Kibbin | Private, Luxury Stone Cottage by Creek

***PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CREEK AND LANDSCAPING WERE IMPACTED BY THE STORM. UPGRADES ARE UNDERWAY, AND NEW PHOTOS TO REFLECT THESE CHANGES ARE COMING SOON.***

Fall asleep to the music of Mackey Creek and awaken to a natural paradise! New stone cottage lodged in a secluded setting between pristine, rushing creek and mountainside, with the exquisite beamed interior of white pine, and locally sourced Linville blend stone and granite exterior. Heart pine floors on the main level and wool carpet in the loft. Marvin windows. Four skylights. Combination of mountain cabin and Swedish decor. Architecturally exceptional in an extraordinary setting. Nestled near the Pisgah National Forest, the owners' property consists of 7 heavily wooded acres on the house side of Mackey Creek. The owners' back property line runs just below the back side of the ridge line, hundreds of feet above the house. The front property line runs along the midpoint of the stream. The owners do not own the bridge over the creek.

About 3 miles by car from Curtis Creek Road leading to the US Forest Service's Curtis Creek Campground and about 8 miles by car from the main trailhead for Mackey Mt. and Chesnutwood Mt. on Curtis Creek Road. Scenic access to the Blue Ridge Parkway (about a 15-mile drive from US 70 intersection with Curtis Creek Road) via Curtis Creek Road (steep, winding, mostly gravel, and open only from approximately April to November), which T's into US 70 about 3 miles W of the Kibbin; easy access to Parkway from East Asheville (35-minute drive) or Linville (45-minute drive). Linville Caverns and Linville Falls are a scenic 30-minute drive from the house.

The Biltmore Estate is within a half-hour drive, downtown Asheville within a 35-minute drive, and downtown Black Mountain within a 25-minute drive. Downtown Marion, with its annual, nationally publicized Bigfoot Festival (media said that it drew 45,000 people in 2019) every September, and its Mountain Glory Festival every October, is within a 15-minute drive. Of interesting note, Kibbin was featured in the 2018 edition of "Cabin Living: Discovering The Simple American Getaway." A copy of the book is at the home for your enjoyment.
