Escape the heat with a NEW AC INSTALLED IN JUNE OF 2026. Tucked beneath the trees of Western North Carolina and surrounded by the peaceful beauty of Haywood Knolls, this one owner, mountain retreat offers the kind of privacy, flexibility, and potential that buyers dream about when searching for a home in Hendersonville. Set on a wooded 1.0 acre, the property feels worlds away while still providing convenient access to Hendersonville’s charming downtown, outdoor recreation, local vineyards, hiking trails, and the Blue Ridge lifestyle that continues to draw buyers and investors to the region. Natural light filters through the trees and into the home’s interior, where the main level offers a functional layout with the primary suite and secondary bedroom(s), comfortable living spaces, and the warm character that makes mountain homes feel instantly relaxing. Whether you are searching for a full-time residence, a second home escape, or an investment opportunity in one of Western North Carolina’s most desirable markets, the setting alone creates endless appeal. Downstairs, the partially finished basement expands the possibilities even further with an additional finished flex space currently used as a sewing room, ideal for a home office, hobby room, guest overflow, fitness area, creative studio, or future recreation space. The lower level adds versatility for changing needs and offers buyers the opportunity to make the space their own over time. Outside, the wooded surroundings create a peaceful mountain atmosphere with room to enjoy nature, entertain around a firepit, sip coffee while listening to the sounds of the forest, or simply unwind in the cool mountain air. The privacy of the lot offers a rare sense of seclusion while still keeping everyday conveniences within reach.
