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.

Tucked into 3.5 lush acres near downtown Cedar Mountain and DuPont State Recreational Forest, Katsura is far more than a two-bedroom, one-bath home—it is a truly one-of-a-kind mountain living property where art, hand-crafted architecture, gardens and water come together. The heart of the home is its extraordinary artist-crafted stonework. Intricate, hand-painted rock walls transform the interior into works of art, with flowing patterns, organic forms and incredible detail that make the home unlike anything else in the area. The home offers two bedrooms and one bath, a kitchen with a beautiful, vintage Crescent wood stove in great condition adding a tad of history to its modern appliance counterparts. Step outside on the wrap-around deck and Katsura becomes its own private retreat. At the center of the landscape is a peaceful pond with 20-year-old koi, surrounded by mature trees, artisan-built cascading swimming pools, flowers and established areas for gardens. A charming covered dock with a living earth roof creates a magical spot for morning coffee, reading, yoga, music and entertaining or simply watching the koi move through the water. The pond and surrounding landscape offer a constantly changing view throughout the year, allowing you to experience the charm of every season from the comfort of home. For gardeners, the property offers exceptionally rich soil, established outdoor growing areas and a greenhouse ready for extending the growing season. A separate work shed provides space for tools, gardening equipment, hobbies or creative projects. Another dedicated outbuilding serves as a private sauna and exercise area, creating a wellness space just steps from your back door. Despite its wonderfully secluded feeling, Katsura is conveniently located near the small-business heart of Cedar Mountain and minutes from the waterfalls, hiking and world-class mountain biking of DuPont State Recreational Forest. Truly one of a kind!!
