About 138 Mavrick Dr

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.

Neighborhood & Location

Roper Farms is a newer gated subdivision in Mills River that blends pastoral views with neighborhood amenities — sidewalks, walking trails, a dog park and community pavilion. The area appeals to buyers who want larger lots and quiet streets while remaining within a short drive of Asheville Regional Airport, breweries and downtown Hendersonville. The corridor has seen steady new-home activity and is attractive to families and professionals seeking easy access to outdoor recreation.

Market Insights

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.

Things to Consider

  • Septic system on a luxury property may be a buyer consideration (verify capacity and maintenance history)
  • HOA and gated community rules/fees not listed — confirm dues and covenants
  • Higher price-per-square-foot requires compelling comparable sales to support offering in negotiation

Opportunity Analysis

Target owner-occupier buyers who value new construction, low-maintenance luxury finishes, outdoor living and proximity to Asheville Regional Airport; price to comparable luxury product within Roper Farms and adjacent subdivisions to achieve a timely sale.

Potential Use Scenarios

  • Highlight turnkey nature and owner upgrades (generator, irrigation, built-ins) in marketing materials
  • Use targeted outreach to NE/SE relocation buyers, executive travelers using AVL, and buyers from Asheville seeking larger lots
  • Confirm and disclose HOA dues and septic documentation proactively to reduce friction
  • Price competitively against recent high-end closings in Roper Farms and nearby Mills River/Hendersonville

Risk Factors

  • Market sensitivity at higher price points — negotiating room likely
  • Potential buyer concerns around septic (vs. municipal sewer)
  • HOA restrictions/fees could narrow buyer pool

Buyers should conduct independent due diligence before making any purchase decisions.
