**SERENITY, SUNRISES & THE BLUE RIDGE** IT DOESN"T GET BETTER THAN THIS!! Escape to the tranquility of the Blue Ridge Mountains and discover an extraordinary opportunity to create your own private mountain retreat on nearly 5 acres in the gated community of Big Cove Estates. Ideally situated amid Western North Carolina’s breathtaking landscape, this exceptional property offers the rare combination of privacy, panoramic mountain beauty, and convenient access to Asheville. Much of the groundwork has already been completed, allowing you to move seamlessly toward bringing your vision to life. The view is breathtaking and this house concept would create a mountain oasis most people dream about. We had a concept plan designed specifically for this site, not a generic floor plan dropped onto a homesite, but a home built around the view itself. Timber-frame construction, a great room with floor-to-ceiling windows angled to catch the exact mountain sightline this property already has. You're not imagining a house with a nice view. You're imagining a house designed around one specific, irreplaceable view. This is the part people miss when they look at raw land. It's not just a blank lot. It's a blank canvas with the hardest part already solved, the location, the access, the view. The concept plan is the proof of what's actually possible here. Just select your builder and begin creating the dream!! Wake each morning to the peaceful beauty of the mountains and savor east-facing sunrise views across seemingly endless layers of Blue Ridge peaks. Envision quiet mornings with coffee on a generous wraparound deck, evenings surrounded by the sounds of nature, under an endless sea of stars and a lifestyle where the forest feels like an extension of your own backyard. Yet this secluded setting is remarkably convenient. Located approximately 15 miles from downtown Asheville, you’ll enjoy easy access to the city’s celebrated restaurants, eclectic shopping, art galleries, local breweries, live music, and vibrant entertainment scene. For outdoor enthusiasts, the possibilities are endless, with the property bordering the vast Pisgah National Forest and placing world-class hiking and mountain adventures close to home. The nearby French Broad River offers opportunities for kayaking, rafting, fishing, and countless ways to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the region. Big Cove Estates provides a private gateway to the outdoors offering a natural setting designed to coexist harmoniously with the surrounding wilderness. Whether you envision a full-time mountain residence, or a luxurious vacation escape you'll have the ability to build the mountain retreat you’ve been dreaming of—where the forest is your neighbor, the Blue Ridge is your view, and every sunrise feels like your own private show.
