A Private Mountain Estate Above Asheville A Masterpiece of Light, Landscape, and Luxury Perched at an elevation of 3,600 feet, this extraordinary mountain estate captures sweeping sunrise-to-sunset, long-range views over the city of Asheville and the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains. It is atop one of the most… Read More commanding vantage points in Asheville. From the first light of day rising over Mount Mitchell to the final glow of evening settling over twinkling city lights, every moment here is framed by nature’s grandeur. This estate has a sweeping 300 degree panoramic view spanning layered Blue Ridge horizons to the distant glow of the city below. It was designed for those who seek privacy, scale and distinction. This is a true trophy residence--rarely available and nearly impossible to replicate. Wake to fireside coffee on the eastern covered terrace as the morning sun spills across layered mountain ridgelines. As dusk arrives, gather with friends and family to toast unforgettable sunsets, where sky and landscape dissolve into a living canvas of color and light. Designed for casually elegant living, this residence is a rare collaboration between architect Jim Samsel and Morgan-Keefe Builders. The result is a one-of-a-kind home where refined craftsmanship meets modern mountain sophistication. Antique warehouse beams, thoughtfully sourced, lend warmth and character to the clean architectural lines, while expansive French doors throughout dissolve the boundary between indoor and outdoor living. The home is appointed with the finest finishes and systems, including high-end appliances, advanced mechanical infrastructure, and four generous garages—each element curated to support both luxury and performance. Beyond the interiors, the grounds unfold into a private botanical sanctuary. Over 6,000 curated plantings envelop the estate, anchored by an exceptional collection of Japanese maples representing a diverse range of species, textures, and seasonal color. Blooming florals and layered landscaping create a dynamic display that evolves throughout the year, offering continuous beauty across all four seasons. The setting evokes the rare feeling of a tropical rainforest nestled within the mountains—lush, immersive, and profoundly serene. Outdoor living is elevated to an art form, with multiple terraces, gathering spaces, and two outdoor fireplaces designed for year-round enjoyment. Complementing the estate are thoughtfully designed outbuildings that transform wellness into an experience—ideal for fitness, recovery, and cold plunge immersion. The spa sanctuary is nothing short of extraordinary. A custom-designed sauna features a full viewing wall framing unobstructed vistas of Mount Mitchell, allowing you to unwind while immersed in the natural landscape. The adjoining spa is crowned with a Rolls-Royce-inspired starlight ceiling, meticulously crafted to mirror the night sky beyond—creating a tranquil, immersive retreat unlike any other. Located within a private gated community just eight minutes from downtown Asheville, the property offers effortless access to exceptional schools, leading healthcare, outdoor recreation, and a vibrant culinary and arts scene. This is more than a home—it is an experience of place, a sanctuary of design, and an invitation to live fully immersed in beauty, comfort, and timeless mountain elegance. Read Less
