Luxury Mountain Home in the gated Homestead at Mills River — a private 1.5-story residence set on a wooded homesite, with an additional 23 acres available. Offering over 4,000 heated square feet above grade, plus a heated basement, this custom home by AR Homes delivers refined mountain living in one of Western North Carolina’s premier private communities.
Thoughtfully designed, the home blends architectural detail, spacious interiors, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living. The main level features a primary suite with walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath with heated floors. The great room showcases a coffered ceiling, stone fireplace, and a retractable glass wall that opens seamlessly to the back deck—creating a true indoor-outdoor experience.
The chef’s kitchen is appointed with custom cabinetry, stainless appliances, and a large walk-in pantry with built-in shelving and drawers. Oversized, fully integrated refrigerator and freezer columns are paneled to match the cabinetry for a seamless, high-end finish. A formal dining room, powder room, mud/drop zone, and main-level laundry complete the space.
Designed for year-round enjoyment, the outdoor living area includes a covered deck with retractable screens, retractable porch swings, built-in natural gas grilling, and an outdoor gas fireplace. A flagstone firepit area and fenced backyard enhance both privacy and usability.
Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms each offer en-suite baths and walk-in closets, along with a loft/flex space, media room, and access to substantial unfinished storage. A finished bonus room over the garage and a second laundry room add flexibility and convenience.
The home also features a wine room, multiple wet bars, and a rare dual laundry setup with both main-level and upper-level laundry rooms. A private office/den includes built-in under-counter dog crate space and a pet door with direct access to the fenced yard.
Recent upgrades include a whole-house water filtration and reverse osmosis system, fully encapsulated crawlspace with dehumidification system, and two tankless water heaters. A whole-house generator (excluding oven and dryer) provides added peace of mind.
Additional highlights include natural gas service, conditioned storage space below the deck, and a newly installed greenhouse—offering a unique lifestyle and gardening opportunity.
Located within the gated Homestead at Mills River, residents enjoy private roads, wooded surroundings, abundant wildlife, and exclusive access to a 10+ acre riverfront clubhouse along the Mills River—ideal for gatherings, fishing, and outdoor recreation. Conveniently positioned near Asheville, Hendersonville, Brevard, and just minutes to the regional airport.
A rare opportunity exists to purchase an additional 23 adjoining acres outside the HOA with no restrictions, offering potential for a private estate, family compound, equestrian use, or future investment. Access is available via ROW easement from South Mills River Road.
