About This Property
Charming Arts & Crafts home set on 3.77 private, wooded acres in desirable Mars Hill, just minutes from Asheville and downtown Mars Hill. Ideal as a primary residence or second home, this three-bedroom, 2.5-bath property offers warmth, character and room to grow, highlighted by the hand-crafted feel throughout the interior. The open floor plan connects the living room and efficient kitchen, creating a comfortable and functional space for everyday living and entertaining. A dedicated TV room provides a cozy retreat, while beautiful wood floors, and a welcoming woodstove add to the home’s inviting character. The kitchen features ample cabinetry and tile countertops, along with a convenient laundry and pantry area offering additional storage and functionality. The spacious primary suite is a standout, offering a comfortable and private retreat. Enjoy the peaceful natural setting from the inviting screened-in porch or gather year-round on the back deck featuring a wood-burning fireplace, ideal for entertaining or quiet evenings outdoors. Seasonal winter views include a picturesque view of a nearby pond, adding to the property’s natural appeal. The unfinished full basement offers excellent expansion potential and includes a functional craft area at base of the stairs, complete with built-in counters, a sink, additional lighting and a built-in electric wall heater, ideal for hobbies, projects or workspace needs. The property also offers ample room to build a two-car garage and an outbuilding. Conveniently near the Ivy River while not in a flood plain, this home combines privacy, flexibility and easy access, approximately 25 minutes to downtown Asheville, 15 minutes from Weaverville and 10 minutes to downtown Mars Hill. The house is about 15 minutes from the site of the new Advent Hospital to be built in Weaverville.
