Tucked away in the peaceful beauty of Western North Carolina, 274 Poverty Branch offers the kind of space, privacy, and possibility that’s getting harder to find. Set on nearly 9 acres, this 2022 built 2 bed / 2 bath home is designed for easy, one-level living with thoughtful finishes throughout—hardwood floors, stone countertops, a cozy gas fireplace, and vaulted ceilings that enhance the light and airy feel of the home.
Start your mornings on the covered front porch, soaking in the sunlight with a cup of coffee while listening to the birds, and end your evenings with the quiet that only this kind of setting can offer. The land itself invites you to dream a little bigger—plenty of room for gardening, or a homestead setup, and even a potential additional build site for future expansion or investment. A well-built shed adds extra functionality for tools, hobbies, or storage.
Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a mountain getaway, or a property with income potential, this one checks all the boxes.
Conveniently located just under 30 minutes to Asheville and approximately 15 minutes to Downtown Weaverville, 10 minutes to the big ivy trail head, you’ll enjoy the perfect balance of accessibility and seclusion—close to everything, yet surrounded by the natural beauty that makes WNC so special. Please no Drive bys, cannot see property from road.
