Refined Modern Farmhouse on 0.84 Acre — Gated Roper Farms
This exceptional modern farmhouse in gated Roper Farms was completed in 2023 and presents as a move-in ready, thoughtfully upgraded retreat on a lush 0.84-acre lot. Enter through a welcoming porch into a dramatic two-story living room anchored by a floor-to-ceiling fireplace — the heart of the home that flows directly to a chef’s kitchen appointed with a 48" gas range, pot filler, quartz counters, wine and beverage refrigerators, and a dedicated scullery for streamlined entertaining. A well-placed main-level office with barn-wood accents offers a quiet workspace without sacrificing style.
The main-level primary suite is private and well-proportioned, with two walk-in closets and a spa-like bath featuring a soaking tub, tiled shower and dual vanities. A screened porch with a gas fireplace is accessed from both the living room and the primary, extending living space outdoors and capturing pastoral and distant mountain views. Upstairs, a loft overlooks the living room and connects two bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a flexible bonus room — ideal for media, play, or an upstairs study — plus a second screened porch for quiet mornings or evening stargazing.
Owner enhancements elevate the package: custom board-and-batten accent wall, remote blinds on select windows, built-ins, tiled feature walls, porch handrails and swing, professionally designed landscaping with irrigation, and a whole-house generator for added peace of mind. The oversized three-car garage (≈751 sq ft) provides room for vehicles, projects and storage. Utilities include city water, a septic system, propane service, and heat-pump HVAC.
Roper Farms balances community amenities and country-like openness with practical convenience: walking paths, a dog park, gathering pavilion, sidewalks and streetlights. You’re about one mile from Mills River Park, minutes from the new Eucusta Trail and roughly 10 minutes to Asheville Regional Airport. For buyers seeking quality construction, functional luxury and a true mountain-adjacent lifestyle — this home delivers an immediate, low-maintenance ownership experience.

A factual market snapshot around 138 Mavrick Dr.
The Mills River and southern Asheville corridor remains attractive to buyers seeking newer construction on larger lots within commuting distance of Asheville. As of early 2026 the luxury segment (homes roughly $900k+) has slower inventory but solid demand: well-appointed, turnkey homes in gated or amenity-rich communities often sell quickly when priced and marketed to relocation and executive buyers. Local buyers prize proximity to AVL (≈10 minutes) and open recreational access (Mills River Park, Eucusta Trail). Expect buyer interest from professionals relocating to AVL, families seeking larger lots and downsizers seeking a low-maintenance luxury home. Price per square foot here (~$416/sf at list) reflects premium finishes and the value of privacy, views and community amenities.
Likely single-family residential zoning within a gated subdivision; lot size and use consistent with low-density residential (verify with county zoning office).
