Location - Location - Location! Located in one of Western North Carolina's most desirable areas, this unique Mills River property offers exceptional potential with a combination of location, usable land, and multiple homesites. Whether you're searching for a primary residence, mountain retreat, family compound, or investment property, 86 Sterling Drive presents an opportunity that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. The property features a single-level ranch home with 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, and a covered front porch, ready for your remodeling vision. The level lot overlooks neighboring pastures with the potential for beautiful mountain views. Two additional homesites with older mobile homes add to the property's appeal. Each site has its own address, power service, and septic system, and they share a water well. According to preliminary discussions with the Town of Mills River and Henderson County, replacing mobile homes with similar structures, such as off-site on frame built tiny homes or log cabin cottages may be possible, subject to buyer verification and all applicable approvals. This creates exciting possibilities for a multi-generational family compound, long-term rental portfolio, or other investment opportunities. The location is truly outstanding. Enjoy convenient access to Asheville, Hendersonville, Brevard, Asheville Regional Airport, shopping, dining, breweries, and the area's endless outdoor recreation within walking distance while still enjoying the peaceful setting of rural Mills River. This is an estate sale, and the property is being sold As-Is. The main home has been vacant since winter. The sellers have limited knowledge of the property's condition, as no heirs have occupied it for several years. One mobile home has floor damage, and the other has smoke damage. Buyers should consider the mobile homes to have little structural value, the greatest value lies in the existing homesites and the potential for future replacement or redevelopment. Opportunities like this—offering multiple homes in such a prime Mills River location—are exceptionally rare. Bring your vision and explore the possibilities.

At the heart of the property is a fully renovated 1930s farmhouse surrounded by rolling pasture, fenced paddocks, mountain views, a meandering creek, established gardens, barns, and outbuildings. Currently operated as a small working farm, the property is well-suited for horses, livestock, gardening, homesteading, or simply enjoying the mountain lifestyle. Honeycreek Highlands can be enjoyed as it is today with outstanding long-term potential.

Old and new have been thoughtfully blended, while wood paneling and original details preserve timeless farmhouse character. Outdoor living includes two covered front porches and a rear patio area ideal for a hot tub. The entire area around the home is fenced and accessed by an automatic gate, creating a secure space for pets and outdoor recreation. A gentle creek flows along the lower edge of the front yard. The driveway offers ample parking and leads to an oversized two-car carport incorporated into an original barn structure with generous storage. Two additional outbuildings sit near the home, including one improved with reclaimed fence wood and a concrete floor for a future studio, workshop, or creative space. The lower paddock includes a shed, chicken coop, wellhouse, and barn, while the upper fenced paddock provides generous room for horses or other animals.

Tucked away on 30 breathtaking acres in a truly special pocket of the mountains, experience the rare combination of complete seclusion with everyday convenience. This extraordinary property offers a level of privacy that's nearly impossible to find...Yet you're only 4.5 miles from both The Fresh Market in North Asheville and the Weaverville Publix. Just 9 miles from the Patton Ave-Clingman Ave. intersection and all of Asheville's offerings. Cherished by the same owners for the past 42 years, this is more than a home—it's a mountain sanctuary thoughtfully shaped by decades of stewardship. (The 7/1/2021 sale in the price history was for a parcel of land cut from the original acreage which was sold to a neighbor) The moment you arrive, the outside world seems to disappear. Beautiful bird songs provide the soundtrack for the kitchen, while incredible natural light fills the home and frames the surrounding landscape. Excellent soil nourishes lovingly cultivated grounds as a living work of art, with lush perennial gardens offering color, texture, and beauty throughout the seasons. Every path, planting, and gathering space reflects decades of intention and care. Two streams flow through the property with one of them harnessed to gravity feed water to the yard and gardens. A spring provides gravity-fed water to the home. Step outside and discover a private trail system that meanders throughout the property, crosses a gentle stream, winds through mature woods, and gradually climbs to the top of the ridge. There, you will find your own private Sunset Summit with expansive views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and French Broad River Valley that stretch to the horizon. Thoughtfully placed benches and swings along the trail invite you to pause, soak in the long-range views and the sounds of nature along with the wildlife that calls this special place home. Inside, a substantial wood-burning stove is capable of heating the entire home, creating an inviting retreat in every season. Whether enjoying a quiet morning with the windows open to the sounds of the creek or watching the sun disappear over the mountains each evening, life here moves at a different pace. For those seeking flexibility, half the house has operated successfully as an Airbnb since 2014, making it equally suited as a full-time residence and an income-producing investment. This is the one-of-a-kind property you've been waiting for!

Perched on 2.29 peaceful acres just two minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Jonas Ridge snow tubing park, this impeccably maintained property offers the perfect balance of mountain serenity and accessibility. Located less than 10 minutes from Linville Falls, 11 miles from Grandfather Mountain, and 13 miles from Sugar Mountain Ski Resort, this location is an absolute haven for year-round outdoor recreation. The acreage features a gentle mix of open lawn and mature woods with cleared paths for meandering, offering a low-maintenance lifestyle and plenty of space for gardening and yard games. Buyers have the option to expand their footprint by parceling out a section of the land to build an additional home or ADU if desired. Inside, the 2,674-square-foot layout is thoughtfully designed for single-floor living. Walking past the established landscaping and through the front door, you enter a chef’s dream kitchen, outfitted with a five-burner gas stove, updated appliances, leathered granite countertops, and a sun-drenched eat-in dining nook. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a spacious living room anchored by a gas log fireplace. The living room opens to a partially covered back deck that showcases seasonal mountain views, which could easily be expanded with selective tree work. The primary bedroom suite sits separately to the right of the living area, easily accommodating a king-sized bed and featuring a walk-in closet and an ensuite bathroom with a soaking tub. Two additional generously sized guest bedrooms and a second full bathroom sit on the opposite side of the home. The fully finished lower level significantly expands the home's utility, featuring internal stairs that lead down to a sprawling recreation room complete with pool table, third full bathroom, and a convenient kitchenette with a second full-size refrigerator. The lower level also provides access to a spacious two-car garage and fenced-in yard for the pups. The sellers have invested heavily in capital improvements, leaving nothing for the next owner to do but move in. Major updates include a new roof and gutters in 2020, new windows in 2023/24, and a comprehensive mini-split system installed throughout the home in 2024. Modern cosmetic updates round out the value, including new light fixtures, ceiling fans, cabinet hardware, faucets, and a custom barn door in the primary suite. The pool table and rec room fridge both convey. Additional furnishings are negotiable, making this an even more turnkey opportunity to set down roots in a gorgeous pocket of the High Country.
