Highlights
About This Home
Perched on a generously sunny high plateau over 7.11 private acres, this architectural gem offers stunning panoramic views of Asheville, the iconic Blue Ridge Mountains, and Mount Pisgah behind Biltmore. A unique opportunity to be ten minutes from fine dining and shopping, and also cycle to The Blue Ridge Parkway.
The immense beauty of traveling north of town up Elk Mountain, designated in the 1930s as 'NC Scenic', remains remarkable. This custom-designed home is tucked behind a private gated circular driveway and has been lovingly updated over the decades. The epitome of refined mountain living embraces the seasons as operable walls throughout the home blur the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Experience dawn over Tanbark Ridge & Town Mountain to the east as you sip coffee from your bedroom suite with red-tailed hawks flying below. As the day progresses, find yourself having dinner & cocktails at the other end of the home as you become one with the sunset, just before Asheville's twinkling lights perform. This legacy estate is more than a residence; it is a retreat.
Custom-designed for entertaining, the great room and massive stone fireplace spill into a breathtaking open-designed, extraordinary chef's kitchen. The personal resting wing of the home is a beautiful combination of a wormy chestnut library and modern luxurious sensibilities; extraordinary bathing rooms and large closets. The downstairs family/guest quarters offer privacy, big views, and outdoor access.
Walk among fruit trees to a detached greenhouse and expansive 6-car garage, which could be transformed into a creative studio space or workshop.
