About this home

Life in Asheville's most coveted gated communities rarely comes with this kind of accessibility — and 39 Windover Drive delivers both effortlessly. Positioned within Poplar Ridge just steps from the community park and conveniently close to the main gate, this expansive three-level residence offers the best of private, gated living without sacrificing the everyday ease that makes South Asheville one of Western North Carolina's most desirable addresses. Whole Foods, Publix, Ingles, local dining, boutique shopping, and the Blue Ridge Parkway are all within minutes — the kind of proximity that transforms a luxury home into a luxury lifestyle. Across more than 5,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, the home balances impressive scale with genuine livability. The main level sets the tone immediately: rich hardwood floors, a dramatic two-story great room anchored by a gas fireplace and custom built-ins, formal dining, and a private office suited for remote work or quiet focus. A main-level guest suite provides discreet accommodations for visitors, while the chef's kitchen serves as the true heart of the home — outfitted with a Wolf cooktop and professional vented hood, KitchenAid double wall ovens, Bosch dishwasher, an oversized island, and two walk-in pantries engineered for serious entertaining and everyday function alike. Upstairs, the primary suite is a private sanctuary unto itself — a generous bedroom with sitting area and fireplace, a dedicated four-seasons room currently serving as a home gym, a spa-inspired bath with jetted soaking tub and tiled shower, and a walk-in closet built for a full wardrobe. Additional bedrooms offer both ensuite and shared bath configurations, adapting naturally to growing families or multigenerational living. The lower level is where the home shifts into full entertainment mode. A dedicated private theater, game room with wet bar, additional bedroom or bonus room, and full bath create a complete secondary living environment — with direct access to the fenced backyard when the gatherings move outside. The outdoor spaces are equally considered: a large back deck, a brick patio framed by a wood-burning fireplace, and raised garden beds set a scene that's as suited to a casual evening as a curated dinner party. A three-car main-level garage, mature landscaping, and storage shed complete a home that handles daily life as gracefully as it handles a crowd. For buyers seeking luxury gated communities in Asheville NC, walkable access to South Asheville amenities, and a home that truly lives as well as it presents — 39 Windover Drive is a rare and compelling answer.
