ARRIVAL & FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Set just 17 miles from Asheville and 15 from the Biltmore Estate, the property opens across three levels and over 11,000 square feet of living space, with natural light and upscale finishes carrying through from the moment you arrive. A formal dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows frames the mountain view for shared meals and celebrations.

THE LIVING SPACES
The chef's kitchen anchors the main level, with an adjacent sunroom offering a quiet perch for morning coffee overlooking the pool. A moody bourbon room and a billiards room flank the main living areas, giving the group distinct spaces for both quiet conversation and friendly competition.

THE KITCHEN
The chef's kitchen invites real conversation around the island, with the layout and finishes built for both everyday meals and larger group cooking.

THE SUITES
The home offers nine bedrooms across the main house, sleeping up to 26 guests.

Main Level Bedroom: Two king beds, private ensuite bathroom
Primary Suite (Upper Floor): King bed, full sleeper sofa, private balcony, wet bar, six-person beauty station, sunroom, private ensuite bathroom
Upper Floor Bedroom: King bed, private ensuite bathroom
Upper Floor Bedroom: King bed, private ensuite bathroom
Lower Level Bedroom: King bed
Lower Level Bedroom: Two queen beds
Lower Level Bedroom: Two full beds

An attached two-bedroom, two-bathroom in-law suite offers two queen bedrooms joined by a connecting door, along with quiet workspace, panoramic views, and full privacy from the main house.
The primary suite stands apart even within a home built for grandeur — its own balcony, wet bar, and beauty station make it feel like a true retreat within the retreat.

ENTERTAINMENT
The lower level transforms into a dedicated entertainment floor — arcade games, a karaoke lounge, and its own living room alongside three bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The 3,000-square-foot entertainment barn takes things further with a golf simulator, micro bowling alley, a two-person basketball shooter game, skeeball, arcade games, a poker table, shuffleboard, foosball, and a 20-person private movie theater. The upper level's kids' club, complete with a rock wall and games, gives the youngest guests a world of their own.

YOUR PRIVATE GROUNDS
The deck is built for gathering, with a custom sunken wood-burning fire pit, two sunken hot tubs, and a stargazing dome for clear mountain nights. A former helipad has been turned into a turfed lounge zone with daybeds and yard games, and the backyard offers a shaded kids' playground nestled in the trees alongside a grilling station and bar-top seating overlooking the pool. Along the side of the house, an outdoor bar with barn-style windows is ready for a bartender to serve the group at sunset.

YOUR PRIVATE GOLF COURSE
A custom-designed 9-hole turf short course offers three greens with six pin locations each and three tee boxes, complete with a custom scoreboard for friendly tournaments. A professional pickleball and basketball court sits just beside it, rounding out a private sports complex that few properties anywhere can match.

THE SURROUNDING AREA
Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. and Blue Ghost Brewing Company both offer relaxed afternoons close by, and Fletcher Park provides walking trails and a peaceful creekside setting for a quieter outing. For dinner, Jonny Mac's Lowcountry Grille & BBQ and Surf N Brew bring genuine local character, with Tamarind Thai Cuisine and Arabella Breakfast & Brunch rounding out a strong set of nearby dining options. The WNC Agricultural Center hosts events throughout the year, and the Asheville Regional Airport Overlook makes for an unexpected, fun stop for aviation enthusiasts and kids alike.
