2511 Kanuga Road, Hendersonville, NC

The approach to this Hendersonville estate is defined by a deliberate sense of privacy, where a tree-lined drive introduces a compound that balances mid-century origins with a highly curated contemporary restoration. Originally constructed in 1950, the primary residence and its accompanying structures have been transformed into a sophisticated retreat spanning 4,092 square feet. The interior program, comprising six bedrooms and six bathrooms, moves away from predictable luxury toward a more spirited, artisanal aesthetic, featuring coffered ceilings and light-filled galleries. Beyond the main house, the grounds function as a private resort, anchored by an expansive saltwater pool, a dedicated pool house, and a separate guest cottage suitable for multi-generational requirements. While the Hendersonville submarket has seen a recent influx of modern construction, properties of this vintage that successfully integrate significant acreage with a complete, high-design renovation remain a rare commodity for the discerning collector. Inquiries regarding the specific architectural provenance or requests for a private viewing may be directed to Peters & Associates.
