The space
🌾 Historic Farmstead Retreat w/ Hot Tub, Fire Pit & Mountain Views

Welcome to a peaceful farmhouse retreat set on a piece of Asheville’s living history. Surrounded by open meadows and rolling pasture, this relaxing escape offers the perfect balance of country tranquility and city convenience, just minutes from downtown Asheville.

Once an active produce farm in the 1970s, this land provided fresh fruits and vegetables to the local community for over 30 years. In the early 2000s, it took on a new purpose—growing potatoes for families in need and continuing its tradition of giving back.
Today the land still honors its self-sustaining roots. The surrounding fields are used to grow hay for local farmers, creating wide open views, fresh mountain air, and a peaceful setting that invites you to slow down and unwind.

Relax in the fenced Zen garden with bubbling fountain, soak in the private hot tub, or gather around the fire pit under the stars. Step beyond the fence to explore open fields, swing beneath the sky, and take in beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain views.
