Welcome home to 55 Dane Acres, a rare opportunity to own your own private mountain forest! This homestead is truly a nature lovers utopia. As you pull up the tree-lined drive, you feel like youre entering an estate. Surrounded by flowering trees, mature roses, and other flora, the spacious well-built home is ready for an easy update. The large fireplace and the sliding glass doors to the deck anchor the living room; great for bird watching from inside on chilly days! A formal dining room leads to the spacious kitchen which is a cooks delight. Nice-sized bedrooms have ample natural light and the whole house has an easy flow. The daylight basement is perfect for a bonus room, workshop, parking, or all three. Wild blueberries and blackberries are plentiful throughout the summer; you can pop outside and grab enough for a cobbler! Channel your inner farmer with the functional barn! Re-establish walking trails throughout the property. Your beautiful estate is permanently protected against development and is across the river from state owned Sandy Mush Game Lands, making your slice of Heaven part of a larger protected viewshed. Private, but a short hop to quaint Marshall and 20 minutes to downtown Asheville. Ask your agent for further information about the land protection.
