24 S Watchman Drive, Hendersonville, NC

The emergence of Summit Vista marks a sophisticated evolution for the gated Carriage Park community, introducing a mountain-modern aesthetic that prioritizes architectural transparency. Completed in 2025, this 3,367-square-foot residence occupies a rare double lot, offering a degree of seclusion and panoramic layered views seldom found in contemporary mountain developments. The four-bedroom, four-bathroom interior centers on a voluminous main level where a floor-to-ceiling stacked-stone fireplace grounds the space, while expansive sliding glass doors facilitate a fluid transition to the terrace. For the discerning investor, this enclave represents a distinct submarket shift toward lock-and-leave functionality without sacrificing the acreage typically associated with Western North Carolina estates. Its proximity to both historic Hendersonville and Asheville Regional Airport positions the property as an ideal primary or secondary residence for those valuing regional connectivity. The inclusion of six acres of communal green space further ensures the long-term integrity of the immediate landscape. Private viewings may be arranged through Peters & Associates.
