Set at approximately 2,900 feet in elevation, this private mountain property offers 5.91 unrestricted acres with year-round, 135-degree long-range views overlooking the Etowah and Mills River Valleys. Located just 8 minutes from the Marathon gas station in Penrose and 15 minutes east of Walmart in Pisgah Forest, the property is also approximately 15 minutes from both DuPont State Forest and Pisgah National Forest, making it an ideal setting for a vacation home or weekend retreat.
A private gated entrance with electric keypad access sits at the bottom of the driveway, well below the home and out of sight, offering exceptional privacy. The nearly 1,300-square-foot main house features two bedrooms and two bathrooms, while the 900-square-foot detached, fully insulated garage provides a versatile office, lounge, workout, and wellness space with its own heating and cooling mini-split, infrared red-light sauna, full bathroom, and separate storage area. The seller is in the process of adding covered exterior space on both sides of the garage. Two standalone sheds provide additional storage or workshop space.
Approximately 3/4 acre of cleared, level land offers subdivision potential for an additional home with a separate driveway, well, and septic system, subject to applicable approvals. The property is zoned Henderson County R3, which allows one dwelling unit per 1.5 acres. The private well produces approximately 20 gallons per minute.
Outdoor amenities include an above-ground hot tub, outdoor flat-screen TV, and gas fireplace on the patio. Additional features include Starlink internet, underground power, a generator, generator compatibility, whole-home surge protection, and wiring for an electric vehicle charger in the garage. The home features a tankless propane water heater, while the garage is equipped with its own electric tankless water heater. Interior amenities include heated bathroom floors, smart bidet toilets, Panasonic Whisper fans, LG ThinQ washer and dryer appliances, and Sonos speakers throughout.
Offered fully furnished, including artwork, this turnkey property provides privacy, mountain views, flexible living and recreation space, and potential for a private retreat, expansion, or investment opportunity.
