Set within a landscape of open pastures, quiet woodlands and a tranquil pond, this remarkable property presents a rare canvas upon which to create an estate of distinction. The land itself is a study in harmony, offering multiple premier build sites that capture pastoral charm and long-range mountain vistas. Whether envisioned as a grand primary residence, a multi-generational compound or a private retreat, the possibilities are as expansive as the acreage itself.

The gentle roll of the land creates a landscape that is functional and picturesque, offering a rare combination of usability and visual drama. Despite its serene setting, the property enjoys enviable proximity to Asheville. Within minutes, one can access the city’s celebrated dining scene, cultural richness and everyday conveniences, while returning home to a sanctuary that feels worlds apart. Here, seclusion and accessibility converge in a way that is uncommon. This is more than a property—it is a legacy waiting to be realized. A place where land, vision and lifestyle unite to create something enduring. For those seeking an estate of uncommon character and potential in the heart of the Blue Ridge, this 47-acre offering stands without parallel.
