Modern mountain living in the gated Homestead at Mills River, this beautiful retreat offers a peaceful setting with convenient access to Hendersonville, South Asheville, Brevard, and the hiking and biking trails of Pisgah Forest. The great room makes an immediate impression with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, a dramatic fireplace wall, and expansive Kolbe windows that bring in abundant natural light and wooded views. The kitchen blends style and function with quartz countertops, KitchenAid appliances, soft-close cabinetry, tiled backsplash, and a large center island for gathering. Just off the kitchen, sliding doors open to a private porch tucked into the trees, extending the living space outdoors. The main level includes a spacious primary suite with two walk-in closets and a spa-like bath, along with a guest suite, office, and laundry room. The lower level adds even more flexibility with a bonus room and wet bar, plus two bedrooms and a full bath. Thoughtful outdoor features include terraced stone landscaping, illuminated pathways, low-maintenance no-mow grass, and a flagstone patio complete with a fire pit, string lights, and projector screen for memorable evenings under the trees. Residents also enjoy access to the River Reserve clubhouse and private river access. Walkthrough video available via the Virtual Tour link.
