About This Home

Seize the exceptional opportunity to own a piece of history! This well-constructed home, crafted from locally milled old growth oak, and locally sourced fieldstones, has stood the test of time and is now ready for its next chapter. Previously, it served as a 5BR, 4BA short-term rental making it an attractive investment property. Conveniently nestled in beautiful Bee Tree Valley, btwn Black Mtn and AVL, this property is a gem. The layout is tailor-made for multigenerational living, and/or entertaining, offering an abundance of indoor & outdoor spaces for gatherings. The main level boasts a primary suite for easy accessibility. Updates have been made to enhance the open floor plan, modernize the bathrooms, refinish the floors, and introduce new mechanical systems. These improvements include 2 HVAC systems, 2 hot water heaters, & 2 ovens, perfect for accommodating large parties. Step outdoors, and you'll find a welcoming firepit, and an al fresco dining area. With endless possibilities and profitable prospects, the Davidson Farmhouse is a rare and valuable investment opportunity!
