About This Home

Gentleman’s Farm Retreat less than 9 miles from the Cashiers, NC & Sapphire, NC main area.
Arrive home in the naturally air conditioned mountain elevation, gather fresh eggs from the chicken coop, and sip coffee by the stone fireplace in your private mountain farmstead. Rabbit Hutches, raise your own animals and vegies, farm to table small and easy to manage.
Discover a rare opportunity to own a custom-crafted 3BR/3BA mountain estate on 1.2 +/- acres of unrestricted land. Perfectly positioned just one hour from major interstates and the Asheville Airport, this property offers the freedom from HOAs and privacy of a gentleman’s farm with the convenience of modern living.
The Residence
Step inside to soaring cathedral ceilings, rustic locust tree posts, and artisan details throughout. The main-level primary suite opens to a private deck and features a spa-inspired shower with dual rain showers, body jets, and a Toto Bidet Washlet. A gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances, oversized island, gas range, and vintage bark cabinetry flows seamlessly into the grand family room with its stone fireplace and timber mantel. Upstairs, a guest ensuite, vaulted bonus room with balcony, loft sitting area, and a hidden cupola retreat create inviting spaces for family and friends.
The Grounds
A Porte co-chère entrance welcomes you with style, while the circle drive, detached utility room, and fiberoptic internet ensure everyday ease. An additional 1,800 sq ft dried-in structure is ready to be finished as a guest house, studio, or office. Outdoors, enjoy terraced gardens, fenced pastures for animals, chicken coop, water feature, and firepit. The property rests on the historic Montvale School site.
The Lifestyle
Minutes from state parks and waterfalls—and walking distance to three waterfalls—this one-of-a-kind gentleman’s farm offers endless opportunities for gardening, homesteading, or creating your dream mountain retreat. Easy out to 281 during winter!! Pop down to SC cheap gas and easy shopping.
