About this home
Elevated, protected long-range mountain views at approximately 2,470 feet—offered across nearly 8 contiguous acres with permanent view security. This exceptional property combines two contiguous lots spanning from upper paved road frontage to a secondary lower road access, creating a rare opportunity for uninterrupted, south-facing, layered mountain views overlooking the surrounding ridgelines and distant waters of Lake Lure far below. Because both parcels convey together, the view corridor is permanently protected from future development. Located at 100 Wolf Pen Road within the gated Gateway Mountain community, the property offers multiple ideal building sites, flexible driveway placement, and long-term privacy rarely found at this elevation. Despite nearly 8 acres of land, annual HOA dues apply to only one lot due to contiguous ownership. Gateway Mountain is a private, nature-focused community featuring preserved green space, waterfalls, hiking trails, and resident-only lakes and ponds. Site-built homes are required (minimum heated square footage of 1,275), maintaining architectural quality and long-term value throughout the community. Just minutes from Old Fort and within easy reach of Black Mountain and Asheville, this location offers the balance luxury buyers seek: elevation, views, privacy, and access to outdoor recreation, dining, and culture—without sacrificing convenience.
