“The Pilgrim Homestead,” situated on 7.5 rolling acres, has been “home” for our family of 6 for 4.5 years, but it’s time to move west! We have an unending list of updates and remodels to make this homestead a piece of paradise! As you drive the short distance from all the amenities of life, it becomes an escape to a beautiful, quiet, and peaceful retreat. Neighbors are awesome and yet feel so distant as none are visible and rarely see them.
The home is listed as 3BR/2BA quaint ranch style home, but has several bonus rooms and a 1/2 basement. Mostly Hardwood and painted concrete floors, a charming fireplace, central heat/ AC (could use updating) and outdoor wood furnace with enough seasoned firewood for a couple years! Great tasting deep well tested yearly for our cottage kitchen certification, we were a part of the Mills River Farmers Market with sour dough, farm products, and hand crafts. There is also several springs on the property, and a shallow well that is great for watering the garden.
A touch of spice is a new log cabin built from trees off the property! Detached garage/ shop with lean-to, outdoor bathroom, and RV hookup. Near the end of a dead-end road with no through traffic, the acreage is partially wooded and the cleared section of the property features a private pond and creek.
Lots of amazing potential house sites with separate entrances.
Only 17 minutes from the Ashville airport and a short 20-40 min drive to unlimited outdoor adventures including hiking, fishing, Blue Ridge Parkway, waterfalls, and biking.
Please NO Drive-byes. Appointment required to view home and property.
Personal and business assets will be sold at a series of sales during May and June. Buyer would have first option to purchase items like: sawmill, logging equipment, chickens and coops, lawn and garden equipment, as well as shop tools.
$475,000 or best (or better) offer by June 20th. (Subject to seller approval).
The house is awesome, but can use additional touches to make it yours. Therefore it is being sold as-is and the seller will make no further repairs. Seller may consider owner carry with 1/2 or more down.
Located less than 20 mins to Hendersonville & Brevard, only 35 mins to Downtown Asheville.
