Very easy to get to, just a 30 second drive up the driveway and you are there. It's only five minutes to shopping and eating in historic Weaverville where you can enjoy strolling down old time main street. While you're there, maybe check out the local wine room,grab some pizza and listen to some live music or check out the local fly fishing shop. And if you want to really step out and hit the 'big city', the house is only a fifteen minute drive to downtown Asheville . There you can shop, tour the Biltmore Estate, go to a museum, eat at amazing restaurant, see live music, check out an art gallery... tons to do and see!! We love spending time here and am pretty sure you will too. While at the house you will find amazing 270 degree views where you can see the blue ridge mountains and in the distance maybe even the Smokies. From the huge deck you can enjoy some of the best sunsets you may ever witness. Spending time at the house is great: you can just relax and take in the scenery while reading a book and having a glass of wine or sit under a tree and have a local Asheville craft brew or just hang out in the hammock...It's an easy, peaceful day. If you want to stay at home for dinner, my personal favorite place to cook is on the outdoor grill. Grill up your dinner while enjoying the slow sunset and then enjoy eating outside at the picnic table. Then it's time to sit around the fire pit and roast marshmallows and make S'mores. The house has almost 2 acres of land so you have plenty of privacy and a large part of the land is level. (Here in the mountains it is extremely rare to get flat land and great views, but we got both.) Feel free to play some basketball while listening the big stereo. We also have ping pong and cornhole and some board games as well. MAIN LIVING AREA:On the main level you will find a huge master with an ensuite bathroom and a walk in shower and jetted tub.
