10 minutes to downtown Mars Hill! Green Built! Flexible Spaces! Abundant Windows! 446 Amanda Drive is a thoughtfully designed green-built home that blends artistic craftsmanship with everyday functionality—and is proudly certified at the Silver level by the Green Built Alliance, reflecting a commitment to energy efficiency, sustainability, and healthier living. This home is located in Mars Hill, NC and did not experience any flooding or damage from Hurricane Helene. French Broad Electric provides both electricity and high speed internet to this house – both of which were restored within days of the storm. The end of the road location offers the feel of a private retreat while remaining incredibly convenient: about 20 minutes to Weaverville, Marshall, or Burnsville. Inside, you’ll find abundant windows, luxury vinyl plank flooring, wood trim, and custom artistic tile work that adds character and originality throughout. At the heart of the home, a soapstone wood-burning stove creates a cozy, grounding focal point—perfect for crisp mountain mornings and relaxed evenings. The layout offers the potential for one-level living for comfort and peace of mind. While the home is permitted for a 2-bedroom septic, it lives expansively thanks to multiple flexible bonus spaces on the lower level—perfect for a home office, recreation room, art studio, or even an additional kitchen. Step outside and experience true mountain tranquility. Garden in the established beds in your yard, take a stroll through the neighborhood or simply relax and enjoy the sounds of nature. The detached 2-car garage is a standout feature—complete with a separate 220 outlet currently used for a kiln, making it an ideal workshop, studio, or storage space. Pet lovers will appreciate the fenced yard area and mudroom dog door for easy indoor-outdoor living. Additionally, the community pavilion is a great place for social gatherings and shared growth in the organic community gardens. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle designed for ease, creativity, and connection.
