About This Property

Location - Location - Location! Located in one of Western North Carolina's most desirable areas, this unique Mills River property offers exceptional potential with a combination of location, usable land, and multiple homesites. Whether you're searching for a primary residence, mountain retreat, family compound, or investment property, 86 Sterling Drive presents an opportunity that's becoming increasingly difficult to find.

The property features a single-level ranch home with 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, and a covered front porch, ready for your remodeling vision. The level lot overlooks neighboring pastures with the potential for beautiful mountain views.

Two additional homesites with older mobile homes add to the property's appeal. Each site has its own address, power service, and septic system, and they share a water well. According to preliminary discussions with the Town of Mills River and Henderson County, replacing mobile homes with similar structures, such as off-site on frame built tiny homes or log cabin cottages may be possible, subject to buyer verification and all applicable approvals. This creates exciting possibilities for a multi-generational family compound, long-term rental portfolio, or other investment opportunities.

The location is truly outstanding. Enjoy convenient access to Asheville, Hendersonville, Brevard, Asheville Regional Airport, shopping, dining, breweries, and the area's endless outdoor recreation within walking distance while still enjoying the peaceful setting of rural Mills River.

This is an estate sale, and the property is being sold As-Is. The main home has been vacant since winter. The sellers have limited knowledge of the property's condition, as no heirs have occupied it for several years. One mobile home has floor damage, and the other has smoke damage. Buyers should consider the mobile homes to have little structural value, the greatest value lies in the existing homesites and the potential for future replacement or redevelopment.

Opportunities like this—offering multiple homes in such a prime Mills River location—are exceptionally rare. Bring your vision and explore the possibilities.
