This mountain chalet in beautiful Fairview is a rare find. Located in the gated community of Crystal Falls about 25 minutes from Asheville and just under 30 minutes to Black Mountain. Throughout the home, you will find many built-in features that maximize the space. With convertible fixtures like the drop-down table in the kitchen and desks in the loft, a murphy bed in the living room surrounded by built-in shelves and cabinets, and other hidden storage areas, you will appreciate the thoughtful and practical design. The original owners lived on a sailboat for many years and understood the importance of smart design when living in small spaces. The home comes with a generator and designated generator panel in the breaker box for peace-of-mind in an outage. The outbuilding offers flexible space for a shed or workshop. Relax in a hammock by the stream or enjoy a long soak in the hot tub. The Rinnai tankless water heater ensures a steady supply of hot water. The split-face block walls add a natural stone-like aesthetic that blends perfectly with the mountain setting, where towering hardwoods and diverse native wildlife of the Southern Blue Ridge surround you in every season. Potential second homesite already cleared with roughed-in driveway. This is mountain living at its finest – come experience it for yourself. *Notes: Main Level living area is counted as the lowest below-grade level because earth touches two of the foundation walls, but it cannot be listed as main level due to Real Estate Commission Rules. Pre-Listing Home Inspection Report available.
