Set along the 13th fairway of the private Biltmore Forest Country Club, this quietly commanding mountain estate is a study in craftsmanship, privacy and enduring elegance. Reached by a long, gently rising drive through mature trees, the home reveals itself on a flat, sunlit 1.71-acre homesite, where sweeping golf course and mountain views unfold with effortless grace. Designed by PLATT Architecture and built between 2017 and 2019, the stone residence offers approximately 5,000 square feet of finished living space across two levels, with an additional 3,500-square-foot lower level plumbed and planned for future expansion. The architecture is timeless yet forward-looking, Energy Star certified, geothermal heated and cooled, and supported by a whole-house generator, delivering modern performance without compromising aesthetic integrity. Inside, light and volume define the experience. Ten-foot ceilings on the main level rise to vaulted 12-foot ceilings above, while wide-plank solid oak floors, substantial millwork, and Ashley Norton bronze hardware establish a refined, tactile warmth. The great room, with its soaring beamed ceiling, stone fireplace and bespoke cabinetry, opens through French doors to an expansive stone terrace, nearly 50 feet in length, designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living against a backdrop of mountains and fairways. The main-level primary suite is a private sanctuary, offering terrace access, panoramic views, heated marble floors and dual dressing rooms with custom quarter-sawn oak cabinetry. Additional bedroom suites, one more on the main level and three above, including a second primary suite, provide exceptional flexibility for guests or multi-generational living, each with beautifully appointed marble baths and abundant natural light. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen pairs custom Mason Elliott cabinetry with Brazilian granite, professional-grade appliances and a gracious breakfast area overlooking the landscape. It opens to a skylit screened porch with stone fireplace and built-in grill, an all-season retreat equally suited to intimate mornings or elegant evenings. Every detail has been considered, from the home elevator and advanced water filtration to curated lighting, integrated audio and thoughtfully designed service spaces. This is a residence of quiet confidence, where luxury is measured not by excess but by intention.

Gorgeous mountain views over the 13th hole of membership Biltmore Forest Country Club. Sited amidst old growth trees and 1920s mansions of historic significance this "golden horseshoe" location is the most sought after in the Forest. Accessed by a long private drive and sequestered from view from the street it offers views of the historic clubhouse and surounding greens and fairways. A truly unique and ideal dream home site.

R-1
Residential District
The R-1 Residential District encompasses most of the town’s developed residential areas and contains residential structures of historical and architectural significance in a most unique residential environment. The intent of the R-1 District is to preserve and enhance the character of existing neighborhoods and generally to provide a pleasant living environment. These neighborhoods consist of single-family owner occupied detached dwelling units placed on relatively large lots with considerable open spaces between structures, thus creating a low-density residential environment.; Nonresidential uses, including home occupations, have been limited in this District as a means of maintaining the character of these neighborhoods. Likewise, dimensional requirements pertaining to lot size, building setbacks, yard requirements, and height limitations have been established to promote the general welfare and preservation of the community.; Future construction and alteration of existing structures should be oriented at maintaining and enhancing the existing character of the residential neighborhoods. Therefore, structures should be compatible in materials, height, siting, color, texture, scale, and proportion to the other structures in the neighborhood. The R-1 District also contains undeveloped areas to provide locations for future single-family subdivisions.; Consistent with, and to protect the existing character of the neighborhoods in this District, home stays and short term rentals are not allowed.
