1146 Thomas Branch Road NO DRIVE-BY's please. Contact listing agent for all showing requests. Handcrafted mountain home on 23+ private acres in Marshall, NC, near Asheville, with mountain views, high-speed internet, spring-fed pond, terraced gardens, EV charger, and separate artist studio/workspace. Set in a quiet mountain cove just minutes from downtown Marshall, this private Western North Carolina property offers the rare mix of acreage, craftsmanship, views, water, garden space, modern convenience, and town access. The home was built by a master woodworker, with natural materials, premium wood finishes, passive solar design, a wood-burning stove, and large south-facing windows that create a warm, grounded feel with lasting character. This is a home built with care, skill, and connection to the land around it. The acreage has been intentionally planted and lovingly cared for, with chestnuts, elderberry, black cherries, dogwoods, and other perennial and edible plantings adding beauty, habitat, and long-term possibility. Terraces, views, and open space offer room for gardens, recreation, or future vision. A separate studio/workspace, finished with the same quality and natural materials of the main home, adds flexibility for creative pursuits, remote work, hobbies, storage, or a quiet place to focus. The property also offers additional homesite potential, with a roughed-in access road already in place, subject to buyer verification. A rare opportunity for buyers seeking acreage, privacy, craftsmanship, modern convenience, and town access in one of Western North Carolina's most desirable mountain settings.
