This residence in Gerton represents a departure from the conventional mountain vernacular, defined by a deliberate interplay between expansive glazing and high-volume, wood-clad interiors. Built in 1983 and encompassing 3,889 square feet, the four-bedroom, six-bathroom home is positioned on 22.55 acres of dense Western North Carolina woodland. The architecture emphasizes verticality, anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone hearth and a main level that transitions to an elevated terrace designed for significant outdoor engagement. A secondary terrace level, finished with polished concrete floors and exposed beams, offers a textural contrast to the airier living spaces above. In a submarket where privacy often comes at the expense of infrastructure, this estate is notable for its lack of restrictive covenants and direct access via paved roads, bypassing the logistical challenges typical of high-elevation acreage. This accessibility, paired with substantial acreage, provides a level of autonomy rarely found within reach of regional hubs. Private viewings may be coordinated through Peters & Associates.

About the home

Set on 22.55 acres in the mountains of Western North Carolina, 2752 Gerton Highway offers a distinctive mountain retreat with 3,889 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 6 baths and exceptional indoor-outdoor living. Soaring wood-clad ceilings, walls of windows and abundant natural light frame the surrounding mountain landscape, while multiple walkouts connect the home to expansive decks, covered and open-air gathering spaces, a fire feature and hot tub. The fully above-ground terrace level creates an entirely different living experience, with a second kitchen, polished concrete floors, exposed beams and flexible spaces for guests, recreation or work-from-home needs. Solar panels and three Tesla Powerwalls add another notable feature, while a detached outbuilding provides additional storage. Surrounded by mature trees, natural rock formations and room to explore, the property offers privacy without giving up access to the destinations that make this part of Western North Carolina so desirable. Approximately 33 minutes to downtown Asheville, 20 minutes to Lake Lure, 15 minutes to Chimney Rock, 30 Minutes to Hendersonville, and 40 minutes to Asheville Regional Airport, making it well positioned for a primary residence, mountain getaway or multigenerational retreat. Sellers intend to retain select personal and family pieces, with most furnishings available through separate negotiation with an acceptable offer. Schedule your private showing today.
