299 Webb Cove Road, Asheville, NC

In the storied enclave of Webb Cove, this 1965 residence represents a rare convergence of mid-century modern intellectualism and the pastoral serenity of the North Asheville landscape. Designed by architect Charles Sappenfeld, the home sits on three acres of cultivated grounds, featuring a mature arboretum of heirloom species and a private creek. The 4,013-square-foot interior maintains its architectural integrity through soaring vaulted ceilings and expansive glass, while contemporary updates to the kitchen and the introduction of a light-filled sunroom elevate the living experience. With three bedrooms and five bathrooms, the floor plan emphasizes a connection to the outdoors, underscored by refinished hardwoods and dual wood-burning fireplaces. In a submarket where large, level acreage is increasingly scarce near the Blue Ridge Parkway, this property offers a degree of privacy and horticultural history seldom found within minutes of the city center. The primary suite, complemented by a dedicated private office, serves as a quiet retreat overlooking the estate’s diverse gardens. Private viewings are arranged exclusively through Peters & Associates.

About the home

A rare blend of architecture, acreage, and Asheville history, this mid-century modern custom home designed by Charles Sappenfeld Architect is tucked into the storied Webb Cove community, just minutes from North Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Set on three beautiful acres with mountain views, the property unfolds with abundant sunshine, a broad flat lawn, mature woodland, a babbling creek and an impressive collection of heirloom plant species cultivated over the years. Multiple sunny areas offer wonderful opportunities for vegetable, flower and cutting gardens—or simply room to enjoy the land. Inside, the home's distinctive mid-century design is complemented by thoughtful updates and an easy connection to the outdoors. The renovated kitchen features high-end appliances and opens to the dining area and comfortable den with a wood-burning stove. A light-filled sunroom brings the surrounding gardens into view, while the dramatic living room offers soaring vaulted ceilings and a second wood fireplace. The primary suite includes a private office with built-in desk and an en-suite bath. Newly refinished hardwood floors welcome you on the main level. There is a 3BR septic permit, but there are additional rooms that can be used for sleep/office/flex areas. For those who need space for cars, gear, creative pursuits or serious hobbies, the property is exceptionally well equipped with a main level garage and an additional workshop/garage and ample parking in both the front driveway and the back driveway. There is access to the Mountains to Sea trail right up Webb Cove Road for the outdoor enthusiast. Private and peaceful without feeling remote, this special Webb Cove property offers something increasingly difficult to find in Asheville: three usable, sun-filled acres, architectural character, established gardens and room to truly spread out—all within easy reach and biking distance to Merrimon Avenue, downtown Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
