About this property

PERSIMMON GREEN FARMSTEAD

PEACE AND SERENITY OF PERSIMMON GREEN
Escape the hustle and bustle of the busy city, here at Persimmon Green you can enjoy the peace and quiet of the country side. There is no better place than the heart of Leicester to enjoy a getaway vacation of pure relaxation. This fanciful home is located on seventy-five acres of mountainous farmland, on which you will find hiking trails, ponds and an abundance of wildlife. Experience the beauty of Western North Carolina right from the covered decks

The house has 2 stories that are completely tiled with 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths with a garden tub, 2 living rooms, full kitchen, bar area, carport, and covered decks.
There are marked trails and roads that you can walk on. Mini greenhouses and gardens and ponds that you can enjoy the evening by. The yellow poplar trees are home to hummingbirds that are found regularly feeding within eyesight.
This is a working farm and you will be able to harvest some goodies for dinner when the vegetables are in season. You will be able to interact with farmers as this is an agritourism site.
Icenhower road is excellent for taking long walks on. Over the years there have been many bicycle races and bicycle clubs that pass by here. For motorcyclists, you can ride the Rattlesnake which is a beautiful 10-mile ride from here and is full of twisty turns. Visit Downtown Asheville NC, is only a quick 20-minute ride. There is ample parking for horse trailers

Beautiful, bucolic, budget-friendly
This place is a deal. Beautiful view of rolling green hills and thw mountains beyond. Remote (so don't count on great internet connectivity), but Asheville is only about 25min away. Lots of bird-watching opportunities, and cool hiking trails on the property. One of our party uses a rollator and had full access to the main floor. My only complaint would be cleanliness. In particular, the downstairs shower and shower liner had mildew present, and the microwave above the oven was quite messy. Other than that it was a great stay.

Winter Getaway
Overall the property was up to date and clean. Beautiful master bedroom suite was quite large. We enjoyed the wrap around deck. We were expecting a hot tub and a Jacuzzi bathtub. No hot tub as shown on the amenities list. I would recommend investing some money in to the linens, bathroom rugs and bedding. As luxurious as the tile floor as throughout the home, it was those items that brought down the comfort of our stay. The views and atmosphere were great. Nice seeing the cows and sheep in the pastures. Our family and 2 dogs enjoyed the stay overall. I would recommend that you take care of the broken staircase that goes down to the lower level as it could be quite hazardous.

Country House
Great views, especially in the morning as the fog can be seen over the hills. There was plenty of room for the entire family.

Hi! I'm Ronnie. Local to WNC for 3 generations, our family acquired this property for farmland in the 70s. Myself and my siblings were raised here, as were my children. You might even see the grandchildren running around or swimming in the pond. I'm as comfortable on the farm as I am on my motorcycle. I love to ride. Don't hesitate to ask me anything!

Why they chose this property
