A dramatic two-story stone fireplace anchors the main living space, while the chef’s kitchen—with custom cabinetry, high-end appliances and an oversized island—keeps everything open, easy and connected. The main-level primary suite is its own retreat with a spa-like bath and direct outdoor access, while two additional bedrooms and a flexible loft/bonus space await upstairs. And then there’s the outdoor living: more than 2,000 square feet of decks and patios, a screened porch, fenced yard and outdoor shower, all surrounded by the kind of privacy that’s becoming increasingly hard to find. An oversized two-car garage, generous walk-in attic storage and exceptionally functional mud/laundry area handle the practical side of mountain living. Private, architecturally distinctive and surrounded by 33+ acres of your own mountain landscape—yet still within easy reach of Asheville. This isn’t simply a house in the mountains.
