A rare offering on four serene acres in the heart of Biltmore Forest, this classic stone ranch presents an exceptional balance of timeless architecture, generous scale, and remarkable potential. Set among mature trees, the home offers enduring construction and a gracious layout ready to be restored, reimagined, or transformed into a legacy estate.
An expansive front porch welcomes you into sunlit interiors with three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, defined by warm natural materials and views of the surrounding woodland. The lower level features a finished second living area with kitchen, bath, and separate entrance—ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or a private office. Spacious rooms and flexible spaces provide a strong foundation for renovation or expansion.
Outdoors, the wooded acreage offers rare in-town privacy just minutes from Biltmore Village and downtown Asheville. Whether thoughtfully restored or boldly redesigned, this property is an extraordinary opportunity to create something truly special in one of North Carolina’s most sought-after communities.
