About this home

Positioned along the 13th fairway of the private, member-owned Wolf Laurel Country Club and set at an elevation of approximately 4,100 feet, this distinctive mid-century modern home offers a rare blend of architectural character, golf course frontage, and turnkey convenience within one of Western North Carolina’s premier mountain communities.

Designed to emphasize natural light and connection to the outdoors, the home features soaring vaulted ceilings, expansive walls of glass, and an open, flowing layout that brings the surrounding landscape into the living space from nearly every angle. The dramatic great room is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and opens to an expansive deck overlooking the course. The open-concept design flows into the kitchen and dining areas, with multiple access points to expansive decking that extends the living space outdoors.

A defining feature of the property is its unique golf course and mountain corridor view. The home’s positioning captures a layered perspective—following the 13th fairway across the green, over the 14th tee box, and continuing down the 14th fairway toward the surrounding mountain ridgelines. While more focused in width, this alignment creates a dynamic and visually engaging setting rarely found in the community.

With approximately 550 feet of golf course frontage, the property offers an exceptional sense of openness and space. The ~1.75-acre homesite is notably large for Wolf Laurel and features a gentle, usable topography—an uncommon combination at this elevation. Mature hardwoods, rhododendron, and native landscape elements provide a private, park-like setting with natural separation from neighboring homes, while small natural streams enhance the property’s character and sense of tranquility.

Offered fully furnished, the home conveys with all contents, providing a true turnkey opportunity for immediate enjoyment, second-home use, or continued vacation rental potential. Vacation rentals are not prohibited within the community, subject to applicable guidelines and restrictions.

Well-proportioned bedrooms and flexible living areas provide comfort and versatility for both everyday living and hosting guests, offering a balance of openness and privacy.

Located within the gated Wolf Laurel community, the property offers access to year-round recreation including golf, skiing at Hatley Pointe, dining at Smoke and Timber, and extensive hiking and biking trails, including access to the Appalachian Trail. Additional amenities may be available through optional memberships at the Wolf Laurel Country Club and Village Club. Wolf Laurel is approximately 27 miles from Asheville, providing convenient access to a vibrant regional destination known for its craft breweries, diverse dining scene, live music, and year-round entertainment.

Combining architectural distinction, elevation, golf course frontage, and a uniquely framed mountain view, this property represents a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive mountain retreat.
