DREAM HOMESTEAD FOR SALE! - Have you been searching for the perfect mini-farm with mountain views, a like-new home, and over an acre to call your own? Look no further! Everything a homesteader could dream of is already in place — a huge fenced pasture, multiple raised garden beds, and an established orchard of grapevines, peach and apple trees, blueberries, and fig trees. The land has been actively worked, previously home to sheep, pigs, rabbits, chickens, geese, ducks, and more. A built-in chicken coop tucked under the porch, a rabbit hutch on the property, and a separate fenced side yard perfect for a dog run mean your animals are already accounted for. Open-use zoning adds exceptional flexibility, giving you the freedom to continue the farming tradition or make the land entirely your own. The 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is only 7 years old and feels like new — bright, open, and flooded with natural light. Freshly painted interiors and freshly stained porches invite you to slow down and soak in the mountain views. A dedicated mudroom and laundry room keep things practical, and a massive walk-in crawlspace offers nearly basement-level storage. Four dedicated parking spots and an adorable new playhouse round out this property's long list of thoughtful touches. All of this, just minutes from everything you need — 10 minutes to the grocery store and 15 minutes to Asheville — with all the peace and quiet of true country living.

Tucked into a peaceful rural valley with sweeping mountain views, this one-of-a-kind equestrian property on Dix Creek has been a cherished home for horses, chickens, dogs, cats, and the people who love them for over 30 years. The 4-stall barn is well-appointed with a tack room and hay loft, while a riding ring with new fencing gives you a dedicated space to ride and train — all set against a gorgeous mountain backdrop. The land is gently sloping and usable, offering the kind of valley acreage that's increasingly hard to find in Western NC. The cabin radiates the kind of warmth that can't be manufactured — original wood floors, solid wood paneling, and exposed beams give it an authentic 1970s character that feels grounded and inviting. Step out onto the covered back porch and deck and you're rewarded with sweeping mountain views and a symphony of birdsong — the kind of morning that makes you forget there's anywhere else to be. The main floor features a wheelchair-accessible bedroom and full bath with exterior ramp, making it both charming and practical. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and two updated bathrooms offer plenty of space for family and guests. The full unfinished basement provides generous storage today and real potential for a finished rec room, workshop, or entertainment space down the road. Properties like this — with the acreage, infrastructure, and setting to support a true homestead lifestyle — rarely come to market.

A Rare 41-Acre Legacy Property in Sandy Mush Valley Set in the quiet grandeur of the Appalachians, this 41-acre unrestricted property in Sandy Mush Valley offers one of Western North Carolina's finest development opportunities just minutes from Asheville and priced under $25,000/acre. Rolling topography, mature hardwoods, and a year-round creek create a stunning natural canvas. The front acre (411 Big Sandy Mush) is cleared and build-ready, with well and septic already in place and expansive mountain views ideal for a primary residence, luxury event space, or estate home. The remaining 40 acres, accessed via School Road beside the historic community center, offer room to bring a range of visions to life: a luxury cabin retreat and event venue, an agritourism destination, a multi-generational family compound, or an equestrian estate with plenty of room for a barn and arena. Surrounded by protected lands and working farms, the valley has long drawn those seeking open space, natural beauty, and a slower pace of life, which are qualities that make it well suited to hosting weddings, retreats, farm-to-table experiences, or a private family gathering place. The land is unrestricted, giving buyers the freedom to design without compromise (buyer to verify zoning, subdivision, and land-use potential for specific uses). The back 40 acres is currently enrolled in an agricultural tax deferral program via an active cattle lease, which the buyer may continue or terminate. A cistern on site reportedly serves the community center (buyer to verify), and a recorded easement grants a separate parcel access via School Road (see deed). Additional notes: cattle may be present during showings; owner resides on the front acre, so no drive-bys—contact your agent to schedule; see attachments for community center details. Contact your agent for full details on the tax deferral program, easements, and land-use potential.
