*Serene 5-Acre Storybook A-Frame Retreat – Where Country Dreams Come True*
Welcome to your own slice of paradise — a peaceful 5-acre property where privacy, nature, and possibility come together in perfect harmony. Tucked away in a quiet rural setting, this storybook A-frame home offers the ideal blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. Whether your dream is a mini farm, a flower sanctuary, or simply a tranquil country retreat, this property gives you the freedom to live your vision. With no restrictions, you can bring your chickens, pigs, donkeys, or other animals and create the life you’ve always wanted.
The land itself is a sanctuary — open clearings bordered by mature trees and colorful gardens provide beauty, serenity, and connection to nature. The layout offers endless opportunity for gardening, small livestock, outdoor entertaining, or simply relaxing under wide, peaceful skies. This property is truly a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the rhythm of the seasons.
Inside, the open-concept A-frame design is warm and inviting, with a southwest-facing orientation that fills the home with natural light. The spacious living area flows into the kitchen and dining spaces, enhanced by refinished hardwood floors, granite countertops, and fresh interior paint (2024). French doors open to sweeping views of the acreage, creating a perfect backdrop for peaceful mornings and golden sunsets. A metal roof ensures long-term durability, while a whole-house generator and included window treatments provide comfort and convenience year-round.
Updates Completed: Entire interior painted (2024), sunroom addition (2023), new carpet in bedroom and luxury vinyl plank in loft and bathroom (2023), hardwood floors refinished on main level (2023), French doors and energy-efficient windows (2022), granite countertops (2022), and a carport addition (2022).
Upstairs, the loft offers flexibility for a home office, meditation area, yoga studio, or artist’s retreat. Every window frames a living picture of nature, inviting reflection and creativity. The sunroom provides additional year-round living space, ideal for reading, entertaining, or simply soaking in the quiet beauty of your surroundings.
Step outside to discover a true gardener’s paradise. A composite front deck and charming gazebo offer perfect spots for outdoor gatherings, while fertile soil and open sunlight invite endless gardening possibilities — vegetables, herbs, flowers, or fruit trees. The two-car garage, carport, and RV parking provide ample space for vehicles and guests. The workshop is a versatile flex space — ideal for conversion into a private office, hobby room, she shed, or artist’s studio.
Every element of this retreat is designed for comfort and freedom. With no HOA and no restrictions, you have the flexibility to grow, build, or live sustainably at your own pace. Thoughtful upgrades, timeless design, and natural beauty make this home move-in ready yet full of potential.
Beyond your peaceful acreage, enjoy a location that offers the best of both worlds — seclusion and accessibility. Within 30 minutes, you can reach Tryon International Equestrian Center, Lake Lure, and Chimney Rock State Park, perfect for hiking, biking, and outdoor adventures. Nearby are farm markets, grocery stores, boutiques, and welcoming communities that capture the heart of small-town living.
From the sound of the breeze through the trees to the glow of sunset over your meadow, every moment here feels restorative and true. Whether you seek a full-time residence, creative escape, or weekend retreat, this enchanting property embodies the art of peaceful living surrounded by natural beauty.
