This inspiring home and property will astound you!

The Fairview location affords a sense of privacy, yet quick access to the Blue Ridge Parkway, I-240, and Asheville services. Fairview's local grocery stores, restaurants, breweries, and quaint retail offerings make it far from secluded. The main-level great room with a cathedral ceiling, soaring stone fireplace, and desirable wood stove is a perfect gathering place for family and friends; the adjoining dining room and large kitchen round out the easy flow of the living space. The main level deck is partially covered and its location just off the great room and dining room will make entertaining a delight.

Privacy is assured with the second-level primary suite featuring an en-suite bathroom, exceptional closet space, and a private exterior stairway leading to the garden. On the lower level, a private apartment with a full bath and kitchenette is accessible from the interior stairwell as well as a separate exterior entrance, and it has its own secluded patio.

Over the garage is a bright and spacious studio that is waiting for its use as a home office, artist's retreat, home theater--convenient to the main house, yet ideal for maintaining separate privacy. Don't delay making a showing appointment for this warm and inviting property. It is a unique opportunity to own a piece of mountain beauty, boasting views, pasture land, and diverse living spaces--everything that speaks to a peaceful Western North Carolina lifestyle.
