About the home
Welcome to 631 Elk Mountain Scenic Hwy, a striking work of architecture masterfully crafted by award-winning Red Tree Builders. Positioned on a pristine 4.89-acre lot just minutes from downtown Asheville, this 4,628-square-foot sanctuary beautifully synthesizes Western North Carolina's rich creative heritage with cutting-edge sustainable engineering. The home's exterior makes a bold architectural statement, blending a resilient Sentrigard standing seam metal roof with thermally modified Thermory Benchmark Pine siding. Step across the elevated entry walkway into a main level of voluminous, sun-drenched living space. Anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace and wrapped in locally sourced white oak hardwood floors, the open-concept layout frames breathtaking, long-range views of downtown Asheville and the Blue Ridge Mountains through soaring walls of glass. The gourmet kitchen is an epicurean masterpiece, showcasing a premium Fisher & Paykel appliance package, integrated custom millwork, and luxury Caesarstone quartz countertops. The main floor includes a luxurious primary suite, a dedicated home office, a walk-in pantry, mudroom, and laundry room. From the living area, step outside onto the expansive upper viewing deck to soak in the mountain backdrop. Below, the walk-out lower level unfolds as an expansive multi-use retreat, complete with a generous media and play area, and a magnificent tiered deck that steps beautifully into the hillside landscape. This level is thoughtfully designed to include the option to convert the flexible bonus room into a fourth ensuite bedroom. Enhancing its long-term accessibility, the architectural layout also features dedicated space already allocated for a future residential elevator. Situated within Elk View, a community of 25 environmentally conscious mountain homes framing endless long-range vistas, this property perfectly balances Asheville's creative spirit with strict Passive House principles. The home is engineered for peak wellness and net-zero efficiency, featuring advanced 24/7 air purification and a lifetime, transferable energy-use guarantee. More than just a community, Elk View is an invitation to experience a sophisticated, forward-thinking lifestyle where modern architectural design and sustainable mountain living converge in perfect harmony.
