505 Barrington Drive, Asheville, NC

About the home

Few new homes in Asheville come with this kind of seclusion. 505 Barrington Drive holds the final position on a quiet cul-de-sac in Poplar Ridge, a gated enclave off Pinners Cove Road near Mills Gap Road in south Asheville, where 1.22 wooded acres keep the world at a gracious distance. Completed in 2026, it was built for the buyer who expects the interiors to be as considered as the setting. The finishes were curated by local designers and their eye is evident from the moment you step into the entrance foyer. The kitchen is the heart of the home. Custom cabinetry by Forest Millwork frames a full suite of Thermador stainless steel appliances, and a substantial island invites slow mornings and long dinners alike. A walk-in pantry keeps the workspace serene. Nearby, a see-through gas fireplace clad in floor-to-ceiling stone anchors both the living and dining rooms, while glass sliding doors open to a covered porch and deck set against the forest. The primary suite rests on the main level with a private ensuite bath, offering effortless single-floor living. A dedicated study provides a quiet room for focused work or an afternoon with a good book. The finished daylight basement is a world of its own for guests. Three bedrooms, one with a private ensuite, surround a generous recreation room with its own laundry, so visitors can settle in for a weekend or a full season. This 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence spans 3,088 heated square feet. The attached two-car garage includes EV charging, and zoned climate control with humidity management keeps every level comfortable. Underground utilities leave the woodland views untouched. For the buyer who has been waiting for a new build worthy of these mountains, the search can end on Barrington Drive.
