--Come feel the magic of the Whitemont Lodge. Steeped in history, this beautiful lodge is perfectly nestled on 2.55 acres (approx) old growth forest yet still convenient to Asheville. The lodge was originally built by Asheville's elite businessmen and politicians, as a speakeasy. The property was once part of the land that makes up the Warren Wilson Farm, just down below the lodge. Its interesting history continues through its incarnations as a fine art school/studio camp for adults, then as a girls' tennis camp. Many interesting events have taken place at Whitemont Lodge over the years, including dinner dances, held in the 2000 sq. ft. living room, complete with lives bands and capacity for 150. No cost was spared in the construction consisting of steel eye beams, local river rock, and handmade brick. History collection on file with owner/agent. Serious inquiries only. Zestimate inaccurate - home did not sell in 2015, and appraisals in 2014 and 2015 were $1.3 Million. Many improvements continue to be made on this property.
