Embrace refined mountain living in this striking contemporary estate, where serenity and sophistication converge atop a rare flat mountaintop setting. Sweeping 180-degree Blue Ridge views unfold through expansive walls of glass, while timeless craftsmanship grounds the design. The living room stuns with soaring 20-foot ceilings, hand-hewn 125-year-old beams reclaimed from a Canadian barn, exposed custom metal supports and a dramatic stacked-stone fireplace with a concrete hearth. The gourmet kitchen is equally compelling, appointed with Thermador stainless steel appliances, Italian quartzite countertops and bespoke rustic alder cabinetry. A walk-in pantry and coffee bar, concealed behind a sliding knotty alder barn door, add function and charm. Flowing effortlessly into the dining area and sunroom with its stone fireplace, the home is designed for connection and entertaining. The main-level primary suite is a private retreat with mountain views, an oversized shower and a custom walk-in closet. Upstairs, two en-suite bedrooms feature artisanal tile and refined finishes. Outdoors, more than four acres offer landscaped gardens, trails, natural stone features and a fenced vegetable garden, all within the gated conservation community of Couch Mountain. This mountaintop property is conveniently 15 minutes from Asheville Airport, and halfway in between Asheville and Hendersonville for quick and easy access to both communities. With community-allowed seven-day rentals, this home is ideal for a lock-and-leave lifestyle with opportunities for potential income when not in use.
