Timeless, contemporary, and sophisticated, this striking mountain retreat filled with warm, honeyed wood tones is perched high above West Asheville and conveniently close to downtown, restaurants, and shopping. With breathtaking layered long-range mountain views stretching out for miles and with its exceptional versatility, the property is well suited as a primary residence, a second home, or a successful short-term rental. Blending modern design with classic mountain lodge architecture, the home makes a bold-yet-welcoming impression with dramatic gabled rooflines, a standing-seam metal roof, rich timber accents, and expansive outdoor living spaces designed to capture the surrounding sweeping mountain vistas. Inside, soaring tongue-and-groove wood ceilings, exposed beams, coffered ceilings, and a wood-burning stove create a warm, lodge-like ambiance. The thoughtfully designed kitchen features live-edge polished granite countertops, bark-edged floating shelves, a geometric tile backsplash, and knotty wood cabinetry, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and mountain character. Large windows frame spectacular, layered mountain views from both the main and upper levels, filling the home with natural light and creating a seamless connection to the landscape. Designed for everyday living, entertaining, and peaceful mountain escapes, this exceptional retreat offers a rare combination of modern sophistication, timeless craftsmanship, cozy mountain charm, and unforgettable views. Detached garage with rooftop sun deck and extensive rock work and landscaping. Four-wheel drive recommended, but not required.

Low-Density Residential District
The R-LD Low-Density Residential District is primarily intended to provide locations for low-density residential and related-type development in areas where topographic or other constraints preclude intense urban development. These areas are not likely to have public water and sewer services available, and the minimum required lot area will be one acre unless additional land area is required for adequate sewage disposal. These are environmentally sensitive areas that are characterized by one or more of the following conditions: Steep slopes, fragile soils, or flooding.
