$3,285Welcome to this beautiful modern craftsman-style mountain home located in the Alexander area of Western North Carolina, where peaceful surroundings meet convenient access to nearby mountain towns and Asheville. This thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home features custom finishes, spacious outdoor living areas, vaulted ceilings, and stunning long-range mountain views that capture the natural beauty of the region. The home sits on a south-facing lot that enjoys beautiful natural light throughout the day, offering warm morning sun and glowing afternoon light across the landscape. The property has been carefully oriented to maximize privacy, allowing you to enjoy the mountain setting while still being part of a welcoming small HOA community located within a Natural Habitat designated area. As you arrive, the concrete driveway creates a smooth and welcoming approach to the property and leads to a spacious two-car garage. The lot offers a combination of level and gently sloping yard areas, creating usable outdoor space while preserving the natural character of the mountains. One of the standout features of the home is the expansive covered deck space designed for year-round outdoor living. The large decks provide an ideal setting for relaxing, entertaining, or simply taking in the breathtaking long-range mountain views. Whether you are enjoying a quiet morning coffee or gathering with friends in the evening, the covered outdoor spaces allow you to fully appreciate the surrounding scenery in every season. Inside, the home features a warm and inviting layout designed for both comfort and functionality. The living room welcomes you with vaulted ceilings that create a bright and open atmosphere while drawing your eyes toward the mountain views beyond. Natural light fills the space through thoughtfully placed windows, allowing the outdoors to become part of the living experience. The primary bedroom also features vaulted ceilings, creating a spacious and peaceful retreat within the home. Two additional bedrooms offer flexible space for guests, family, or a home office. The 2.5 bathrooms are conveniently positioned to support everyday living and visiting guests. An unfinished basement offers excellent potential for future expansion. This space could easily be transformed into additional living quarters, a recreation room, home gym, media space, or guest suite. With generous square footage available, the basement gives the next owner the opportunity to customize the home and add value over time. Outdoor living continues beyond the deck with a yard that includes both level and gently sloping areas. The level section creates room for gardening, outdoor activities, or enjoying the fresh mountain air, while the sloping portion maintains privacy and enhances the natural feel of the property. Location is another major highlight of this home. While tucked into a peaceful mountain setting, the property remains close to many of the area's most charming towns and destinations. It is conveniently located near Marshall, Leicester, Hot Springs, Mars Hill, and Weaverville, making it easy to access restaurants, local shops, outdoor recreation, and community events. The home is also approximately 10 minutes from the upcoming Novant Health medical facility in Weaverville and about 20 minutes to vibrant downtown Asheville. This property offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy mountain living with comfort, privacy, and accessibility. With its modern craftsman style, vaulted ceilings, covered decks, long-range views, two-car garage, unfinished basement potential, and beautiful sun exposure, this home combines thoughtful design with the natural beauty of Western North Carolina. Whether you are searching for a full-time residence or a mountain retreat, this Alexander-area home creates the perfect setting to enjoy the mountain lifestyle while remaining close to the energy and culture of Asheville and the surrounding communities.

Huntersville NC Real Estate Guide
Local Tips & Strategies for the 28078 Market
1. Commute Tips: If you’re interested in Huntersville homes for sale, drive I-77 at 0730. Managing the Express Lane access points from Birkdale or Macaulay is the difference between an easy commute and total gridlock nightmare.
2. Valuation Tips: Sellers in communities like Skybrook or Northstone shouldn’t ever anchor prices to Lake Norman waterfront data or properties. Value is driven by the Huntersville school district, lifestyle amenities and location, location, location.
3. Local Boating Tips: Beat the boat ramp crowds at Blythe Landing by launching early in the morning, before 0800. On the way home, hit Rise Cafe in Birkdale Crossings or head by Birkdale Village for dinner. (See some of our favorite restaurants in Birkdale Village)
Huntersville NC Real Estate FAQ
Is Huntersville NC walkable?
Birkdale Village is the premier walkable hub, offering a mix of luxury retail, dining, and single-family residential homes.. There are also townhomes and plenty of places to eat. As a resident, I walk to Birkdale daily for exercise or to eat. There’s always something going on there.
How are the schools in Huntersville?
Top schools include Lake Norman Charter and Grand Oak Elementary, which are major drivers for local property values. Beware of Charlotte Mecklenburg School systems as they constantly change the school map around Huntersville. If you need more information, go directly to the school system to be sure.
Are property taxes lower than Charlotte?
Yes. You get Mecklenburg County services without the added Charlotte city tax—a major win for relocations. Local tip to consider is that taxes in Mecklenburg County are higher than nearby counties.
Where is the best outdoor recreation?
Latta Nature Preserve is the crown jewel, offering miles of waterfront hiking and kayak launches on Mountain Island Lake. Jetton Park in Cornelius is on of my favorites and only a five minute drive from Birkdale Village.
What are the top golf neighborhoods?
Northstone Country Club and Skybrook Golf Club are the premier destinations for luxury golf-course living. Nearby in other towns you’ll also find additional choices to drive balls or play 18 holes.
