A haven in the mountains by the Swannanoa river

Curious about what makes the Asheville city and mountain region so weirdly wonderful? Live like a local and find out for yourself in our fully furnished house that we lovingly call the "Bee tree hive"! This home comfortably blends modern conveniences with historic charm.
The home was built as a farm house that has been fully remodeled and borders acres of farm land, pastures and the river in the back. It is located next to a public park with 2 fishing lakes and miles of hiking trails by the Swannanoa river. The next shopping center is only 2 minutes away. Downtown Asheville is about a 10 minute drive away!

Asheville is called Paris of the South for a reason- it is a metropolitan paradise that celebrates human culture in the form of arts, music, dance, poetry, theater and night life! Asheville is known to have restaurants for any taste as well as over 50 microbreweries and tasting rooms that gave this town the title of "Beer city USA".

The Bee Tree Hive is the perfect home away from home! Perfect for a family vacation or romantic getaway and conveniently located with easy access to Interstate 40 and Black Mountain (7 minutes). The property joins a large river in the backyard and features river access with fishing and several bonfire pits to relax and enjoy the serenity of pure nature!
The Bee Tree Hive has been recently updated with many new features. It is fully furnished with everything you might need. It also features a book and DVD collection for your entertainment as well as streaming internet and Netflix TV.

The house features a newly added deck facing the sunny side to the South. From here you look over green meadows with trees in front of the river. On the meadows live two Highland cows from Scotland. They are busy keeping the grass cut and maintained. They are very friendly, tame and curious!

The property also features one of the largest mineral collections in the area. Hundreds of quartz boulders with inclusions of mica and granite have been hand selected in a local quarry and used for landscaping by the river. At the moment of this writing there are 85 tons. The beautiful Swannanoa river can be reached over a short trail. There are many secluded places to relax and to unwind.
