About This Property

Charming and full of character, this 1928 farmhouse offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern improvements, along with exceptional mini-farm potential. Ideally located just 5 minutes from the airport and only a few blocks from the new Publix currently under construction, convenience meets country living. Original details shine throughout the home, thoughtfully paired with recent updates, and while the property is permitted for a 2-bedroom septic, it features three functional bedrooms to suit a variety of needs. The fully fenced property with gated access creates a private, versatile setting ideal for animals, gardening, or simply enjoying the outdoors. A 2-bay garage with 14' ceilings provides ample space for storage or projects, and the 25'x35' RV/camper carport is equipped with its own separate 2-bedroom septic system, offering excellent potential for guests, rental income, or multi-generational living. Additional features include a small greenhouse for year-round growing and a run-in barn with chicken coop ready for livestock or poultry. Whether you're looking to start a mini-farm or just want room to live, work, and grow, this unique property offers flexibility, functionality, and timeless appeal. Call today for your private showing!

About the Neighborhood

Homes for sale in 28759 place buyers in Mills River, one of Henderson County's most scenic and rapidly growing communities, situated in the broad river valley between the Blue Ridge and Pisgah ridgelines approximately 15 miles south of Asheville via I-26. The residential landscape features newer construction communities, custom homes on pastoral valley lots, and established ranches reflecting Mills River's evolution from a primarily agricultural community into one of Western North Carolina's most desirable residential addresses. The Mills River Park, the Town of Mills River's greenway network, and direct French Broad River access provide exceptional outdoor recreation, while the Pisgah National Forest's recreational gateway — including the Davidson River corridor's celebrated trout fishing and Sliding Rock natural waterslide — is within 20 minutes via US-276. Sierra Nevada Brewing Company's East Coast flagship brewery and taproom anchors a growing craft beverage and agritourism corridor along Silvers Road. The 28759 real estate market has experienced significant appreciation as buyers discover the valley's pastoral character, Blue Ridge views, and exceptional I-26 connectivity to Asheville in approximately 20 minutes, representing one of Henderson County's most compelling residential investment opportunities.
