99999 Lynn Cove Road, Asheville, NC 28804

Property Description

One minute you’re on Merrimon Avenue with the coffee shops and traffic of North Asheville. 10 minutes later, Beaverdam Road gives way to Lynn Cove Road, the pavement climbs, the state road ends, and the city simply falls away. At the very end of the road, where the only traffic is your own, sits this 10.36-acre wooded cove. Picture a six-bedroom home set into the hardwoods, with room for everyone and a great room built for long dinners. Your friends start calling it “The Lodge on Lynn Cove,” and you act like you don’t love it. Mornings start with a slow walk down the quiet private road with the dog, past more trees than neighbors. Evenings end on the porch, watching deer and other wildlife move through the woods to and from the stream that runs across the property. When the mood strikes, take the climb through the oak and hickory to the top of the land, about 330 ft above the lowest point and nearly 3,300 ft in elevation, and look out west as the sun sets over layered mountain ridgelines. In winter, with the leaves down, those long views open up even more. Recorded covenants call for a substantial home (at least 2,600 sq ft on one level or 2,100 sq ft multilevel) and limit clearing to the house, drive and parking, so the forest around you stays intact. The Blue Ridge Parkway is about a third of a mile away as the crow flies, and downtown Asheville is about 5 miles straight-line. Privately maintained road under a recorded road maintenance agreement. Well and septic needed; number of bedrooms subject to county septic approval. Steep terrain; buyer to verify building sites, views and all information.
