Beautiful rustic Maine Post and Beam home tucked among the trees on 2.6 acres between Asheville and Black Mountain! Built in 1984, this is the first time this unique property has been for sale. This home offers rustic white pine siding, approximately 1 acre fenced yard, plenty of flat parking, complete privacy, and seasonal mountain views from the covered porch. The home's walls, cabinets, and interior doors were milled from poplar trees from the property. The brick and stone fireplace is a true showpiece in the center of the home. There is also an unheated 2-story outbuilding, which is ideal for a workshop, rec space, home office, or storage space. Shady Rock Lane is a gated private drive, making this an ideal lock-and-leave vacation home. Zoning allows vacation rentals. The land is a rare combination of a usable yard, mixed hardwoods, and native perennials and shrubs. Unfinished heated basement with inside/outside access. An additional 2 acre lot is available. 4WD/AWD is needed.
