510 Cloud Top Way, Arden, NC

About the home

Soaring above the Blue Ridge Mountains in The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, Asheville’s only private gated golf community, 510 Cloud Top Way delivers year-round, long-range mountain views from virtually every room in the house. Completed in 2023 and crafted by Dillard-Jones Builders, a Preferred Builder with The Cliffs and interiors by Tribus Interior Design, this 7,400+ square-foot residence on 1.07 manicured acres is as technically sophisticated as it is visually striking. The stacked stone and cedar exterior, cedar-shake roof, and blue flagstone entry set a tone of grounded, intentional luxury — then the steel entry door opens, and the scale of the two-story great room, exposed steel beams, and a wall of expansive mountain views take over. The main level is designed for the way people actually live. A kitchen outfitted with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances anchors the open floor plan, featuring an 11' x 5' island, solid quartz backsplash, and a concealed pantry stocked with a second Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine cooler. The dining and great room flow seamlessly to a fully outfitted outdoor deck with a built-in Sedona gas grill, retractable phantom screens, and IPE decking — an extension of the home living space, with protected views of Pisgah National Forest and sweeping sightlines to downtown Asheville and the Biltmore Estate. Two dedicated home offices — one with custom-soundproofed walls — meet the demands of modern professional life without sacrificing the view. The primary suite is a masterclass in quiet luxury: coffered ceilings, French doors to the private deck, and a custom floating king bed. The spa bathroom continues the standard with radiant heated marble floors, a zero-entry steam shower with treetop views, a Bain Ultra soaking tub, and a marble wardrobe island anchoring the expansive primary closet. The lower level fully expands the home's personality. A beamed media room with a MadVR Envy video processor and wall screen anchors the space, with a bar kitchenette with a Marvel keg refrigerator, waterfall quartz island, and glass-front Sub-Zero, and a temperature-controlled glass wine cellar steps away. On one end, a dedicated gym with epoxy concrete floors and separate HVAC, and a guest suite with en suite bath. On the other end, another primary guest suite with en suite bath, a bunk suite sleeping four, and an additional guest suite — space for family, guests, or full-time multigenerational living, all with the same long-range views. Infrastructure is equally uncompromising: a 48KW Kohler whole-house generator, Savant smart lighting and sound, three-zone Lennox HVAC, three Navien on-demand water systems, FloLogic leak detection, Ultravation air filtration, EV charger, home elevator, and a Savant-integrated exterior sound system including a firepit with hidden speakers. Where the mountains meet masterful design, 510 Cloud Top Way stands in a category of its own. A club membership at The Cliffs is available for purchase with this property giving you access to all seven communities.
