221 Starry Night Lane

Welcome to this newer, move-in-ready custom home by Brown Haven, a contemporary masterpiece that blends upgrades with a tranquil, private setting. Situated on 11.83 acres, this property offers year-round mountain views and seasonal views of the French Broad River below, all while providing peace of mind as the entire property sits above the flood plain, having sustained no damage from the recent 100+ year storm. This home is designed for seamless, one-level living with minimal entry steps and a highly functional split bedroom design. The open floor plan is a highlight, featuring impressive 9-foot ceilings throughout and a soaring 17-foot cathedral ceiling with open beams in the living room. Natural light pours in through the spacious windows, offering constant access to the stunning views. The living room is anchored by a beautiful stone fireplace with unvented gas logs, flanked by custom built-ins. The kitchen is well designed with Hickory cabinets, stainless appliances and a beautiful work island/eat in bar. The home combines style with practicality, featuring low-maintenance vinyl plank floors in the main living areas, plush carpeting in the bedrooms, and durable tile floors in the bathrooms and laundry room. One of the bedrooms includes convenient pocket doors, making it a perfect, flexible space for a home office or den. The exterior is just as thoughtfully designed as the interior. The home has a low-maintenance fiber cement exterior, and the property features a flat, paved driveway leading to an oversized 2-car garage with a granite non-slip floor. The garage offers plenty of extra shelving for storage plus a drop-stair access to additional overhead storage. The rear yard is a true outdoor oasis, boasting an oversized gravel and stone patio with a firepit—ideal for gatherings and enjoying the sounds of the river. A small fenced area provides a safe space for pets. The property also includes a newer 550 sq. ft., two-story barn, a versatile space that could be used as a workshop, artist studio, or for additional storage. With an abundance of black walnut trees and a nearly-level yard at the homesite, this property provides ample privacy and a pristine setting. This home is a perfect primary or secondary residence with short-term rental possibilities (buyer to confirm). It offers a perfect balance of seclusion and convenience: located minutes from the Redmon Dam public river access (great for fishing, tubing, or kayaking), less than 10 minutes from downtown Marshall, and just 30 minutes from downtown Asheville. You are also less than 40 minutes from Hatley Pointe Mountain Ski Resort (formerly Wolf Laurel), ensuring endless outdoor recreation. This home checks all the boxes for a perfect mountain retreat, so don't delay!
