About this home
Positioned just 15 minutes from downtown Asheville, this thoughtfully designed mountain retreat combines vibrant, artistic interiors with the amenities today's buyers and vacation rental investors are seeking. Multiple indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, expansive entertainment areas, and colorful custom design elements create a memorable property that stands out in Asheville's highly desirable market. The home features a private hot tub, cedar sauna, fire pit, expansive game room with pool table, arcade games, air hockey, shuffleboard, poker table, roll-and-score, and additional recreational amenities. A fully equipped kitchen, wraparound deck, covered outdoor living areas, electric fireplace, and custom hand-painted murals further enhance the property's appeal while offering an exceptional indoor-outdoor living experience. Conveniently located near Downtown Asheville, West Asheville, the River Arts District, the Biltmore Estate, and the Blue Ridge Parkway, the property provides easy access to the area's renowned dining, breweries, shopping, and outdoor recreation. Offered fully furnished. For the STR investor, this property delivers strong, proven performance in a high-demand submarket. Recent operating history shows average daily rates approaching $500 and annual gross revenue in the six-figure range, with peak months hitting occupancy well above 75%. The property's mix of large-group amenities (sauna, hot tub, arcade-style game room, multiple gathering spaces) positions it to command premium nightly rates against comps in the Asheville, Weaverville, and Leicester submarkets. STR guests are drawn to the area's easy access to Downtown Asheville, the River Arts District, and the Biltmore Estate, along with year-round outdoor recreation on the Blue Ridge Parkway and French Broad River, keeping demand strong across all seasons.
