Meticulously maintained mountain home in gated Creston Community which is bordered by Foothills Conservancy land including miles of hiking trails, community center with fitness room and gathering space for Creston activities. Private wooded land in a serene setting, yet only 11 miles to Black Mountain and 26 miles to Asheville. Features include an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, fieldstone fireplace with Morso wood stove, stainless appliances, Generac generator, and exquisite wood flooring throughout. Enjoy winter views of Mount Mitchell from the open deck and screened porch. In summer, you are tucked into lush forest and the setting is enhanced by a beautiful stone labyrinth and nearby trail to Creston Sanctuary area which has three waterfalls and miles of maintained trails. This private retreat would make a great full-time home or short-term rental (3 day minimum). The recent price reduction was made as a result of the lots being sold separately.
