4 Beds ⋅ 6 Baths ⋅ 4435348 MLS
125 Carolina Lily Lane is a 2024 modern A-frame home located eight minutes from downtown Asheville. The 4-bedroom, 4 full and 2 half bath home offers 4,042 square feet on 2.43 wooded acres with near-range mountain views, and it is one of the few properties near downtown Asheville where short-term rental (STR) use is permitted. Mornings here begin with coffee beneath a vaulted wood ceiling, light pouring through a wall of floor-to-ceiling glass as the mountains to the northeast come into focus above the trees. By evening, you might be at dinner downtown or gathered around the fire table on the deck before settling into the hot tub as the forest goes quiet around you. The great room is the heart of the home, with a soaring vaulted ceiling, a fireplace, and a full wall of windows framing the mountain views and surrounding hardwood forest. The kitchen is designed for gathering, with a large island and stainless steel appliances, opening to the dining area. A guest suite and half bath complete the main level. The entire upper floor is reserved for the primary suite, a private retreat set away the rest of the home. The lower level adds a large family room, two guest suites, a bonus room, and a half bath, creating a second living area for family, guests, or multiple traveling groups. Outdoor living includes a large back deck with a fire table and grilling area, plus a lower patio with a large hot tub. A gravel driveway accommodates up to six vehicles, with a parking pad offering room to add a carport or garage in the future. The home also features a five-stage whole-home water purification system and high-speed internet suited to remote work. The home sits outside Asheville city limits in Buncombe County and is not subject to the Town Mountain Preserve CCRs, so short-term rental use is permitted. It currently operates as a successful Airbnb, holding a 5.0 rating across guest reviews and is recognized as an Airbnb Guest Favorite in the top 1% of eligible homes. The property is offered fully furnished and turnkey, ready to continue hosting guests immediately or to serve as a private mountain retreat. Town Mountain is one of Asheville’s most sought-after areas, known for wooded privacy, mountain views, and quick access to the city. Downtown Asheville’s restaurants, breweries, galleries, and music venues are minutes away, along with the River Arts District, the Biltmore Estate, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. This home is well suited for buyers seeking a short-term rental investment near downtown Asheville, a second home set inside a gated mountain community, or a primary residence with room for family and guests.

Part stone cottage, part curated gallery. Adorned throughout with one-of-a kind custom interior and exterior finishes that set this home apart from any other. Located in the highly sought-after Kenilworth this peaceful retreat sits on 0.81 acres with year-round mountain views, just minutes from parks, shopping and downtown Asheville. The experience begins before you even step inside. Lush, layered gardens stop you at the street — trellises, river rock pathways, stacked stone walls, and native blooms create a sense of arrival that feels both intentional and transportive. A covered front porch and striking offset deck set the stage for what’s to come. Inside, the home unfolds like a work of art. A generous foyer opens into an expansive kitchen, dining, and living space where soaring windows frame nothing but forest canopy. Reclaimed wood, statement lighting, exposed beams, and a substantial island create an atmosphere that feels more like a gallery than a cottage — bold, warm, and unforgettable. The spacious primary ensuite is both luxurious and refined, featuring an electric fireplace that adds warmth and ambiance, a large picture window and 2 closets. The spa-inspired bath offers heated floors and a full glass steam shower with double shower heads, creating a daily retreat experience. A main-level office adds flexibility without compromising design & space to add a main level laundry if desired. Downstairs, a fully finished lower level offers a private retreat of its own — currently operating as a successful Airbnb. Complete with a full kitchen, French doors leading to the sunny East-facing yard, a built-in bed nook, exposed rock walls, and a walk-in shower, it’s a space designed for both comfort and character. Just outside the private entrance there is a covered 175 sqft porch. Beyond the aesthetics, the home has been thoughtfully upgraded with major system improvements, including updated electrical wiring, solar panels, a new gas furnace, new sewer line, upgraded plumbing, and a whole-house water filtration system — offering peace of mind to match the design. Every surface has been intentionally curated — stone, hardwood, tile, beams, and paneling layered with purpose throughout. Originally two lots combined into one, the property may offer subdivision potential (buyer to confirm). Too many features to list. See attachments. This isn’t just a home — it’s an experience. And it’s one you have to see to fully appreciate.
