Epic one of a kind property! Tucked away on a private mountain setting just off of Hwy 9 in Black Mountain. The extraordinary custom-built home is a true work of art. Designed and constructed by a home builder, stone mason, and tile artist for his own family, the 2, 329 SF residence offers a 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a sunroom, and a distinctive bonus tower room filled with character and craftsmanship. Visitors have described it as one of the most unique homes they have ever experienced. It’s located just 1/4 mile from Earthaven Ecovillage, which is an incredible demonstration of community resilience. It’s less than 20 minutes to Old Fort, with a grocery store, bank, farm-to-table restaurants, cafes and bakeries, a Montessori school, library, Catawba Falls, mountain music and arts events, and extensive biking trails. And this amazing property is only about 25 minutes from Cheshire Village, and another 5 minutes from there to the great shops and restaurants of Black Mountain! Artistic details abound throughout, including custom stonework, exquisite tile artistry, stained glass accents, built-in bookshelves, custom cabinetry, hardwood floors, and thoughtfully designed living spaces. Modern comforts include new energy-efficient windows, new appliances, fiber optic internet, three mini-split systems, a Vermont Castings wood stove, large pantry, encapsulated crawl space with dehumidifiers, well water, septic, and grid power. Available with approximately 7 acres, the dynamic land is equally enchanting, featuring two small creeks, walking trails through the forest, mature gardens, a beautiful mosaic patio, a handcrafted stone sculpture grotto, and a unique mini-Stonehenge fire circle perfect for gatherings under the stars. Two versatile outbuildings provide additional functionality, including a workshop/garage with electricity and its own mini-split system that could easily be converted into a guest house, studio, or income-producing space. Offering exceptional privacy, artistic beauty, and a deep connection to nature, this one-of-a-kind mountain retreat is a rare opportunity to own a property where craftsmanship, creativity, and the natural world come together in perfect harmony.
