About this home

A Modern Mountain Retreat in Olivette Set at the end of a private road on what may be one of Olivette’s most coveted homesites, this extraordinary custom Modern Mountain home by JADE Mountain Builders pairs breathtaking mountain and French Broad River views with exceptional craftsmanship, privacy, and an unmistakable sense of place. As one of Western North Carolina’s premier custom builders, JADE created this home with a level of detail and character that is immediately apparent. The residence occupies nearly an acre—the first residential lot sold in Olivette, hand-selected by the seller for its exceptional combination of views, privacy, and setting. Natural materials and thoughtful architectural details create a warm, sophisticated mountain aesthetic, from the rich wood siding and custom iron gates to beautifully designed privacy screens. Expansive outdoor living spaces invite you to linger, with generous decking, a large hot tub, dining areas, and a firepit overlooking the private yard and surrounding landscape. Inside, the home is equally inviting. A striking real-stone fireplace anchors the main living space, while the chef’s kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The spacious primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, complemented by the home’s distinctive character and connection to the outdoors. A perfect dog owner's home too, with fully fenced backyard and beautiful wood grained tile flooring for durable and easy care! The lower level adds an entirely separate dimension to the property, featuring a second living area, bedroom, full bathroom, and walkout access to the yard and firepit. A substantial unfinished space of 836sf offers an exciting opportunity to create a home gym, media room, additional bedrooms, studio, or whatever best suits your vision. And then there is Olivette. Known as Asheville’s only Farm to Table community, this remarkable 411-acre planned community and historic farm stretches along the French Broad River, just 6.7 miles from downtown Asheville. This unique agri-hood is home to a vibrant working farm producing vegetables, fruit, and flowers, while offering residents an extraordinary collection of natural amenities. Seven acres of riverfront beach, a private river island, and miles of walking trails wind through the property—some shaded and green through the woods, others following the water. It is a rare setting where the rhythm of the river, the mountains, the farm, and the changing seasons become part of everyday life. A truly special homesite. A completely custom home. An extraordinary community. Residents enjoy access to walking and hiking trails, orchards, community gardens, pickleball court, a private river island with pavilion and fireplace, a fire circle amphitheater, suspended bridge, labyrinth, dog park, playground, and riverfront park. This home offers a lifestyle of nature and leisure in an intentional community. This is mountain living at its most refined—private, connected to nature, and remarkably close to everything Asheville has to offer. "Tucked along the French Broad River near Asheville, North Carolina, lies the neighborhood of our dreams: From the lush open spaces to the picturesque homes to the working farm, Olivette Riverside Community and Farm is full of local food, charm, and community." ~Martha Stewart Living https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_x8KQ9_YAo
