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.

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. Seller proposes arranging a conservation easement collaboratively with buyer. 3D Tour - https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=m2HRcKnLbHp&brand=0

Back on the market... Buyer was not able to execute the contract. Septic Eval is good to 2029. 3 Bedroom. Property is fine. There is a kind of knowing that comes from the body before it reaches the mind. John Updike, in Hoeing, writes toward that truth—the slow, honest rhythm of work, the way land answers effort, the way attention itself becomes a form of prayer. The poem isn’t really about farming so much as it is about relationship: between hands and soil, time and patience, effort and reward. This land lives in that same conversation. Here, the ground is not asking to be conquered or corrected. It lies open and level, as if already prepared—inviting rather than demanding. The ease of the terrain is not an accident; it’s the result of years of care, of being worked and respected by a neighboring farm that understands the quiet intelligence of soil. You can feel it underfoot. This is ground that knows what it means to be useful, and also what it means to rest. The views stretch outward without effort. No climbing, no carving, no strain—just space unfolding naturally, the horizon meeting you where you stand. It’s the kind of openness that gives you room to breathe, room to think, room to imagine what life could look like if it weren’t rushed or crowded. And then there’s the creek. Not ornamental. Not seasonal. Not an afterthought. It moves with its own steady purpose, offering sound and motion and life to the land. Water like this doesn’t just decorate a property—it defines it. It draws wildlife, cools summer afternoons, and anchors the land in something timeless. Sit nearby long enough and you’ll notice how it recalibrates your sense of time, how conversations slow, how plans feel less urgent and more intentional. This property offers flexibility without chaos—rare ground that allows you to choose how you want to engage with it. Build a conventional home and settle in with permanence, confidence, and clarity. Or keep it recreational: pull in your camper, park with ease, and enjoy the land as it is, when you want it, without pressure or deadlines. The land doesn’t rush you. It never has. There’s also the very real potential for a hobby farm—one that doesn’t require heroic effort just to get started. The level ground, the history of cultivation nearby, the water, the openness—it’s all already here. This is land that remembers how to be worked and welcomes it again, if that’s what you choose. Like the act of hoeing in Updike’s poem, this place isn’t about spectacle. It’s about rhythm. About showing up. About letting effort be honest and reward be quiet. It’s about mornings that begin with mist over the creek and evenings that end with long shadows across open ground. It’s about land that doesn’t need to prove itself because it already knows what it is. Some properties shout. This one listens. And for the right person—the one who understands that stewardship can be both practical and poetic—it answers back.
