for $650,000 with 4 bedrooms and 1 full bath. This 2,347 square foot home was built in 1912 on a lot size of 4.
Step back into a simpler time without sacrificing the opportunity to create something truly special. Nestled in the heart of the picturesque Sandy Mush Valley, this remarkably preserved 1912 farmhouse offers the rare chance to own an authentic piece of Western North Carolina history on 4 beautiful acres (subject to subdivision). Built by hand over a century ago, the home has been lovingly maintained and retains an incredible level of original craftsmanship. Rich hardwood floors, stunning beadboard walls and ceilings, original woodwork, and timeless architectural details showcase the quality of an era that's nearly impossible to replicate. The home offers over 2,300 square feet with four bedrooms, spacious gathering areas, a wood-burning fireplace, and a welcoming wraparound porch overlooking the rolling pastures of the valley and distant mountain views beyond. The sale includes the existing 0.7-acre homesite plus an additional 3.3-acre parcel, creating approximately 4 acres of gently rolling pasture. Whether you envision horses, cattle, gardening, a hobby farm, an additional homesite, or simply room to roam, the possibilities are exceptional. Located within the fertile Sandy Mush Valley, known for its scenic farmland, conservation efforts, and quiet rural character, the property may also offer future farmland conservation opportunities. Adding to the property's charm are several historic outbuildings, including a root cellar/storage building with electricity and loft space ready for your vision, along with the original spring house, smokehouse, and shed, along with its proximity to the neighboring Sandy Mush Community Center and the local Fire Department. The structures provide endless possibilities for workshops, studio space, storage, or the next chapter of a true homestead. Just 20-25 minutes from downtown Asheville, this is a rare opportunity to own a legacy property where history, craftsmanship, and the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains come together in one unforgettable setting..
