Set amid nearly 79 breathtaking acres in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this exceptional gated estate offers a rare combination of privacy, convenience to Asheville, natural beauty, and vintage Appalachian character. Expansive open pastures, gently rolling topography, and sweeping mountain vistas provide an idyllic setting for a family retreat, equestrian property, or private legacy estate. The property also includes an existing 3,600-square-foot authentic mid-century home built in 1978, featuring a stacked-stone chimney and two wood-burning fireplaces. The striking floor-to-ceiling chimney showcases stacked stone harvested from the property, creating a seamless connection between the home's interior and exterior. Whether enjoyed as a residence, guest house, caretaker's quarters, or future renovation project, the home provides an established presence on the property while allowing the land itself to remain the defining feature. Complementing the home is a classic Appalachian barn, enhancing the property's rich mountain heritage and functionality. Offering an exceptional balance of privacy and accessibility, the estate is located just 18 minutes from Asheville Regional Airport, 20 minutes to Downtown Asheville, and 3.5 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Large contiguous tracts with this combination of usable pastureland, mountain views, and proximity to Asheville are increasingly rare, making a property of this scale, beauty, and accessibility a truly exceptional opportunity to create a lasting mountain legacy.
