This 13.3 ± acre private wooded homesite in Lookout Pointe offers sweeping, layered long-range mountain views, a year-round creek, and true privacy in Madison County, NC, just over 30 minutes from the west side of Asheville. The terrain is steep overall, allowing for the breathtaking viewshed, and its natural woodland has many old logging roads that make great walking trails. The building area sits at roughly 3,700 feet, just below the road, where the ground levels out slightly to build for long-range views south over Sandymush and layered Blue Ridge peaks. Views are seasonal now, but selective clearing could open them year-round. Trails also lead past granite boulders to Little Sandymush Creek, which tumbles over small waterfalls along the western border. A septic permit was previously approved for a 4-bedroom home. It has since expired but shows what is possible on this land. And a Helene caused slope failure along the road has been repaired, making this ready for you to build your vision. This is a rare find for a buyer wanting big views, privacy, and a water feature. A true mountain retreat or forever homesite.

Some addresses are just coordinates. This one is a destination. Tucked inside The Ridge — one of Western North Carolina’s most coveted gated communities — this nearly 5,000-square-foot mountain masterpiece doesn’t ask you to choose between luxury and nature. It hands you both, and then some. The views are the first thing you notice. Layered mountain ranges stretching as far as you can see — in January, in July, every single morning in between. This is the kind of panorama people drive hours to photograph. You get to wake up to it. Step inside and the home announces itself. Soaring vaulted ceilings rise overhead, framed by dramatic arched transom windows that pour natural light into every corner of the great room. A statement chandelier anchors the space while a floor-to-ceiling stone tile gas fireplace commands the wall opposite. Then your eye travels past it all — through 16 feet of French glass doors — and straight into the mountains. The covered main level deck stretches over 500 square feet, its tongue-and-groove wood ceiling giving it the warmth of an indoor room with all the freedom of the outdoors. Those peaks aren’t a backdrop here. They’re part of the architecture. The kitchen is built for people who actually cook: Bosch appliances, a Miele built-in coffee maker, and a walk-in pantry lined with custom built-in shelves and cabinetry that makes organization feel like a luxury in itself. A 10-foot waterfall island anchors the space — a detail that tells you exactly what kind of home this is. The main level offers two bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, including a primary suite that earns every superlative. Spa bath, walk-in closets, and French double doors that open directly onto the deck — mountains waiting on the other side every single morning. A massive dedicated laundry room rounds out a floor designed to handle real life without sacrificing an ounce of elegance. Downstairs is where the home truly reveals its scale. The walkout lower level is a world of its own — two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a kitchenette, a second living space, a dedicated office, a playroom, a second laundry room, and room to spare. It opens onto a second covered deck, adding another 500 square feet of outdoor living with the same unobstructed mountain views from a different elevation. Guests don’t just visit here — they settle in. Family members don’t share space — they have their own. Three-car garage with a bonus room above — complete with its own half bath. Tesla Powerwalls, solar, EV charger, and whole-home filtration round out a home engineered for efficiency without compromising anything. 4 bedrooms. 4 full bathrooms. 2 half bathrooms. Over 1,100 square feet of deck. Gated community with pool. Just 11 miles to downtown Asheville and 11 miles to Weaverville — close enough to everything, far enough from the noise. This is Western North Carolina living at its highest expression. And it’s ready for whoever’s bold enough to call it home.
