About this home
This custom off-grid home is a truly one-of-a-kind mountain homestead, tucked into a secluded meadow on 23.98 acres of mixed woodland and partially fenced, flat pasture. Sunny, south-facing open areas offer excellent space for gardening, orchards, or small-scale farming. A confluence of two creeks borders walkable mountain forest with trails, mature trees, rocky outcroppings, and a spring that has never run dry. In the Bat Cave/Gerton area, where much of the land is steep, this amount of usable acreage is a rare find. Also located on the property are a historic cabin and a sturdy functioning barn with hayloft and stone silo, all over 100 years old, offering options for animals, storage, workshop space, or covered parking.
The 2126-square-foot passive solar home is filled with character, featuring more than 13 species of wood, including red oak, walnut, persimmon, and cherry, all locally sourced, much of it cut and milled by the builder. Built with true 2x6 framing, solid hardwood construction, custom trim and cabinetry, arched doorways, large timber beams, and built-in bookcases and benches, this home is an entirely unique work of craftsmanship. Gaze out over unbroken mountain views from the stone turret or from the upstairs bathroom’s clawfoot tub. An upstairs meditation room with miniature antique doors lights the floating stairway below through stained glass. This bermed-in home also includes a screened porch and three covered outdoor living areas.
Enjoy the peace and quiet of off-grid living with the radiant warmth of passive solar design, supplemented by a beautiful and efficient soapstone woodstove with glass viewing window. Water is heated by solar thermal with propane backup. The PV array is supported by meticulously maintained lithium batteries installed in 2022. The current owners designed the home, oversaw all construction and improvements, and can provide detailed plans for the home’s systems and construction.
Farmed and cherished for generations before the home was built in 2011, this property is centrally located in a neighborhood of helpful, highly skilled people who came together as a strong, self-sufficient community after hurricane Helene in 2024. Middle Fork Road, currently undergoing improvements, will again be fully paved up to the property. Accessible to Asheville, Hendersonville, and Black Mountain by a 35-minute drive, the property is also convenient to Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, and area hiking destinations.
The homesite itself is a private sanctuary of garden spaces, berries, flowering trees, native pollinator meadows, dark starry skies, and nights filled only with the calls of katydids and owls. Lovingly managed year after year, this nature lover's haven presents a rare opportunity to own a remarkable off-grid homestead in the mountains.
