This mountain chalet in beautiful Fairview is a rare find. Located in the community of Crystal Falls with gated entry - about 25 minutes from Asheville and just under 30 minutes to Black Mountain. This 11.93-acre tract offers privacy and a possible second homesite already cleared with roughed-in driveway. Throughout the home, you will find many built-in features that maximize the space. With convertible fixtures like the drop-down table in the kitchen and desks in the loft, a murphy bed in the living room surrounded by built-in shelves and cabinets, and other hidden storage areas, you will appreciate the thoughtful and practical design. Original owners lived on a sailboat for many years and understood the importance of smart design when living in small spaces. Comes with a generator and designated generator panel in the breaker box for peace-of-mind in an outage. The outbuilding offers flexible space for a shed or workshop. Relax in a hammock by the stream or enjoy a long soak in the hot tub. The Rinnai tankless water heater ensures a steady supply of hot water. This is pure mountain living. (Pre-Listing Home Inspection Report available. *Note: Main Level living area is counted as the lowest below-grade level because earth touches two of the foundation walls, but it cannot be listed as main level due to Real Estate Commission Rules."
