About this home

Introducing an unrivaled opportunity within the exclusive, gated Horse Shoe Cove community. At 2.7 acres, this stunning modern retreat commands the largest and most desirable lot in the entire development, offering a level of privacy and ease of use that is a often sought, yet rarely found. A distant advantage of this property is its topography: a remarkable, perfectly level full acre of manicured lawn. This flat, usable terrain is a true unicorn in our mountainous region, providing immediate, ready-to-use space for gardening, play, or a future pool, perfectly complemented by the balance of wooded privacy. The architecture and design brilliantly capitalize on the enchanting setting. This home is a testament to thoughtful design and coveted true one-level living, offering a seamless flow between the elegant interior and the flat, expansive grounds. Soaring 12-foot ceilings, 8-foot doors, and walls of windows flood the open floor plan with light and draw the eye toward the surrounding tranquility.

The great room is centered around a remarkable floor-to-ceiling custom stone fireplace flanked by elegant floating shelves, making the space ideal for both quiet nights and lively gatherings. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, appointed with top-of-the-line Thermador appliances and anchored by a walk-in butler's pantry to keep the main space clutter-free for effortless entertaining.

The luxurious primary suite offers a private escape with an oversized walk-in closet and a spa-like shower and grand soaking tub. For supreme comfort, all bathrooms feature heated floors.

The home's greatest extension is the expansive screened-in patio, which acts as a second living room complete with its own stone fireplace, a built-in grilling station, and dining area. This outdoor sanctuary directly overlooks the level, fenced-in yard, confirming that the usable acreage is a natural, effortless extension of the living space. The attached three-car garage goes beyond the standard, offering impressive storage.

The location is unparalleled: a short drive to the vibrant scenes of Asheville, Hendersonville, and Brevard; minutes from the acclaimed Ecusta Trail; convenient proximity to Asheville Regional Airport (AVL) as well as a local hospital system recognized as One of America's 100 Best Hospitals for 2025. This is more than a home—it is an invitation to secure a premier, luxurious estate in beautiful Western North Carolina.

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. John can introduce you to lenders he trusts.

Numbers are a directional estimate. Actual monthly cost varies by lender, credit, taxes assessed at closing, and insurance carrier. This is not a loan offer or pre-approval.
