About this home
Generational mountain estate property available for the first time publicly consisting of 35 +/- recreational acres primed for use as multi-family estate, working farm, group camp grounds, tiny home community, or short term rental complex for multiple homes. Three parcels make up the total acreage offering, the southwest corner joining Pisgah National Forest boundary, property access by recorded easement road from end of pavement on Watagnee Trail, fresh gravel placed in May 2026. Since being operated as the historic Lion Tamer Hunting Lodge of Mills River, property was used privately as recreational land by current owners and their guests, hosting scouting groups, hunting excursions and weekend stays. Headwater streams daylight at least three locations on property. Original 800 square foot brick cabin sits near entry at top of three acre open field, with open quad bunks, full bathroom, full kitchen, functional wood burning fireplace and all electric power service, well and septic, winterized annually during colder months. Opposite the main cabin, an expansive open air barn keeps equipment weather-safe, and boasts a kitchenette room and an enclosed storage room. Smaller wood and tractor barns line the upper road leading to the studio cabin, a 256 square foot tiny house with 100 foot loft built in 2024, with full bathroom and raised sleeping loft. Wood trim crafted from aged yellow raw pine, custom made book cases and loft ladder, soapstone fully vented propane stove with thermostatic control. Home was designed with the thought it could be relocated to another area of the property, or could serve as a template for multiple tiny homes along the adjacent upper loop road. Upper field boasts 3 cleared acres of gentle hillside ideal for additional residences, structures or new pen or barn construction. Property entrance just 12 minute drive from Mills River, 19 minute drive from Asheville Regional Airport, 24 minutes to Downtown Hendersonville, and 34 minutes to Downtown Asheville. Property not visible from road, drive-bys not possible. Showings available by appointment only....
