Private mountain. Spectacular views. The perfect place for a work-from-home lifestyle or a memorable sabbatical. Easy commute to Asheville: 25 minutes to downtown. Offered for rent is a unique and architecturally sophisticated four bedroom cottage on 27 acres in Asheville, NC. The setting is retreat-like and excellent for those wanting to reconnect with nature, themselves, their friends, or their family. It is beautifully furnished (partially, so there is room to add your own if you'd like) with non-toxic furniture, organic mattresses, a piano, and a fully stocked kitchen. The house sits on the side of Pinnacle Knob, a 4150-foot mountain in Buncombe County. It is intended to make you feel as if you are living outdoors, connected with nature, but with all the amenities of indoor living -- kind of like a treehouse with the mountain being the tree. The house is green and healthy-built and features reclaimed walnut floors, an 1890s Victorian staircase, historical lighting fixtures, and a collection of 100-year-old recycled doors. We place a premium on the importance of a healthy environment, with a HealthyBuilt certification, and pristine well-water. There is exceptional high-speed internet. The yard has organic apple trees and 15 blueberry bushes, which ripen and give you an abundance of anti-oxidants during June and July. There are spectacular views, sunlit rooms, and outdoor refuges. It is cool in the summer, magnificent in the fall and spring, and peaceful in the winter. The neighborhood valley has many farms selling fresh organic produce, local food and eggs. It is easy to commute to Asheville during the day and return home in the evening. The house is 25 minutes from downtown Asheville and 15 minutes from groceries and other amenities. Because the house is on the top of a mountain, an all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive vehicle is required. Because of its retreat-like setting, one has to like living in nature to feel comfortable renting this home. Asheville, NC has world-class restaurants, extensive outdoor recreational activities, arts and entertainment, Farmer's Markets, close-knit communities, and a popular, quaint downtown.
