Property Description

Riddle Me This! A Little Sanctuary up on the ridge, where winter opens the trees and mountain views quietly reveal themselves. Here sits a humble hideaway waiting for its next chapter. She isn’t polished, but it is peaceful, private, and full of possibility. A 2-bedroom, 2-bath with a setting that invites your imagination. Morning light filters through the trees. Evenings settle in with stillness. This is the kind of place where time slows and vision matters more than perfection. There are no rental restrictions, offering flexibility for personal use or future income. The property is served by shared spring water, adding to its off-grid, mountain-sanctuary vibe. With thoughtful updates, this could become a cozy full-time residence, a weekend retreat, or a rental tucked just above it all. Location brings the best of both worlds, secluded yet connected. 15 minutes west to Asheville. 13 minutes east to Black Mountain. 3 minutes to Warren Wilson College. 10 minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway. 15 minutes to the Biltmore House. This is a place for someone who sees beyond the surface, who values quiet, proximity to nature, and the satisfaction of bringing new life to a hidden gem. Sold as-is. Vision required. No damage from Helene.
