About this home

Experience a lifestyle that offers the perfect harmony of serene, rustic charm and suburban convenience. This picture-perfect log home provides a true retreat, allowing you to wake up to the sound of birdsong rather than traffic. You can start your morning on the porch and still enjoy a quick trip to South Asheville’s premier shopping, dining, schools, and businesses, as well as nearby recreation at the Arboretum and along the French Broad River.

Approaching the home, a paved, forked driveway offers dual-access options: take the lower path to the secure, stone-accented two-car garage, or follow the upper path for a direct, level-entry arrival to the main floor. The floor plan is meticulously designed, prioritizing the convenience of main-level living without sacrificing space. The log construction of this home serves as a sanctuary of comfort, providing a sense of warmth and security that is difficult to find in conventional construction. . The heart of the residence is a sun-splashed great room and dining area anchored by a stacked-stone gas fireplace and multi-tier, southeast-facing windows that frame tranquil woodland views.The open layout provides an effortless transition to the kitchen and dining areas, making it ideal for both quiet evenings and hosting guests.

This kitchen perfectly balances rustic timber beams with sleek, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and a designer light fixture. The oversized island provides plenty of prep space and a social hub for the home, making it as functional as it is beautiful.

Positioned on the main level for maximum accessibility, the primary bedroom features an integrated ensuite bath and a spacious layout. The room is anchored by beautiful wood ceilings and a cooling fan, offering a quiet, functional escape tucked away from the main living areas.

The upper level offers a unique and versatile retreat. In addition to the large, primary-sized bedroom and full bath, a spacious loft nestles at the apex of the gabled roof windows; this private "treehouse" is perfectly suited for a home office, an inspiring library, or a playroom.

The lifestyle extends outdoors to an expansive wrap-around deck and a covered porch where you can fully immerse yourself in the beauty of the forest.

The heated basement provides plentiful storage and could easily transform to a workshop.

Situated within an upscale, 300-acre gated community with 22 acres of common area, the neighborhood feels like a dedicated nature preserve.

Life in Avery Park isn't just about the privacy—it’s about the community, too. Residents enjoy exceptional amenities, including an outdoor swimming pool, community garden, stocked pond, and playground, as well as a tennis court that conveniently doubles as a pickleball court. Whether you’re looking for a morning match or a summer afternoon dip, it’s all just minutes from your front door. Adventure is truly at your doorstep with direct access to the Pisgah National Forest and the National Park trail system.

Here is the rare opportunity to start your day in the deep woods, dine at one of the 15 Asheville restaurants included in the Michelin Guide, and finish it at one of the five best small rock and roll venues in the nation. This isn't just a home; this is LIFE as you want to live it.
