Completely move-in ready, this thoughtfully redesigned 1-acre retreat in Alexander offers bright mountain living with convenient access to both Weaverville and Asheville. Filled with natural light and overlooking curated gardens, the property blends elevated comfort with the peaceful rhythm of mountain life and homestead possibilities. From morning coffee on the screened porch to evenings gathered around the fire pit under the stars, every space invites connection to the surrounding beauty. A floor-to-ceiling renovation pairs refined finishes with design, featuring two new kitchens, new tiled baths, new decking and railing, and a private studio apartment with its own entrance—well suited for guests, multigenerational living, or income-producing opportunities. The main level features an open-concept layout with a custom kitchen, spacious dining areas, dedicated office space, and a serene primary suite with a spa-inspired bath. Designed for both daily living and easy entertaining, the interior opens seamlessly onto a screened porch and expansive deck with mountain views beyond the mature landscaping. Just outside, a thoughtfully curated botanical garden creates a tranquil outdoor retreat filled with seasonal blooms, birdsong, and natural beauty. The bright lower level features rare 8-foot ceilings, enhancing the sense of space while offering excellent flexibility for extended stays, private guest quarters, or homestay potential. Professionally designed landscaping, stone pathways, a fire pit area, and a fully fenced yard create an atmosphere that feels secluded and restorative. An electric gate, ample parking, workshop space, a storage shed, and an additional outbuilding with endless possibilities add even more versatility to the property. Located just 8 minutes from downtown Weaverville’s beloved restaurants, shops, galleries, parks, and everyday conveniences, with easy access to the future AdventHealth campus and all that Asheville has to offer, this turnkey retreat captures the warmth, versatility, and natural beauty that feels instantly like home.
