This home presents at the top of Seven Mile Ridge west of Mars Hill, NC and overlooks the entire Craggy Range of mountains to the NE, E, and SE horizons. Mt. Mitchell is visible some thirty miles distant, and at night the faint lights of Weaverville can be seen across the valley. The unmatched vista of this well maintained cottage is crowned about by magnificent oaks, hickories, and poplars on 1.3 acres of woodlands, which make for great wildlife-watching all year long. An owners' association maintains the access road climbing up to it from below, and "Hickory House" has but one additional family located at road's end about a half-mile away.
The owners have taken utmost care to provide for year-long wildflower garden spaces, and a beautiful assortment of plants, including mature rhododendrons, azaleas, and hostas abound, along with irises and spring bulbs. The lawn takes less than ten minutes to mow!
Upstairs the open floor plan has a lovely milled hardwood floor throughout and is well lit, with dramatic views from every window, including several tall ones in the Palladian style. The lower level is also spacious and filled with natural light for flexible usefulness. There are new decks on three sides, with convenient settings for enjoying the vistas while quietly relaxing, birdwatching, preparing barbecue, or enjoying a fire after dark.
Septic is rated for 2 bedroom, but besides the primary bedroom on the main, the lower level has two rooms that can be used as bedrooms. There is an entirely usable very dry lower level basement that is also mostly above grade. The many upgrades include a Gas powered generator for essential household maintenance wired into the electrical cabinet and with the plug for the engine on the left side of the front porch.
