An exceptional opportunity to own a truly one of a kind custom home offering remarkable privacy, architectural character, and even the potential for hydroelectric power. Set on a gorgeous unrestricted parcel near some of the area’s most impressive high end homes, this property is anything but ordinary. The dramatic great room alone is worth the visit, with soaring space, distinctive design, and the kind of character that simply cannot be replicated in a cookie cutter home. Throughout, modern design blends beautifully with warm farmhouse influences to create a home that feels creative, soulful, and inviting. The basement includes a spacious workshop that is especially well suited for artists, craftspeople, makers, or anyone looking for dedicated studio or project space. With unrestricted land and a relaxed, live and let live atmosphere in the surrounding neighborhood, this is a property that offers unusual freedom to create, explore, and truly make it your own. Private and peaceful, yet approximately 35 minutes from downtown Asheville, this is a rare opportunity for buyers seeking space, individuality, inspiration, and a setting that feels worlds away from the ordinary. The photos simply cannot capture the scale, setting, or feeling of this property. It is the kind of home that needs to be experienced in person. The house is larger than it appears - call for details! Schedule your private showing today.

Tucked away 40 minutes north of Asheville, this extraordinary 35-acre sanctuary at 1061 Indian Trail is a true Appalachian homestead rich with character and heritage. Having known only three owners throughout its history, the estate offers an irreplaceable sense of place, completely surrounded by the pristine, protected wilderness of Pisgah National Forest. Accessed via a scenic Forest Service gravel road, the land transitions from lush timber to roughly 10 cleared acres complete with an organic garden, mature muscadine vines, and producing blueberry bushes. The native wildlife creates an enchanting backdrop, with regular sightings of bald eagles, black bears, and rare fireflies. Flowing from above the property onto and through the land, Hampton Creek cascades down to a waterfall that can be heard right from the house before making its way to the private trout pond, which features a small dock with a ladder for easy swimming and kayaking access. The main residence is thoughtfully designed to showcase the idyllic surroundings. It features three bedrooms and three bathrooms, including main-floor bedrooms that look directly out over the calm waters of the pond. Two of the main-level bathrooms have been recently renovated, blending modern comfort with mountain charm. Below, the basement provides extra flexible space complete with a third full bathroom, a newly finished bonus room, and abundant storage space. The heart of the home extends outdoors to a sweeping, screened-in wraparound porch that captures the crisp mountain air, alongside a convenient attached single-car carport. Nearby, a historic root cellar built directly into the hillside offers a fascinating nod to traditional mountain living. A second home on the property—a light-filled guest cabin with a proven track record as a successful short-term rental—provides flexible living options or instant income potential. The cabin features a smart, two-story layout with an open-concept kitchen, living area, and half bath upstairs, while three bedrooms and a full bathroom rest quietly on the lower level. Its private porch sits nestled in the canopy, offering another elevated view of the trout pond and an additional equipment shed nearby to store farm or lawn gear. Beyond the property line, outdoor adventure is practically infinite. The iconic Appalachian Trail is located just a short distance away, while nearby Wolf Laurel and Hatley Point provide exceptional resort amenities, including golf, tennis, dining, and fitness facilities. Hatley Point also features a newly renovated lodge, winter skiing, and a new mountain bike park. Offering a rare combination of complete privacy, rich history, and modern recreational convenience, this legendary mountain retreat stands ready for its next chapter.

This one-of-a-kind compound of luxurious, eclectic residential dwellings straddles a waterfall and commands a draw anchored by a rambunctious mountain stream, all within minutes of Flat Rock, Hendersonville and Champion Hills. The rambling homes on site are carefully situated on the hillside contours and front on bold Perry Creek which, at the entrance to the main house, actually runs underneath the front deck before falling away in a cascade that tumbles down the draw and runs past an open, park-like area below the houses. Each of the three houses has a distinct character, ranging from American farmhouse to sleek modern, with a magical fairytale-style cottage extending a comfortable porch out over the creek. Inside, the homes are marked by rustic vintage luxury, with hardwood floors and gourmet kitchens. Modern bathrooms feature tile, marble, and porcelain surfaces accented by hand-picked rustic fixtures, free-standing luxury tubs and glassed-in showers. Custom windows include floor-to-ceiling panels, sliding glass doors, skylights and banks of clerestory. Outside, living spaces range from open flagstone courtyards contained by river rock walls and a large, flat pea-gravel dance floor/gaming area to several cozy and intimate dining areas and a terraced firepit. Wandering trails and a bridge make for easy access to the stream and creek-side leisure areas. This property is genuinely unique and special, and requires a personal visit to understand the complex interaction between the natural water, rock, and forest outside; the landforms and setting of the homes, decks and outdoor living spaces; and the curated interior appointments that all combine to elevate this property to a higher level of comfort, relaxation, and ease of living.

Back-up Offers welcome. A TRULY MAGICAL RETREAT: This is, quite simply, one of the most magical properties I have ever experienced, where the outside world seems to fall away. What began as a small yet elegant mountain home built in 1951 was transformed some 40 years later when a brilliant botanist discovered “Flat Rock” and began creating an extraordinary private sanctuary. With an artist’s eye and a botanist’s knowledge, he designed gardens connected by meandering pathways, dancing creeks, waterfalls and serene koi ponds. More than 30 varieties of Japanese maples join dozens of native and hybrid specimens beneath soaring mature trees providing the perfect balance of sunlight and shade. Everywhere you wander, there is another discovery. Pathways of wood, stone and earth wind through boulder gardens, across creeks, beside waterfalls and into quiet hidden spaces. Open and covered decks offer peaceful places to disappear with a book, enjoy morning coffee or listen to the water as sunlight dances through the canopy. The creeks are alive, singing through the gardens and tumbling over approximately a dozen natural waterfalls into peaceful pools and ponds. The Great Room, sunroom, kitchen, bedrooms and decks are surrounded by this extraordinary natural beauty, allowing the gardens and mountain landscape to become part of the home itself. THE HOME IS JUST AS SPECIAL: Indoors, the botanist and woodworker spared no detail. Stone fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, warm natural materials, a gourmet kitchen, formal dining room and inviting gathering spaces create the character of an elegant mountain lodge while preserving the charm of the original residence. Although served by a four-bedroom septic system, the home offers six bedrooms plus three additional bunk beds, offering wonderful flexibility for family and guests. With no known restrictive covenants, possibilities include a private family compound, mountain retreat, destination property or, subject to applicable approvals, a distinctive lodging or hospitality concept. All furnishings are negotiable. EXTRAORDINARY WORKSHOP WITH POTENTIAL 2ND LIVING QUARTERS: An accomplished woodworker, the previous owner built an impressive 2,500-square-foot workshop with more possibilities. A separate rear gravel driveway brings you to a luscious back yard , bordered by a cascading creek with raised gardens, a fire-pit and a chicken coop. It provides main-level access to the masterfully finished and heated 1250 SF with a half bath (easily expanded to a luxurious full bath), pine walls and vaulted ceilings open to a 565 SF covered and open deck with beautiful views of the gardens, ponds, waterfalls, towering hemlocks, oaks and the Great Smokey Mountains. I will leave that wonderfully quiet space to your imagination. The unfinished lower level offers additional flexibility and is heated by a wood-burning stove and propane wall unit.AND THEN THERE IS THE ADJOINING LOT: The adjoining parcel continues the magic, bordered by creeks, mature trees and cleared areas. A separate gated, natural driveway leads to a 40' x 16' pole shed, installed in 2006 for an RV, with ample turnaround space. This mostly level parcel offers possibilities for recreation, gardens, outdoor amenities, overflow parking or future uses subject to applicable approvals. Altogether, the property offers more than 5,600 square feet of heated space, extraordinary gardens, waterfalls, creeks, mountain views, multiple outdoor living areas, workshop space and room to dream. Numerous updates include HVAC systems, windows, roofs, crawlspace encapsulation, stone skirting and more; a comprehensive list of improvements and botanical specimens is included in the attachments. This is not simply a mountain home. IT IS A SANCTUARY—an artist’s retreat, a natural playground and, above all, a transformative garden lovingly cultivated for decades. There are places you appreciate when you see them—and then there are places you feel. This is one does it all!
