Absolutely stunning 26-acre property in Arden’s picturesque Avery Creek. Welcome to Whippoorwill, an everyday escape or second-home retreat in the mountains. Its beautiful features include the fields that greet you, a running creek, four-stall barn, sports field, large fire pit, and picnic area. Its 4000+ SF historic log home has space for everyone with its five bedrooms, rec room, and ~500 SF screened-in porch for relaxing while you watch the wildlife. Property also includes two rustic cabins, with their own kitchenettes and baths, close to the main home. Bring your horses, gardening tools, lawn games, and hiking shoes, as this special place is a true gem of the Asheville area. Sellers’ family has loved this property since its purchase in 1962! No restrictions to seller’s knowledge, other than R-2 county zoning (buyer to verify). Property is about 20 min. to downtown Asheville and 30 minutes to Brevard. Come see this charming, private property for yourself!
