Perched on 9.59 wooded acres in Swannanoa, this one-of-a-kind mountain retreat is offered fully furnished, pairing long-range Blue Ridge views with an unmatched collection of amenities—and a proven track record as a successful short-term rental. Just 25 minutes from downtown Asheville and 20 minutes from downtown Black Mountain, the property strikes the rare balance of privacy, convenience, and exceptional amenities. The main level is filled with natural light, featuring soaring two-story ceilings, clerestory windows, rows of skylights, and vaulted tongue-and-groove wood ceilings. The open-concept living and dining areas center around a fireplace and open through walls of glass doors to an expansive deck with glass railings, designed to take in the mountain views from nearly every angle. The chef’s kitchen is made for gathering, with abundant cherry cabinetry, glass-front display cabinets, granite countertops, a large center island with cooktop, two sinks, stainless appliances, and skylights overhead. With 7 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, and 2 half baths across three levels, the home offers exceptional flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or continued rental use. The lower level is built for entertaining, featuring a dedicated theatre room with tiered cinema seating and a wet bar, plus a game room with arcade games, foosball, shuffleboard, and a bar-height counter overlooking the trees. Wellness is woven throughout, with an infrared sauna, a steam shower, a covered hot tub, and a gorgeous outdoor fire pit. Charming spiral staircases, bedrooms with built-ins, and a secret kid's hideaway room add to this property's unique character. Outdoors, a converted carport game area offers ping pong, billiards, darts, and hanging egg chairs, while a stone outdoor fireplace with mountain views and a gazebo create the perfect spot for evenings under the stars. Whether you’re seeking a private mountain residence, a turnkey investment, or both, this property offers space, views, and amenities rarely found so close to town.
