About this home

Step into a home where master craftsmanship meets artistic vision. Nestled within the premier gated enclave of The Cliffs at Walnut Cove in Arden, North Carolina, this stunning custom residence was thoughtfully designed and built by a fifth-generation carpenter whose legacy of precision, skill, and architectural integrity is reflected in every square inch. The journey begins outside on the grand, hand-laid cobblestone driveway inspired by ancient Roman roads, which wraps past lush perennial gardens to frame a stately mountain facade. Having undergone an extensive, top-to-bottom transformation in 2026, the interior showcases freshly updated premium hardwood flooring and meticulously redesigned, spa-like bathrooms that elevate the daily living experience. At the heart of the home, the sweeping great room is anchored by a striking stone wood-burning fireplace that pairs naturally with the bright, open spaces and high-altitude mountain privacy. This primary living area flows seamlessly into a chef’s dream kitchen, a space defined by rich chevron-patterned tile backsplashes, a professional appliance wall with double wall ovens, and premium light marble countertops that run all the way up to an elegant picture window overlooking the dense tree canopy. Serving as both a highly functional centerpiece and an extraordinary work of art is the custom South African blue-gray hardwood island, providing a generous setting for large-scale entertaining. Directly off the main level, expansive glass doors slide open to a private trex deck retreat nestled securely among the treetops for serene outdoor dining. Downstairs, the versatile terrace level functions as a private domain of its own, offering comfortable guest suites, flexible bonus space for recreation, a second dedicated laundry room, and a massive lower-level workshop. This unfinished workshop area also holds immense square footage potential to expand into an additional craft room, wine cellar, collector car storage, or extended media room. Beyond the property boundaries, a premier Cliffs membership unlocks an unparalleled, world-class mountain lifestyle centered around an 18,000-square-foot wellness center complete with indoor and outdoor pools, tennis courts, and a luxury full-service spa. Golf enthusiasts will revel in the community's crown jewel, a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course that wanders beautifully through the valley landscape, complemented by an award-winning Tudor-style clubhouse and "The Tavern," a celebrated member social hub for fine dining and exclusive community events. Bordering the protected wilderness of the Pisgah National Forest and situated just minutes from both the iconic Blue Ridge Parkway and the vibrant cultural, dining, and artistic heartbeat of downtown Asheville, this timeless luxury estate offers the ultimate combination of secluded mountain luxury and elite resort convenience.

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.
