Defining modern luxury in Asheville, this home is a custom-built masterpiece that is perfectly situated within the prestigious gates of The Cliffs at Walnut Cove. This architectural marvel overlooks the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course with the Blue Ridge Mountains serving as a breathtaking backdrop. The home’s design is a study in light and scale, featuring soaring ceilings and a staggering number of windows that immerse the interior in natural radiance. Most notably, the residence boasts three of the largest single-pane windows found in any residential property in North America, blurring the line between the refined interior and the rugged mountain landscape.
The main level is anchored by a primary suite of unmatched scale, thoughtfully designed with a personal sitting room, a custom-crafted bath suite, and an expansive walk-in closet. Designed for both grand entertaining and effortless hosting, the home offers an abundance of guest rooms and multi-use spaces throughout. The lower level serves as a private sanctuary of its own, featuring a 1,500-bottle wine cellar and dedicated space for an in-house caretaker. From the sleek steel architecture to the high-efficiency geothermal systems, every detail of this estate reflects a commitment to functional elegance.
Beyond the threshold, the property transitions into an outdoor oasis complete with a private deck and large fire pit, all while offering front-row views of the course. Residents enjoy world-class community amenities including a sprawling wellness center, tennis courts, and miles of private hiking trails. Offering the rare combination of high-altitude privacy and urban accessibility, this quintessential mountain retreat is located a mere ten minutes from the Asheville Regional Airport.
