Two Homes Next Door — 28 & 50 Long Cove Rd, Candler, NC
Here's a rare find: two separate parcels, each with its own fully updated home, tucked into a peaceful setting that's still close to everything you need — 12 miles to downtown Asheville, 7.5 miles to the shops and restaurants along Haywood Rd in West Asheville, and just 3 miles to the grocery store.
28 Long Cove Rd — This 1,341 sq ft home got a full update in 2020 and sits on 0.286 acres. It's single-level living, with a primary bedroom and ensuite, a guest bedroom and a bonus room (with its own closet) connected by a Jack-and-Jill full bath. There's also a half bath off the living room for guests. The open living area has vaulted ceilings, a cozy reading nook, tons of natural light, and a wood stove that brings both ambiance and extra heat on cool nights. Wood floors run throughout, and the full basement gives you plenty of room for storage or a workshop. Covered porches out front and back mean you can enjoy the outdoors rain or shine.
50 Long Cove Rd — A cute, cozy cottage at 640 sq ft, also fully updated in 2020. Everything's on one level: 2 bedrooms, a full bath, and a laundry area. It's bright and welcoming, with a covered back porch that looks out over the open field behind the homes.
The owners also put real money into the important stuff — basement waterproofing, sump pumps, and structural repairs in both homes, all backed by a transferable warranty. The two properties share a well and septic system. Both homes have a 3-part water filtration system.
Out back, there's a big, sunny field with long-range mountain views — perfect if you've been dreaming of a garden, some chickens, or just wide-open space to spread out.
This setup works for a lot of different lifestyles: multigenerational living, a shared property for a group of friends, or a home base with built-in income potential from the second house. It's also a great fit if you've been thinking about homesteading. The two parcels may also be sold individually, offering flexibility for the right buyer.
Come see it for yourself — the setting is peaceful, and the possibilities are wide open. All furnishings negotiable.
