Surrounded by natural beauty yet convenient to Asheville, this one-of-a-kind property offers the rare combination of a luxury mountain retreat, equestrian potential, guest accommodations, and income-producing possibilities. The impressive main lodge is designed for gathering, relaxing, and hosting, with multiple private en-suite bedrooms, expansive living and entertaining spaces, stone wood-burning fireplaces, a game room with bar, library, wine cellar, and inviting spaces throughout. The spacious BlackBerry primary suite feels like its own private retreat with a stone fireplace, kitchenette, luxurious bath, walk-in closet, and private porch overlooking the mountain setting.

The expansive mountain views are truly spectacular, creating a backdrop that changes with every season. For equestrian buyers, the property offers a high-quality Morton horse barn, ample space for horses, and the opportunity to create an exceptional private mountain equestrian retreat.
