Red Barn Retreat

About this home

An architectural marvel, this Weaverville, North Carolina, vacation home was once an authentic pole barn on an Appalachian tobacco farm located only fifteen minutes from Asheville! The remarkable renovation has preserved original features, including barn stalls that have been converted into distinctive living spaces. The authentic post-frame construction remains visible in a corner stall now serving as a cozy TV room, while another stall along the central breezeway has been transformed into a modern kitchen. Filled with unique furnishings and mountain charm, Red Barn Retreat showcases high-end vintage décor throughout the century-old structure. A stone fireplace hearth anchors a seating area reminiscent of a retro lounge, a theme that continues into the converted garage recreational room, where a disco ball hangs above the ping pong table, dartboard, and Ms. Pac-Man arcade game. Guests can browse the vinyl collection in the record lounge area and admire the curated selection of fine art. This extraordinary Weaverville rental is truly an art lover’s haven, featuring contemporary paintings, metal and wood sculptures, whimsical ceramics, a mural installation (Courtesy of Gus Cutty), and an extensive library of art books. The expansive 2,300-square-foot layout provides ample space for everyone to rest and recharge, featuring a primary bedroom with a king-size bed and en-suite bathroom, a second bedroom located on the main floor, and an open sleeping loft with three additional beds. Outdoor entertainment abounds at Red Barn Retreat. Enjoy a private hot tub and in-ground swimming pool. Relax year-round, regardless of the weather, in the fully enclosed screened porch where the hot tub resides, along with an inviting sitting area. The fenced pool deck includes a large gas grill and offers the ideal setting for family barbecues and sunny afternoons by the pool. This architectural gem rests on a 3.5-acre estate with thoughtfully designed spaces that encourage relaxation, inc
