The value of a Blue Ridge landholding is measured by the quality of its topography and its relationship to the skyline, a balance found in abundance across this nearly 79-acre estate. Situated eighteen minutes from downtown Asheville, the acreage is defined by rolling pastures and a vintage Appalachian barn that grounds the property in local history. The existing 3,109-square-foot residence, established in 1978, serves as a refined vantage point for the site’s sweeping vistas. Comprising four bedrooms and two bathrooms, the home is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling chimney of stacked stone harvested directly from the grounds. In a submarket where large, contiguous parcels are increasingly fragmented, this gated perimeter offers a rare opportunity for a permanent legacy retreat or an expansive equestrian pursuit. The structure functions equally well as a primary residence or a sophisticated guest house during the development of a larger compound. Private viewings may be coordinated through Peters & Associates.
About the home
Set amid nearly 79 breathtaking acres in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this exceptional gated estate offers a rare combination of privacy, convenience to Asheville, natural beauty, and vintage Appalachian character. Expansive open pastures, gently rolling topography, and sweeping mountain vistas provide an idyllic setting for a family retreat, equestrian property, or private legacy estate. The property also includes an existing 3,600-square-foot authentic mid-century home built in 1978, featuring a stacked-stone chimney and two wood-burning fireplaces. The striking floor-to-ceiling chimney showcases stacked stone harvested from the property, creating a seamless connection between the home's interior and exterior. Whether enjoyed as a residence, guest house, caretaker's quarters, or future renovation project, the home provides an established presence on the property while allowing the land itself to remain the defining feature. Complementing the home is a classic Appalachian barn, enhancing the property's rich mountain heritage and functionality. Offering an exceptional balance of privacy and accessibility, the estate is located just 18 minutes from Asheville Regional Airport, 20 minutes to Downtown Asheville, and 3.5 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Large contiguous tracts with this combination of usable pastureland, mountain views, and proximity to Asheville are increasingly rare, making a property of this scale, beauty, and accessibility a truly exceptional opportunity to create a lasting mountain legacy.
