Vanaprastha sits on more than twenty acres of peaceful mountain land in Penrose, NC. Guests come here for privacy, forest views, and fast access to DuPont State Forest and Pisgah National Forest. It is an ideal location for hiking, mountain biking, and exploring nearby waterfalls.
Decks open from every room, creating an easy connection to the outdoors. Mornings often start with coffee and birdsong. Evenings settle into quiet moments around the fire pit as the sky softens over the ridgelines.
Outside, the property includes a pond, small waterfalls, and a private trail system that winds through the woods. After riding the DuPont or Pisgah bike trails, the outdoor shower offers a refreshing way to reset.
Inside, the great room features a gas fireplace, a wall of windows, and a well-equipped kitchen. The lower level includes two bedrooms, a full bathroom, laundry, and a comfortable family room that gives guests room to spread out.
This home offers a quiet, nature-focused stay close to Brevard, Hendersonville, and some of the best trails in Western North Carolina. It is a peaceful base for adventure and a comfortable place to unwind at the end of each day.
