About This Home

Set on approximately 4.6 acres of private mountain land, this Fairview retreat delivers a rare combination of space, privacy, and income-producing versatility just outside Asheville. The 3,343 sq ft main residence anchors the property with four bedrooms, multiple gathering areas, a double-sided electric fireplace, a well-equipped kitchen, and a dedicated lower-level game room ideal for entertaining and extended stays. A fully detached guest house of around 780 sq ft HLA enhances the offering with two additional bedrooms, its own kitchen and living space, private laundry, hot tub, fire pit, and deck—creating a true multi-structure layout well suited for diversified short-term rental use. Outdoor living is a highlight, featuring a seasonal pool, open lawn areas, and wooded surroundings that provide a sense of seclusion while remaining accessible. With strong rental appeal, flexible occupancy, and amenity-rich design, this property presents an exceptional opportunity as a high-performing STR or private mountain compound. Property includes two separate residences. 1236 Upper Brush Creek offers three bedrooms above grade plus one additional bonus room below grade. 1234 Upper Brush Creek includes two additional bonus rooms. Seller is in the process of expanding the existing permit from three bedrooms to five.
