About this home

CHECK OUT THE VIDEO -- Welcome to 40 Walnut Ridge Circle, a custom-built mountain retreat offering 3 bedrooms and 3 baths on nearly 5 acres of private, wooded land at the top of Walnut Ridge in the sought-after Eagle Lake community. This exceptional home combines quality craftsmanship, natural beauty, and thoughtful design in a peaceful, elevated setting. Step inside to a stunning great room with cathedral ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, filling the space with natural light and showcasing the surrounding landscape. A stone fireplace creates a warm focal point, perfect for cozy evenings. The home features Australian cypress flooring, custom cherry cabinetry in the kitchen and primary suite, and maple cabinetry throughout the rest of the home, highlighting the attention to detail and high-end finishes. The layout is designed with privacy in mind, offering comfortable separation for guests and family. The upper level includes a spacious family room along with a bonus office/den or additional guest space, providing flexibility for a variety of needs. The lower level is a true standout, featuring a woodworker’s dream workshop—fully outfitted and available for purchase with tools and equipment—along with a separate garage for additional storage or workspace. Located within the Eagle Lake community, residents enjoy access to a 32-acre private lake, ideal for swimming, fishing, boating and beach access, all while being just minutes from downtown Brevard, DuPont State Forest, Pisgah National Forest, and a short drive to the Asheville Regional Airport. With its combination of privacy, craftsmanship, and access to both nature and community amenities, 40 Walnut Ridge Circle offers a rare opportunity to experience the best of mountain living.
