A well maintained mountain road leads you to this private retreat, where two contiguous parcels total 7.41 acres and the views are what buyers dream about: long range, southwest facing, and protected, with layer upon layer of Blue Ridge Mountains stretching to the horizon. Sunsets here are an event, and hummingbirds swarm the feeders all summer long. Best of all, this peaceful setting is less than 20 minutes from downtown Asheville. A level entry courtyard framed by modern landscape design welcomes you home. Inside, a light filled two story foyer with glass paneled entry door, sidelights, and transom windows sets the tone, while graceful archways guide you into the open living areas. Walls of windows and glass doors pull the mountain scenery into every gathering space and open to a covered porch with cable railing, tongue and groove wood ceiling, and that unforgettable view. The chef's kitchen is as functional as it is striking, featuring a GE Monogram built in refrigerator, gas cooktop with stainless island hood, custom cabinetry with glass display uppers, built in wine storage, a walk in pantry, and corner windows over the sink overlooking the trees. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area and out to the deck, making entertaining effortless. The primary suite is a true sanctuary. A vaulted hip ceiling rises above windows on all sides, so you wake up surrounded by mountain views. The high end primary bath features a large soaking tub positioned to take in the scenery, along with a bidet. A private sauna completes the spa at home experience. Practical features match the beauty here. A whole house generator has proven its worth over the years, offering true peace of mind in the mountains. The oversized two car garage provides generous storage, and the basement level offers flexible space with its own exterior access and entry, ideal for a workshop, studio, gym, or future expansion. The neighborhood offers hiking trails right outside your door, and the easy, well kept road makes year round access simple. Furniture is negotiable with some exceptions, so you could settle in almost immediately. Two contiguous parcels, protected long range views, thoughtful design, and downtown Asheville just minutes away. Properties that offer all four rarely come along. Schedule your showing today.

OU
Open Use District
The OU Open Use District is established as a district in which all uses are allowed by right, except for certain uses that are regulated as conditional uses so as to ensure that neighborhood impact is mitigated. Additionally, those uses which are specific to the Airport Industry District (AI) are excluded from the OU Open Use District. The neighborhood impact from conditional uses will be mitigated through the use of minimum specific site standards combined with general standards which provide the flexibility to impose a higher level of specific site standards dependent upon the degree of neighborhood impact. No zoning permit shall be required for permitted uses in the OU Open Use District.
