly with the kitchen, a highly functional work of art, with abundant custom cabinetry and woodwork and a stunning quartzite-topped center island. The main level primary en-suite offers a flex ante room (office) and private deck. The lower level of the home, with a second large living area, boasts a wet bar and opens to a large screen porch with sweeping views of the terrain. Two bedrooms and a full bath also occupy this level. Trex decks surround three sides of the home. More than a home, this is a sanctuary. This extraordinary contemporary retreat offers a rare opportunity to experience a life of complete peace, privacy, and connection with nature. Wake each morning to the gentle chorus of songbirds, breathe in the fresh country air, and enjoy the tranquility that only a landscape this expansive can provide. As the day fades, spectacular sunsets give way to an unspoiled night sky where countless stars shine with breathtaking clarity—a nightly reminder of the beauty that surrounds you. Whether you're sipping coffee on the deck, exploring your own private acreage, or simply listening to the breeze through the trees, every moment here invites you to slow down and savor the serenity. Magical, peaceful, and wonderfully secluded, this is a home where the stresses of everyday life melt away. Properties that combine striking contemporary architecture with this level of natural beauty, privacy, and acreage are exceptionally rare. This is more than a destination—it's a lifestyle and a legacy waiting to be enjoyed. A second living space, the original homestead, is separated from the main residence. It has been reframed and reroofed and awaits interior buildout at buyer’s election. Plans are available to complete this structure as a guest home. Management of this tract of land benefits from the owner’s affiliation with EcoForesters, a non-profit professional forestry organization working with private owners to conserve and restore Appalachian forests. Details of this benefit to maintenance of the land are available for consideration. A review of the attached “Features” details this exceptional estate, which must be seen and experienced to capture the essence of this remarkable opportunity. It is my pleasure to arrange a visit to this spectacular estate for your buyers.
