49 Arabella Lane, Arden, NC

The elevation of Waightstill Mountain provides a definitive vantage point for this contemporary residence, where the architecture serves as a frame for panoramic views of the South Asheville landscape. Completed in 2023, the 3,137-square-foot home occupies a private acre, utilizing an open-concept floor plan that integrates a primary suite and a secondary lower-level suite. This configuration, comprising four bedrooms and four bathrooms, offers a practical solution for multigenerational living or long-term guests. The interior is defined by integrated smart technology, including fiber-optic connectivity and automated climate and security systems. In the Arden submarket, buyers are increasingly prioritizing new construction that offers this specific caliber of technical infrastructure alongside immediate access to mountain topography. While much of the region’s inventory requires significant modernization, this property represents a turnkey acquisition for those seeking the seclusion of the ridgeline without compromising on modern efficiency. Private viewings may be arranged through Peters & Associates.
