Turnkey mountain retreat just minutes from Asheville, offered as a flexible primary residence, mountain getaway, or income-producing short-term rental. This 3-bed, 3-bath A-frame-style cabin sits on a private 1.53-acre wooded lot accessed via a private road, with the kind of forest views and seclusion that buyers drive past dozens of listings looking for and rarely find this close to town. The main level is built for both everyday living and entertaining, with an open living, dining, and kitchen layout under vaulted ceilings that let in abundant natural light and showcase the surrounding tree canopy. Outside, a fire pit area set among the trees offers a natural gathering spot, ideal for evening fires or hosting guests against a backdrop of uninterrupted forest, along with a gas grill for outdoor cooking. This home has been meticulously maintained and is move-in ready, with a long list of recent mechanical upgrades that take the guesswork out of ownership. A new central HVAC system serves the entire house, with two mini-split units in the basement providing supplemental heat during the winter months. The kitchen and laundry areas feature a new dishwasher and a new washer and dryer. Water quality is addressed by a robust, well-maintained water treatment system paired with a water softener, and a well-maintained Generac generator covering nearly the entire home is included for reliable backup power, a meaningful advantage for a mountain property and a strong selling point for rental guests and owners alike. A standout feature of this property is the separate basement apartment, accessed independently from the main living space. This flexible layout works equally well as a private suite for extended family and guests, a long-term rental unit, or a secondary short-term rental, effectively giving an owner two income-producing spaces under one roof. The home has been professionally designed and furnished throughout, and all furnishings, decor, inventory, and rental-ready systems and setup are negotiable, allowing a buyer to step in and operate with minimal startup time or investment. This is a true turnkey opportunity for investors and owner-occupants alike, backed by a property that has clearly been cared for at every level, from its mechanical systems to its interior design. Fairview offers a rare combination of rural, mountain character and close proximity to Asheville's restaurants, shops, breweries, and cultural attractions. Nearby points of interest include Hickory Nut Gap Farm, area cideries and breweries, the WNC Cheese Trail, and access to Bearwallow Mountain hiking trails, with the Blue Ridge Parkway and downtown Asheville both a short drive away. Whether the next owner is looking for a personal mountain escape, a multi-generational living setup, or a proven short-term rental asset in one of Western North Carolina's most desirable markets, this property is built to deliver on all fronts. Set on a private 1.53-acre wooded homesite with the privacy of a quiet road, this is mountain living with room to breathe.
