Hot tub, Firepit, King Bed, Peaceful, Secluded, Pets | Cottage in Alexander
1 Bedroom Cottage in Alexander
Nestled into a hillside in Alexander, NC — 18 minutes from Asheville, and a world apart. This earth-sheltered retreat sits 40% underground, making it naturally quiet, cool in summer, and deeply cozy in winter. Radiant heated floors, morning light through east-facing windows, and a private flagstone patio with hot tub and fire pit perfect for stargazing. The king bedroom is designed for dark nights and deep sleep. Romantic, restorative, and built for people who actually need to unwind.
The Tea House blends modern simplicity with natural charm. Dark siding meets naked concrete walls below. The longest wall faces due east, filled with windows and natural light. Tall doors and ceilings lift you up while the massive walls ground you. The living and dining rooms flow seamlessly into the kitchen, with vibrant artwork, rugs, and accent walls creating an eclectic, welcoming feel. Radiant heated concrete floors keep you warm in winter; the thermal mass keeps things cool in summer.
The couch is twin mattress size — remove the cushions and add sheets for a proper twin guest bed, making the Tea House comfortable for three.
Through the big glass doors, a flagstone patio with hot tub and fire pit awaits — perfect for stargazing. Blueberry bushes grow behind the berm; help yourself. A large pile of firewood is stacked by the Quonset hut — please help yourself for the outdoor fire pit.
