Nestled on 1.12 acres in Stradley Mountain Park, a stones throw from Bent Creek Experimental Forest and the NC Arboretum, this charming 1977 ranch offers the kind of outdoor lifestyle that’s hard to find this close to Asheville. The grounds are the real story here. A thriving edible landscape greets you at every turn, established fruit trees, blueberry bushes, strawberry patches, and a grape arbor make this property as productive as it is beautiful. Kids will never want to come inside, thanks to a play structure tucked into the wooded back acreage. When the sun goes down, gather everyone around the fire pit for the kind of evenings that make memories. Stone pathways wind through the landscaped terrain, and benches nestled among the trees invite you to slow down and take it all in. The 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home itself is move-in ready, with a fully finished walkout basement, fireplace, screened porch, and multiple decks that blur the line between indoors and out. A detached garage with shop space and a 2-car carport round out a property that works as hard as it plays.
