This property is perfect for a peaceful getaway in the mountains! Very easy to access and located in a very safe, quiet, and friendly neighborhood. The barn house is kid and dog friendly, so bring the whole family!
What makes this property unique
Located at the botton of the mountain, so no four-wheel drive necessary to get here. Just a quick 1.5 miles away from down town Hendersonville! We get the most beautiful fall colors!
ECUSTA TRAIL: The Ecusta trail is just a 5 minute walk or a one minute bike ride from the house. The Ecusta trail is an old railroad that is in the process of turning into a greenway path that connects Hendersonville and Brevard! Perfectly flat and open to walkers and bicyclers. PLEASE NOTE: most of the trail is open to the public however, not all of it is paved yet (mostly still gravel) so please use at your own caution. The trail on the Brevard side has not started yet.
