About this property
Asheville Autumn Getaway/Mountain Views/Biltmore/ Private Hot Tub/Fire Pit/pets
Historic Farmstead Retreat w/ Hot Tub, Fire Pit & Mountain Views Welcome to a peaceful farmhouse retreat set on a piece of Asheville’s living history. Surrounded by open meadows and rolling pasture, this relaxing escape offers the perfect balance of country tranquility and city convenience, just minutes from downtown Asheville.
Once an active produce farm in the 1970s, this land provided fresh fruits and vegetables to the local community for over 30 years. In the early 2000s, it took on a new purpose—growing potatoes for families in need and continuing its tradition of giving back.
Today the land still honors its self-sustaining roots. The surrounding fields are used to grow hay for local farmers, creating wide open views, fresh mountain air, and a peaceful setting that invites you to slow down and unwind.
Relax in the fenced Zen garden with bubbling fountain, soak in the private hot tub, or gather around the fire pit under the stars. Step beyond the fence to explore open fields, swing beneath the sky, and take in beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain views.

About the host
Hosted by Michael Patton
Penley Produce is currently owned by Tony & Kathy Brown who is the grandson of Mr. Lloyd Adam Penley. However, the original farm was purchased at the turn of the century by the Penley's and divided amongst the family members. Lloyd & Laura Penley built the farm house in 1923. Over the years, Tony & Kathy have reassembled the almost 15 acres of original land and 8+ homes. Ultimately, the property will be turned to conservation land and be available for large weddings/events for over 250 guests.
Tony Brown, who was lived in the farm house for his first 3 years, is author of two little known books 'A Happy Guide to a Short Life' which is a response to Ms. Anna Quindlen's mulit-million selling 'A Short Guide to a Happy Life.' (2007) Mr. Brown also wrote a children's book entitled, 'Farmer Lloyd & Grannie's Big Farm in the Mountains' (1998).
Micheal Patton, Tony's Brother, is the Property Manager/Primary Contact for Penley Produce Spa Retreat & Gallery. He also grew up on the Penley Farm picking cukes, corn, beans, peppers, and squash. He is the Owner/President of Mountaineer Construction and is available to address any repairs or issues that might arise during your stay.
Phyllis Patton, Tony and Mike's Mom and the daughter of Lloyd & Laura Penley, is a professional real estate agent with Beverly Hanks & Associates. As a child, she grew up on the farm and was catch milking a cow by her future husband (Bud Patton) who had come calling. The rest is history ... as they say.
Why they chose this property
Penley Produce was an active farm from the early 1900's until 2010 when Mr. Lloyd Penley died at 102 years of age. Mr. Penley and his brother ER raised chickens, fruits, and vegetables through the Great Depression and retiring from the Enka Plant in 1973. During the 1960s-70s, the Penley Clan grew to over 50 family members who all lived within FIVE (5) miles of the family farm. The entire family attended Francis Asbury United Methodist Church and attended school in Buncombe County. More recently in 2000s, through the leadership of the Community Foundation of Western North Carolina, Fields of Hope at Penley Produce grew and distributed several tons of potato to Mana Food Bank.
Over the years, family and friends have celebrated weddings, holidays, and birthdays at 'GranLloyd & Grannie Laura's'. Most notably, Grannie Laura's 90th birthday was an all day gala with hot air ballons, blue grass band, carnival tent, BBQ, horse rides, square dancing/clogging, bike/motorcycle riding, volleyball games, frisbee toss, 90 red roses and wonderfully decorated picnic tables, and local fruits/vegetables. It is from this context of family, history, and community service that Penley Produce Spa Retreat & Gallery was born.
What makes this property unique
Penley Produce is the perfect for visitors looking for open space, au natural privacy, yet still within 15 minutes of Downtown Asheville. Whether you are a mountain biker wanting immediate access to WNC's finest trails, or a craft beer enthusiast who might enjoy BOTH a frosty mug at a farm-setting sunset and another round at one of Asheville's many micro-breweries/bars/resturants. Some folks will come on the Penley farm and never leave while others will use it as a point of departure for a full weekend of outdoor activities ... which might just include shopping!
