Set on two parcels totaling 13.38 acres, this custom-built mountain retreat has been lovingly maintained by the same owner for more than 40 years and offers the kind of privacy, craftsmanship, and year-round mountain views that are increasingly hard to find—especially this close to downtown Asheville, just 15 minutes away. Tucked at the end of the road, the property feels incredibly secluded and peaceful, with a rhododendron-lined driveway creating a beautiful sense of arrival as you wind into the estate. Inside, the home is filled with thoughtful details and timeless materials. The primary suite features reclaimed wood and heart beams from the historic Sayles Bleachery, bringing warmth, history, and character into the space. Custom cabinetry can be found throughout the home, reflecting the care and precision of an owner with a background in luxury homebuilding. Two Vermont Castings Defiant Encore wood stoves anchor the main living areas, while a geothermal heat pump provides efficient heating and cooling year-round. Additional features include a central vacuum system and a newly installed DSC alarm system. Outdoors, the property continues to impress with a serene custom water feature built from stones found on-site, a large barn, garden space, and medicinal herbs growing throughout the property. A full list of identified herbs has been attached to the MLS documents for reference. The land itself is a rare combination of privacy and practicality, with multiple access points from two different roads and terrain that is unusually accessible and buildable for mountain property, making future construction and development significantly easier than many steep or difficult-to-access parcels in the area. The original homesite parcel includes the residence and more than 5 acres of usable land with one additional building site. The second parcel offers the potential for three or more additional homesites, with the possibility of stunning 360-degree mountain views through selective tree trimming. Located within Limestone Township, which follows a one-home-per-acre guideline, the property presents exceptional flexibility for a private estate, multigenerational compound, family retreat, or future development opportunity. Trails and dirt roads wind throughout the land, creating a peaceful setting that feels both grounded in nature and highly functional. Properties offering this level of craftsmanship, usable acreage, privacy, accessibility, and long-term potential this close to Asheville are increasingly rare. The two PINs are being sold together only.
