Remarks:
Tucked away on a private wooded lane just 7 minutes from downtown Asheville, this rare estate offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a desirable split-bedroom floor plan with 2,165 sq ft of main-level living, plus a 300 sq ft loft, a full unfinished basement, and exceptional additional space including a separate workshop/artist studio, dedicated utility area, and an oversized garage of over 500 sq ft. Dramatic vaulted ceilings create an open, airy feel, while the home’s thoughtful layout provides both comfort and privacy. Surrounded by mature trees, curated native plantings, and abundant wildlife, the setting feels like a private arboretum, yet you’re only 5 minutes to everyday conveniences including Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Publix, and The Fresh Market. This unique property includes a separately deeded, buildable lot with mountain views, offering flexibility for future expansion, guest home, or investment potential. With county taxes only, enjoy significant savings while still being close to everything Asheville has to offer. Thoughtful updates include a new roof (2024), new driveway (2025), four new thermopane sliding glass doors (2023), and two oversized picture windows (2025) that bring in natural light and frame the surrounding landscape. A Stay Dry basement system with transferable warranty adds peace of mind. Inside, enjoy hardwood and tile flooring throughout, a main-level pantry/laundry room, and two fireplaces—including one in the primary bedroom for a cozy retreat. Modern conveniences include a security system and high-speed fiber optic internet. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a giant boulder fire pit, over an acre of fenced yard, and ample space for gardens, a pool, or even a pickleball court. The landscape is a haven for wildlife, where you’ll regularly enjoy everything from hummingbirds to soaring eagles. A truly one-of-a-kind property offering privacy, flexibility, and natural beauty—with no comparable setting this close to downtown Asheville.
