Historic 1890s Asheville Farmhouse Retreat Sleeps 13 Hot Tub + Playground | Other in Asheville
5 Bedroom Place in Asheville
Step into Asheville history at the original 1890 Riceville Farmhouse, a beautifully renovated mountain farmhouse located just 15 minutes from downtown Asheville and minutes from hiking, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Biltmore Estate.
Once part of a historic cattle route to the Biltmore along Bull Creek, this spacious and character-filled home now offers the perfect blend of old-world charm and modern comfort—ideal for family vacations, multi-generational gatherings, wedding groups, and small retreats.
Set on ¾ acre of fenced land, the property is designed for both relaxation and connection. Enjoy morning coffee on the south-facing front porch, evenings around the stone patio firepit, or stargazing from the bromine hot tub. Children love the treehouse, playground, climbing dome, and wide-open yard, while adults appreciate the multiple decks, outdoor dining areas, herb gardens, grapevines, and the stunning 100-year-old weeping cherry tree at the center of the property.
Inside, the farmhouse offers 1,900 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space, plus two bonus attic rooms with their own heat and air conditioning. The layout comfortably sleeps up to 13 guests:
Primary bedroom with king pillowtop mattress and private ensuite bath (updated 2025)
Second-floor bedroom with twin-over-full bunk bed
Second-floor bedroom with two twin beds
Two bonus attic rooms, each with two twin beds
Living room with queen sleeper sofa
The fully equipped kitchen includes a gas range, large refrigerator, Keurig, and everything needed to cook for a crowd. The expandable farmhouse table seats 10+ guests, with additional seating at the island and nearby sitting room. A wet bar, piano, wood-burning stove, laundry facilities, and a dedicated remote-work side room make this home equally suited for fun or productivity.
For guests looking for additional space, an optional 700-square-foot studio is available to rent separately. Filled with natural sunrise light, the studio is ideal for yoga, dance, workshops, or hosting small gatherings, and features a sprung floor, mirror, barre, straps, and yoga mats.
You’ll enjoy easy access to Asheville’s best attractions while returning each night to a quiet, private mountain setting. Groceries are just 3 miles away, the Blue Ridge Parkway is only minutes from the house, and downtown Asheville, Black Mountain, breweries, farm-to-table dining, and shopping are all close by.
