Picture your future front porch, with the Biltmore Estate and downtown Asheville's skyline glowing to the east while an endless wave of mountain ridgelines rolls west as far as the eye can see. These are the kinds of views that you'll never tire of waking up to at the Summit of Asheville. Situated on the Buncombe/Haywood County line, this exception 10.21-acre homesite is truly remarkable! The drive home is an experience in itself as you enter through the community's gated entrance, only minutes from I-40. As you wind your way through breathtaking mountain scenery, you may lose count of the more than 140 mountain peaks that unfold along the way. The road is paved. Every homesite in the already-established community sits on at least 10 acres, preserving the space, privacy, and quiet that make this setting so special. Residents enjoy access to a community garden and a network of scenic hiking trails that meander throughout the community, creating opportunities to explore, unwind, and connect with both neighbors and nature. Whether you envision a luxury mountain retreat, a full-time residence, or a legacy property to enjoy for generations, this extraordinary homesite offers a setting that is increasingly difficult to find. With electric available, soil testing done and a 4-bedroom septic permit valid until 2029, this land only needs you to bring your vision, your builder, and your imagination. This is truly the location few properties can match.
