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 impressive 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.

When the Bearwallow Trail gate opens up, your country road home unfolds before you. While some subdivisions are stuffy, driving the gravel roads through Bear Wallow up to 51 Stony Pond Ln feels like cruising your favorite National Forest Service road to that secluded cabin you’ve always dreamed of (AWD or 4WD vehicles requested to keep roads intact). Once you turn on Stony Pond Ln and reach the relatively flat ridge line at 3,750 feet in elevation, the heat from the valley and your worries from the outside world quickly dissipate. With 5.7 unusually usable mountain acres, featuring multiple building lots, wild winter time views, reclaimable trails, pond frontage and the freedom of light restrictions, this mountain top property triangulated between Canton, Leicester and Asheville punches way above its weight. Once you arrive at the cabin you'll be surrounded by the sounds of nature and the privacy of a secluded forest. There's plenty of room to park in the driveway or the detached garage -- with a side bay for your mower. Once settled in, you'll enter straight into an expansive great room with soaring cathedral ceilings covered in locally sourced tongue and groove pine. The open floorpan is as welcoming as the sight of the wood burning fireplace is warming. This room is where slow mornings simmer and the good life happens. With your kitchen, dining and living area bathed in natural light and surrounded on three sides by covered decks, green spaces and verdant forests it's hard to tell where the indoors stop and the outdoors begin. Finishing out the main floor are two matching bedrooms with sizable closets and easy access to a fully appointed bathroom. Make your way upstairs and you’ll pass through a cozy loft which was used as a musical flex space that leads directly into the dreamy primary suite. With soaring cathedral tongue and groove ceilings, private Juliet deck, large walk-in closet and stylish bathroom, you'll never want to leave. Finishing out the square footage, the lower level of the house features a massive den with another fireplace, full bathroom and direct access to the covered natural stone patio with included hot tub! There’s also a bonus storage space downstairs which could easily be converted into a safe room, an oversized laundry room and a dedicated mechanical room with easy access to all the home’s systems! Built by trusted local hands in 2013, this stick-built, log-style cabin has all the things a seasoned contractor would put into their own house. Native pine siding for the look and feel of a log home but anchored by an ultra solid poured concrete foundation, with 2x6 exterior walls with high-quality doors windows and insulation. Bear Wallow subdivision benefits from light restrictions. Property also has existing trails leading through the forest and to the adjacent pond that can be reclaimed and easily expanded. Surprisingly flat terrain on this ridge line property and multiple parcels makes it perfectly set up to expand into a future family compound or turn it into a multi-dwelling investment for a builder/investor. Full Disclosure: Property is located near the Haywood/Buncombe County line and although it has a Canton address, it is located in Buncombe County. Home was built by listing agent’s family-owned construction company!
