Property Description
Looking for a mountain home that offers privacy and connection without feeling isolated? Welcome to this beautifully crafted 4-bedroom, 3-bath home in Mountain Meadows Intentional Community in Mars Hill, NC. Set at the end of the road and surrounded by woods, this unique Green Built home offers a peaceful mountain setting, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a strong sense of community—all just 10 minutes from downtown Mars Hill and approximately 30 minutes from Asheville.
Certified Green Built in 2019, this custom home was designed with sustainability, comfort, and everyday functionality in mind. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers the potential for one-level living, with the primary suite, home office, half bath, kitchen, living, dining, and laundry all on the main level. An open layout, luxury vinyl plank flooring, warm wood trim, and a beautiful custom kitchen create an inviting atmosphere throughout.
The laundry room features floor-to-ceiling storage and a convenient doggy door leading to the fenced yard. Off the dining area, an elevated deck creates a true treehouse-in-the-woods experience—a peaceful place to enjoy morning coffee, entertain guests, or simply take in the surrounding nature.
The walkout lower level offers three additional bedrooms and a 3/4 bath, along with exceptional flexibility for guests, hobbies, a home office, recreation space, or an in-law suite. A kitchenette featuring a vintage 1955 Montgomery Ward sink, plus hot and cold running water just outside both sets of sliding glass doors, adds versatility to this level. The lower level is accessible from inside the home, exterior stairs, or a gravel path. A dedicated mechanical room provides additional storage.
Surrounded by mature woods, the property still receives ample light for established organic garden areas. Community amenities include a custom pavilion, walking paths, and an organic community garden, providing opportunities to connect with neighbors while enjoying the natural beauty of Western North Carolina.
The 2-car garage offers additional storage and its own electrical panel with a 220-volt outlet, providing flexibility for a kiln, workshop equipment, or electric vehicle charging. The end-of-road setting creates the feel of a private mountain retreat while remaining convenient to downtown Mars Hill, Weaverville, Marshall, Burnsville, and Asheville.
Approximately 10 minutes to downtown Mars Hill, 20 minutes to Weaverville, Marshall, and Burnsville, and 30 minutes to Asheville, this home offers an appealing combination of mountain living, community, privacy, and accessibility.
The property did not experience flooding or damage from Hurricane Helene. French Broad Electric provides electricity and high-speed internet service to the home, and both services were restored one day after the storm.
