Icarus House - Amazing views, trails, art and beauty just 4 miles from town | House in Brevard

2 Bedroom House in Brevard
Surround yourself with the quiet serenity of nature, incredible views and original art by local and national artists, in this downstairs apartment, of The Icarus House. We are located just 3.8 miles (a quick 10 minute drive) from downtown Brevard. Situated on a private, gravel road with few homes, you will feel like you are in a state forest as approach the house. This is the downstairs apartment, fully furnish and equipped. Situated high on Bracken Mountain and nestled up against thousands of acres of Pisgah forest and the Bracken Preserve, you can hike and bike without ever having to get in your car. Enjoy a glorious morning sunrise as you sip your coffee and prepare your breakfast in the fully outfitted kitchen with all the tools needed to cook to your heart’s content. And, no need for bottled water here as the tap water is delicious, crystal clear, high alkaline mountain water from a 350’ deep well on the property that has been tested for purity. For outdoor chefs, the weber gas grill awaits on the outdoor patio.
This full sized, two bedroom apartment was completely renovated down to studs in 2016 with an eye for comfort and relaxation. The new bathroom features an oversized walk-in shower with a rain head shower head. Beautiful knotty alder wood cabinetry and ceilings are accented with rich, dark granite countertops. A large screen, 68’ television with soundbar and DVD player means you won’t miss your favorite shows but other entertainment options abound. A full selection of fun, vacation-friendly DVD’s will keep you laughing.
For folks who like games and puzzles the cabinets are filled with options including Scrabble, Stratego, Chess, Backgammon, cards, and loads of jigsaw puzzles. There are trails accessible from the property as well as access to the Bracken Mountain hiking and biking trails a mile up the road. We even have streams and waterfalls a short hike from the house. For those who need to work remotely or just want to keep in touch with the latest news on-line, the apartment has excellent Wi-Fi nearly all the time (occasional weather issues may slow things a bit but that is rare.) Cell phone coverage is always great.
For chilly days and warm ambiance, enjoy relaxing in front of the gas fireplace as you stretch out in the spacious living room. And speaking of relaxing by the fire, the wood burning fire pit on the property offers a lovely way to wind down the day around a crackling fire with your beverage of choice and maybe even some S’mores.
For nature lovers, local wildlife abounds, drawn by the woods as well as the wildflower gardens on the property. From hawks, woodpeckers and hummingbirds, to turkeys, deer, turtles and more, nature is on your doorstep. This five- acre property is also planted with flowering trees and shrubs throughout, and if you are lucky enough to catch the delicious, organically grown blueberry bushes in season, you can simply pop them in your mouth right off the plant. A serene moss garden abuts the flagstone patio leading to the apartment’s fully separate private entrance.
Located on the lower level of the large cabin, this apartment has dedicated parking and a separate entrance off a patio overlooking the valley and the lights of downtown Brevard. If the out-of-state owners happen to be in town and you are looking for company, who knows, you may just end up joining them on the deck for some music and a local brew or glass of wine.
Lastly, we know that for dog lovers, they are important, much loved members of your family and we welcome them here to share your family vacation. Our only requests are no puppies and you clean up after your furry loved ones. We prefer dogs stay off the furniture but just in case they forget , we keep dog blankets for the leather couch and chairs in the closet.
We welcome you to Icarus House and know that once you have experienced staying here, you won’t ever want to leave!
