170 Cape Martin Circle, Hendersonville, NC

The Skytop Farm community in Hendersonville offers a particular brand of mountain seclusion, defined by the proximity of the French Broad River and the stillness of the surrounding woodland. Occupying a private cul-de-sac, this 2008 residence spans 4,961 square feet, providing a substantial footprint of four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The architectural language is one of permanence, characterized by oak flooring, stout pillars, and arched transitions that ground the interior spaces. A thoughtful integration of natural materials extends to the exterior, where an Ipe wood deck overlooks a manicured lawn and a stone-clad firepit area. For the discerning collector of regional real estate, the Hendersonville submarket continues to attract interest for its ability to offer significant acreage and privacy while remaining accessible to Asheville’s cultural center. This property represents a balanced acquisition for those prioritizing quietude and structural integrity over the transience of modern trends. Private viewings may be arranged through Peters & Associates.
