829 Kelly Mountain Road

Brevard, NC 28712

Where refined mountain luxury meets inspired, forward-thinking design, this custom residence offers an exceptional lifestyle in Western North Carolina. Set on 2.25 acres of mature forest within a private luxury community in the Land of Waterfalls, the property is surrounded by national forest, state forests, and the Blue Ridge Mountains—providing rare privacy, tranquility, and an immersive connection to nature. Beautiful forest views unfold throughout the home, with rhododendrons in bloom, frequent wildlife sightings, and remarkable sunrises over the eastern hills visible from many rooms. From the sunroom and screened porch, one enjoys an intimate, close-up experience of mountain life—watching deer, bears with cubs, bobcats, and the ever-changing seasons of the surrounding woodland. This is not a distant view, but a deeply lived-in relationship with nature. Thoughtfully created through the collaboration of a medical doctor, engineer, and builder, the home reflects an intentional approach to comfort, efficiency, and long-term quality. Designed as a passive solar home, it utilizes south-facing windows, a rock Trombe wall, and radiant-heated tile floors to collect, store, distribute, and release solar energy naturally—providing steady warmth in winter and effective heat rejection in summer. Multiple heating sources include a central heat pump with propane backup, radiant floor heating throughout supplied by a solar water heater, a wood-burning stove, and passive solar gain, along with central heating and air conditioning, backup generator capability, and a central vacuum system. Low-EMF features include metal-clad wiring, a master bedroom kill switch, broadband wiring designed to minimize WiFi reliance, clean-wave energy, and low-VOC paints and stains. Designed for main-level living, the home centers around a dramatic great room with soaring ceilings and south-facing windows flowing through a grand arch into the dining area. The chef’s kitchen features high-end granite countertops, custom hickory cabinetry handcrafted by a local master carpenter from Stone Mountain, and top-tier appliances. A large screened porch just off the kitchen offers a peaceful, tree-house feel with long-range winter views. The lower level apartment includes a fully equipped in-law or guest suite with radiant heated tile floors, granite countertops, bedroom, bath, anteroom, kitchenette, and private exterior entrance. Above the garage, a spacious carriage house or home office with half bath, private entrance, and broadband wiring provides excellent flexibility and potential tax advantages. A large garden area features fruit trees including paw paw, apple, grape, peach, plum, and persimmon. Additional unheated spaces include a screened porch, entry patio, garden room with root cellar, and garage. Heated living area totals 3,310 SF, with a 2,250 SF main level (3 BR/2 BA), 720 SF lower level apartment, and 340 SF office above garage. Community amenities include access to miles of private trails. All of this is just a short scenic drive to historic downtown Brevard and close to Asheville Regional Airport, offering convenience without sacrificing the serenity of a mountain retreat. This exceptional property delivers timeless craftsmanship, modern luxury, and the very best of Western North Carolina living.
