### Agent Description
This unique homestead offers a rare blend of comfortable living, income potential, and truly distinctive outdoor amenities over almost 9 acres. Inside the main house, designed for both everyday living and entertaining, you will find numerous updates throughout the 3,235 square feet dwelling. The heart of the house, a modern kitchen, features an 8-foot center island, custom cabinets, and quartz countertops. The large primary bedroom includes a completely remodeled bathroom that features marble throughout, a custom-made vanity, a large soaking tub, and a roomy walk-in shower. Step outside from one of four doors to the new, expanded Trex back deck and enjoy sweeping views-an ideal setting for watching the sunrise with your morning coffee or evening gatherings. Downstairs, you will find a dedicated professional workshop-ideal for serious projects, hobbies, or a home-based business. The grounds are equally impressive, featuring a large fenced area perfect for pups, along with an extraordinary conifer garden that serves as a designated reference site with over 200 species. Adding to the property's one-of-a-kind appeal, you'll find a stocked pond, a barn that is ready for chickens, and a disc-golf course that winds over the creeks and through the woods. The property features hiking trails throughout, including one that leads to the top of a ridge offering expansive views and camping opportunities. Enjoy apples and blueberries grown on this secluded property while watching ducks on the pond. A separate, updated 1-bedroom apartment adds outstanding flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, or potential rental income. Only 25 minutes from downtown Asheville, this truly unique property, offering space, privacy, versatility, and unforgettable outdoor features, making it a property you must see to appreciate.
