Description

Nestled within the gates of The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, this masterfully crafted mountain estate offers an unparalleled lifestyle of rustic elegance and refined comfort. The residence immediately impresses with its striking architectural silhouette, featuring a harmonious blend of heavy timber, stone, cedar shakes and natural tree bark siding that mirror the natural splendor of its Arden, North Carolina surroundings. Upon entering, the expansive great room serves as a breathtaking centerpiece, defined by soaring wood vaulted ceilings anchored by massive exposed beams and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace that commands attention. Walls of oversized windows frame tranquil views of the lush landscape from every room while bathing the interiors in soft, natural light. This seamless integration of the outdoors continues into the gourmet kitchen - a chef’s sanctuary outfitted with furniture-grade cabinetry, three copper sinks, sprawling granite countertops, and professional-grade appliances. A dedicated beverage center and a large central island make this space as functional for intimate morning coffee as it is for grand-scale entertaining. The oversize primary suite is a private retreat designed for ultimate relaxation, offering its own stacked-stone fireplace, wood vaulted ceiling and direct access to the expansive and private outdoor spaces. Throughout the home, the attention to detail is evident, from the rich hardwood flooring to the custom built-ins and exquisite millwork. The property’s outdoor living areas are truly extraordinary, designed to take full advantage of the community's high-altitude privacy. A massive enclosed sunroom provides a year-round sanctuary, complete with a rugged stone fireplace, a handcrafted custom built bar from locally sourced live edge black walnut, and ample space for lounging or gaming. A wall of sliding doors opens to the meticulously landscaped private grounds featuring a tiered lighted stone waterfall and pond, creating a rhythmic soundtrack for evenings spent around the large custom built-in stone fire pit. The back wall of the sunroom opens onto a large patio with a motorized retractable sun/rain awning, and a custom cabinet enclosed refrigerator and ice maker, perfect for outdoor dining rain or shine. A Kohler generator and Starlink satellite ensure uninterrupted comfortable living. The second floor offers two guest bedrooms each with full bathrooms and ample closets, as well as an office/third guestroom with a full bathroom and walk out attic storage. The office has a custom built black walnut desk and cabinetry. A new roof was installed in 2025 and many mechanicals have been updated including new HVAC units in 2023 and 2021, a new Navien tankless water heater installed in 2026 and a Kohler generator installed in 2026. The LG washer/dryer installed in 2026 convey with the house. Membership at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove grants access to world-class amenities including a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, a sprawling state-of-the-art Wellness Center with indoor and outdoor pools, and the social heartbeat of the community, "The Tavern." Located just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and the vibrant cultural scene of Asheville, this estate represents the pinnacle of luxury living in the Blue Ridge Mountains. An adjoining lot is available for purchase but not included in the price.
