About this home

Perched on one of the highest ridges in Walnut Cove, this brand-new 2025 modern mountain masterpiece delivers the rarest commodity in Western North Carolina: unobstructed, 180-degree panoramic views that stretch from the glowing skyline of downtown Asheville all the way to the ancient spine of the Blue Ridge. On a clear day you can pick out the spire of the Jackson Building and the neon glow of the Battery Park Hotel at twilight. In fall, the entire valley ignites in crimson and gold, framing the city like a living postcard. In winter, the lights of Asheville shimmer below while snow dusts the distant peaks. This is not a view; it’s a front-row seat to the seasons. Step inside and the drama continues. Soaring gable windows flood the open great room with natural light, framing the stone fireplace that rises like a sculptural monument. White-oak beams float overhead, and wide-plank European oak floors flow seamlessly to the expansive glass doors, merging the interior with the large covered veranda. A second outdoor fireplace and built in grill make this space usable for morning coffee with the sunrise over Pisgah or evening cocktails as the city lights flicker on below. The heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen that belongs in a design magazine. Custom cabinetry climbs to the ceiling, complemented by a massive island with seating and additional storage. A full appliance suite, and a massive walk-in pantry make entertaining effortless. The primary suite is a private retreat on the main level, opening directly to a private terrace and those endless views. Two walk-in closets, and a spa bath with freestanding soaking tub and private laundry create a sanctuary you’ll never want to leave. Upstairs, a generous guest suite and bonus room/office each claim their own wing, sharing a lofted space overlooking the great room. Descend the floating staircase (or take the elevator) to the lower level, where entertainment reaches new heights. A bonus room with wet bar can be a theater, game room, or gym. Two guest suites with en-suite baths, lots of storage, and a massive 3-car garage with additional storage and workshop area. Outside, native stone walls cascade down the hillside, blending the architecture into the mountain itself. The paver motor court and copper-accented entry echo the timeless craftsman details that make Walnut Cove homes so coveted. Located just minutes from downtown Asheville yet worlds away from the ordinary, 222 Secluded Hills Lane is more than a home—it’s the ultimate expression of mountain modern living. Jack Nicklaus golf, wellness center, tavern, and 24-hour gated security all come with your Cliffs membership. Some homes have views. This one owns the horizon as the cable-rail decks never obstruct the view. Come see why the photos don’t do it justice. The view has to be experienced in person.
