It is rare to capture the spirit of the mountains in one place - yet Ivy Terrace has done this for over a century. Inspired by the gardens of the Biltmore Estate - trees procured and a home built at the same time in 1890. A timeless property offering flexibility as a residence, family estate, or hospitality and bed and breakfast retreat - "The Ivy Terrace Inn". The eight bedroom and bath main residence retains its character with original fireplace, floors and woodwork, yet improvements - including a commercially licensed kitchen and modern updates - allow the home to live in the present. Two cottages offer a mix of possibilities like the caretaker/guest house and another newer cottage for gathering, wellness and artistic pursuits. Step onto multiple porches and listen to the sounds of the waterfall features, soak in the hot tub, stroll the grounds under century old trees from another world. A short distance from Main Street Saluda, the future Saluda Grade Trail. 30 minutes to Asheville and Biltmore Estate make the central location your base for mountain escape.
