Thirty-five minutes northwest of Asheville, this property sits in Little Sandy Mush, close enough for an easy trip into town, far enough for real privacy. Mountain views from every side of the house. No neighbors in sight. Clear night skies and fireflies in the pasture at dusk. The 2,300 square foot farmhouse is thoughtful in functional detail. Four zones of radiant floor heat run beneath polished concrete on the main level and tile in the bathrooms, backed by mini splits for extra heating and cooling and a cast-iron wood stove and wood-burning fireplace for colder nights.

A stone patio and wraparound deck tie the outside to the front porch, made for slow mornings and long evenings. Mature fruit trees are already established and bearing, and creeks run off the mountain. Level, expansive pastures for livestock. Wildlife is everywhere, deer and wild turkey moving through, birdsong from the treeline, box turtles, and salamanders along the creek banks, life at every turn. A trail loops along the field and up into the woods, light breaking through the canopy as the path climbs the mountainside. Up on the hill, a little studio with a loft, windows facing out over the land and just enough room for yoga, meditation, or an hour of quiet. Additional potential building sites are ready for a barn, a greenhouse, guest quarters, whatever comes next. A separate 600 square foot log cabin already stands ready as a workshop or studio. Bring your vision for creating a homestead, farm, retreat or just simplified life on this bountiful and beautiful acreage. Listed with just 20.75 acres at MLS 4408264.

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.
