690 Settlers Trail Nestled on a peaceful, level street inside one of the area's most desirable gated communities, this striking modern farmhouse blends comfort, refinement, and thoughtful design in perfect balance. The surrounding neighborhood feels like a private haven-quiet, beautifully maintained, and ideal for families who appreciate space, safety, and a sense of community. With newly paved roads, underground utilities, high-speed fiber internet, and low HOA dues, every detail of this setting reflects enduring value. Set on more than an acre dotted with mature hardwoods, the property offers privacy with just the right touch of nature-you'll often glimpse deer or turkey at the tree line. Step inside to find over 3, 100 square feet of open living space filled with light from generously sized windows and soaring ceilings. The custom fireplace takes center stage in the living room, crowned by a handcrafted wild cherry mantle that speaks to the artistry throughout the home. The kitchen is a showcase of craftsmanship and function, equipped with premium Samsung appliances including a 36" gas range, French door refrigerator, and ultra quiet dishwasher. Expansive quartz surfaces, maple cabinetry with deep drawer bases, and a spacious island invite connection and creativity. French doors open to a large covered porch that seamlessly extends the living space-perfect for relaxing afternoons or lively gatherings. A quiet private office waits behind glass French doors, offering the ideal environment for focus and inspiration. The primary suite feels both restorative and indulgent, with a tray ceiling, walls of windows, and a spa style bath featuring Italian porcelain tile, a 6 foot soaking tub, and an oversized glass shower. Dual custom vanities and a room-size his and hers walk-in closet complete the suite's perfectly measured luxury. The solid oak staircase, sculpted with precision, leads to two spacious bedrooms joined by a Jack and Jill bath with a high end double vanity and porcelain surround. An additional guest suite with a full private bath offers the flexibility of a second primary suite. Each room includes a remote controlled 60" Hampton Bay ceiling fan for year round comfort. Two full laundry rooms-one on each level-come fully equipped with new Samsung front load washers and dryers. Location adds the final touch: less than five minutes from downtown Mars Hill and the University, about fifteen minutes from the new Advent Health hospital site in Weaverville, and only twenty minutes to vibrant downtown Asheville, world class dining, breweries, galleries, skiing, and whitewater adventure. A home like this rarely arrives-with such craftsmanship, setting, and balance of sophistication and warmth-all ready for whatever comes next.
