Living in Mills River means being surrounded by some of Western North Carolina’s most loved destinations while still enjoying a slower, more relaxed pace of life. From nearby breweries, orchards, and local restaurants to hiking trails, fly fishing streams, and parks, the area offers an ideal balance of outdoor recreation and everyday convenience. Whether it’s an evening at Bold Rock, time spent at Mills River Park, or quick access to Hendersonville, Asheville, and the Asheville Regional Airport, this location makes it easy to experience the best of the mountains.

Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in The Cottages at Wintercress, 122 Wintercress Drive offers a private setting on a beautifully maintained, level lot in the heart of Mills River. Inside, the home feels open, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed for everyday living. Vaulted ceilings fill the main living area with natural light, while the kitchen centers around a large island perfect for gathering, hosting, or quiet mornings at home. The primary suite is privately positioned on the main level alongside a dedicated office, and upstairs, a finished bonus area adds flexibility beyond the 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath layout.

The outdoor living space is just as inviting. A screened porch with a fireplace creates a year-round extension of the home—ideal for slow mornings, cool evenings, and everything in between. A matching outbuilding offers additional space for storage, hobbies, lawn equipment, or a workshop, complete with indoor and outdoor solar lighting.

Built in 2023, the home also features hard board siding, Andersen exterior doors and windows, spray foam insulation, a full-home generator, and an EV plug in the garage. With thoughtful landscaping already in place and every detail carefully finished, this is a home that feels easy to settle into from day one.
