There is something quietly compelling about a home that works with the landscape instead of against it. Built into the hillside rather than imposed upon it, this thoughtfully designed earth-sheltered home blends innovative architecture with the beauty of its natural surroundings. Tucked into more than 7 acres of mature hardwood forest, it offers an uncommon combination of privacy, energy efficiency, and a connection to nature that's increasingly difficult to find. Designed to take advantage of the natural insulating qualities of the surrounding earth, the home enjoys more consistent indoor temperatures throughout the seasons while offering a remarkable sense of peace and quiet. While its heated square footage is measured differently than a conventional home, the generous footprint, thoughtfully designed layout, and additional upper-level space create a living experience that feels far more expansive than the advertised heated square footage suggests. Inside, warm wood walls, exposed beams, and an open-concept design create an inviting atmosphere that feels both grounded and welcoming. Large windows and thoughtfully placed skylights draw natural light deep into the living spaces, creating interiors that are bright, comfortable, and unexpectedly open. Anchoring the main living area, the propane stove adds warmth, character, and a cozy gathering place throughout the cooler months. Outside, a covered front porch overlooks the fenced courtyard, creating a private outdoor living space that's ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of the surrounding woods. Above, the living roof further reinforces the home's connection to its environment while helping the structure blend naturally into the hillside. This is more than a distinctive home—it's a different way of living. One where the architecture works with nature, where the landscape provides both beauty and function, and where every season can be appreciated from a place designed to belong to its surroundings. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a mountain retreat, an inspiring artist's haven, or simply a home unlike anything else on the market, this extraordinary property offers a rare opportunity to experience Western North Carolina from a truly different perspective.

Welcome to the River House at 243 Poplar Lane. Some properties simply stop you in your tracks, and the River House is one of them. Set on 5.2 gently rolling, wooded acres along the French Broad River, this two-story home offers a rare combination of scale, character, and natural beauty that is hard to come by in Transylvania County. The home itself sits above the flood zone, giving you peace of mind while still enjoying one of the most coveted settings in the area. As with any property this close to the French Broad, portions of the land do experience occasional flooding, which only speaks to how intimately connected this property is to the river. It is the kind of tradeoff that people who love the water understand and embrace. The main level primary suite makes everyday living effortless, featuring a spacious walk-in closet with custom built-ins, a jacuzzi tub, walk-in shower, and dual sinks. Heart pine floors run throughout the home, complemented by custom built-ins, double crown molding, and recessed lighting that give every room a warm and finished feel. The recently remodeled kitchen is the heart of the home, and a second full kitchen means hosting friends and family is genuinely easy. Both kitchens are outfitted with stainless steel appliances, generous counter space, and breakfast bars. Two laundry rooms add the kind of practical convenience that guests and extended stays truly call for. Step outside and the acres open up around you. Evenings around the outdoor fire pit feel made for this setting, and the covered patios, deck, and balconies give you a front row seat to the river and the surrounding forest any time of day. All of this sits just 10 minutes from the heart of downtown Brevard, five minutes from the trails of Pisgah National Forest, and only half a mile from the future Ecusta Trail. If you have been searching for a property with room to breathe, a true connection to the river, and easy access to everything that makes Brevard special, the River House deserves your full attention.

“A true Western North Carolina legacy property—120.94 acres of protected beauty featuring springs, a waterfall, abundant wildlife, and sweeping views, centered around a one-of-a-kind custom home designed to stand the test of time. Properties of this scale, privacy, and craftsmanship are rarely offered.” Accessed through a private electric gate, a gently sloping 3/4 of a mile paved drive winds through mature timber, gradually rising approximately 300 feet to the homesite atop Little Mountain. The land itself is both usable and thoughtfully improved, featuring a small creek, natural springs, and an established one-mile, 8-foot-wide loop trail—ideal for hiking or UTV access—providing easy enjoyment of nearly the entire property. A large equipment shed offers convenient storage, and the property benefits from a timber tax exemption. Surveyed in fall 2025, the acreage reflects careful stewardship and long-term vision. Completed in 2023, the custom-built residence is perfectly positioned to capture what may be some of the finest views in the area, overlooking the surrounding mountains and the French Broad River Valley. Offering approximately 3,847 square feet of heated living space, the home is complemented by thoughtfully designed outdoor living areas, including a 400-square-foot screened porch with vaulted ceilings, fireplace, and TV, a 400-square-foot covered patio with an additional fireplace, and a 170-square-foot open grilling deck—all designed to take full advantage of the property’s natural setting and year-round climate. Inside, the home reflects quality and intention throughout, with high-end finishes and features including Sub-Zero appliances, gas cooktop, walk-in pantry, dual fuel oven, horizontal gas fireplace, 2 bedrooms with 2 full baths and 1 half bath on the main level, and 2 bedrooms with full baths on the lower level. You will love the spacious attached 3 car garage. It also has a Generac whole-home propane generator. Extensive boulder hardscaping and professional landscaping further enhance the setting while maintaining a natural, mountain aesthetic. An additional 700 square feet of basement space provides flexibility for storage or future use. Despite its size and privacy, the property is remarkably accessible—located just 2.4 miles from Pisgah National Forest, 5.7 miles from downtown Brevard, 13.5 miles from Asheville Regional Airport, and within easy reach of DuPont State Recreational Forest, Hendersonville, and Gorges State Park. Whether enjoying the consistent mountain breeze from the porch, gathering around one of the outdoor fireplaces, or exploring the trail system with friends, this property offers a rare combination of scale, comfort, and livability. A truly exceptional opportunity to own one of the area’s most distinctive and private estates.
