About this home
Set high above the valley floor along the storied Elk Mountain Scenic Highway, this offering presents a rare opportunity to shape your own mountain legacy. Perched at elevations above 3,000 feet, the land unfolds across a dramatic landscape of ridgelines, gentle saddles, and elevated knolls—each naturally positioned to capture sweeping, year-round views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Defined by both scale and topography, the property is enriched by mature hardwood forests that provide privacy and seasonal color, while the rolling terrain reveals multiple natural homesites with exceptional view corridors. Subtle elevation changes, quiet hollows, and winding streams add dimension and texture, creating a setting ideal for thoughtful land stewardship. The landscape invites the creation of a signature mountain residence complemented by private trails, curated gardens, and outdoor living spaces immersed in nature. Final acreage to be determined. Despite its remarkable sense of seclusion, the property is only minutes from Asheville’s celebrated dining, arts, healthcare, and everyday conveniences, including the Country Club of Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway. This balance of elevation, accessibility, and natural grandeur is increasingly rare. Whether envisioned as a private mountaintop retreat, multi-generational compound, or long-term investment, this offering provides the freedom to create something enduring in one of Western North Carolina’s most iconic high-elevation corridors. A separate MLS listing is available offering additional contiguous acreage for those seeking to expand the scale of their vision.
