About This Home
As of January 2026Experience the best of modern mountain living in this farmhouse retreat, where timeless design meets everyday luxury. Thoughtfully crafted with wide-plank wood floors, soaring vaulted ceilings, and a dramatic stone fireplace, every detail blends sophistication with comfort. Designed for exceptional indoor and outdoor living, the home sits on an expansive 1.275-acre level lot, offering both privacy and connection to the beauty of Western North Carolina. At the heart of the home, the great room with vaulted ceilings flows seamlessly into the gourmet kitchen and out to the screened porch—perfect for effortless entertaining. The kitchen itself is a chef’s delight, with a large island, 48-inch gas cooktop with pot filler, beverage fridge, and custom cabinetry designed for both beauty and function. A formal dining room, versatile flex room with closet (currently a gym), half bath, and main-level laundry complete this level with convenience and style. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring vaulted ceilings, a two-sided fireplace, private deck, spa-inspired bath with soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, and a custom closet. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms and two full baths, including one ensuite, are complemented by a large bonus room, providing flexibility for family, guests, or hobbies. Every space has been thoughtfully designed to balance connection with privacy. Outdoor living shines with a large screened porch and a flagstone patio, ideal for evenings under the stars or weekends with friends. The fenced yard offers room for play, pets, or gardening, while the three-car garage ensures ample parking and storage. An additional shed adds versatility, and a whole-house generator provides year-round peace of mind. Located in Mills River, this home offers a rare combination of luxury, convenience, and mountain charm. With easy access to Hendersonville, Brevard, Pisgah National Forest, the Asheville Airport, and a full range of shopping and daily amenities, it’s equally suited as a full-time residence or a serene mountain retreat.
