BREVARD, N.C. (September 2, 2021) — An extraordinary farmhouse estate sited on 160 acres has sold for $9.3 million; it is the most expensive residential sale recorded in the Asheville region. Located at 3903 Island Ford Road, this ultra-private paradise features a modern main residence, two guest cottages and a pool house. The property was marketed exclusively by Marilyn Wright of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Asheville office and co-listed with John Witherspoon of Witherspoon Platt Associates. Wright also represented the buyer.
The seller purchased the property in 2016, fully renovating the main residence. Exceptional appointments include soaring cathedral ceilings, stone wood-burning fireplaces, an incredible chef’s kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances, a personal gym, a two-level home theater and multiple decks with breathtaking vistas. New additions to the property include a pool and one-bedroom pool house as well as the acquisition of 10 adjacent acres.
Two separate guest cottages on the property provide privacy for friends and family: The two-story home features three bedrooms and three baths; a cozy two-bedroom cabin resembling a Swiss chalet offers a hot tub and scenic river views. The surrounding acreage allows for an abundance of outdoor recreation with a fishing pond, basketball court and tennis courts.
