Turnkey Contemporary Mountain Retreat — Views, Stream, & Hot Tub
This is a rare combination of scale, design and outdoor living crafted for Western North Carolina mountain life. At 60 Whispering Stream Trail you’ll find a generous contemporary home with 5,224 finished square feet, an artful two-story great room with tongue-and-groove cathedral ceiling, and expansive glazing that frames layered mountain views. The main floor primary suite is designed as a private retreat — it opens to a covered screened porch and features a spa-style bath with radiant heated floors, a soaking tub, and a custom-tiled walk-in shower.
Upstairs, a bright loft overlooks the great room and doubles as a reading nook or media space; downstairs the finished lower level extends the living area with a second family room and fireplace, a kitchenette and a second laundry — an ideal setup for guests, multi-generational living, or supplemental rental units. The interior balances warm materials (hardwood floors, built-ins and fireplaces) with modern finishes that read well on vacation rental platforms and for owner-occupants alike.
Outside, the property earns its name: an expansive deck and raised flagstone patio step down to a private hot tub and a terraced path leading to a handcrafted stream and a cozy fire-pit lounge — a memorable entertaining environment that gives this home standout nightly and seasonal appeal. Landscaped, private and accessible, the lot sits under an acre but feels much larger thanks to terracing and sitelines.
Offered fully furnished with an established short-term rental history (seller will provide records upon request), this home is less than 10 miles to downtown Hendersonville and within easy reach of Asheville and the regional airport. Listed at $1,174,000, it can function as a primary residence, second home, or turnkey investment. Bring your buyers who want a distinctive mountain property that performs financially and delights personally.

A factual market snapshot around 60 Whispering Stream Trl.
The Asheville MSA and Henderson County markets continue to favor well-located and turnkey mountain properties. Demand is led by second-home buyers, retirees and remote professionals seeking lifestyle and access to outdoor recreation. For properties priced above $1M, inventory is thinner and sales hinge on view quality, condition, and proven income for investors. Median prices across the broader Asheville region have seen modest annual appreciation; well-marketed turnkey homes with experience as short-term rentals typically command higher price-per-square-foot multiples and faster lease-up cycles than vacant or unfurnished competitors. Given the listing's established STR history, dramatic architectural features and immediate proximity to downtown Hendersonville (≈8–10 miles), this property sits in a favorable position to attract both lifestyle buyers and investor cohorts — though buyers will expect verifiable STR performance, utility/septic data, and clear documentation of maintenance due to the home's size and systems.
