Asheville, North Carolina – A stunning 4-acre estate located on Holly Arbor Lane has recently been listed for sale at $5.9 million. This remarkable property boasts a main residence of nearly 6,000 square feet, complemented by two guest cottages and a standalone conservatory nestled among landscaped gardens and lush forests.
The conservatory, described as a charming stone structure topped with a glass roof, is designed for cultivating flowers and offering a tranquil retreat for residents and guests alike. The estate’s grounds further enhance its allure, featuring a pond, paved trails that wind through woodlands, bridges crossing a creek, and open meadows. Expansive 2,200 square feet of patio space surround the main home, seamlessly connecting indoor living with the beauty of the forest.
The main house, constructed in 1994, is situated within the prestigious Ramble at Biltmore Forest, a gated community located approximately 20 minutes from downtown Asheville and close to the renowned Biltmore Estate. The current owners purchased the property for $2.6 million in 2020, reflecting the increasing value of the estate due to its unique features and desirable location.
The main residence includes seven bedrooms and showcases impressive architectural details, such as double-height vaulted ceilings throughout the ground floor and stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplaces in both the living room and the primary suite. The living area is further highlighted by a gracefully designed wooden staircase, enhanced by wrought-iron balustrades that emulate the appearance of flowering branches.
The primary suite offers a luxurious bathroom with glass walls that provide breathtaking views of the surrounding forest, allowing for an immersive nature experience. An additional octagonal building on the estate can serve multiple purposes, functioning as a guest suite, gym, or office space, thus adding to the versatility of the property.
Local regulations also permit the use of the guest cottages as short-term rentals, providing potential for additional income generation for prospective buyers. This feature, along with the estate’s abundant amenities, makes it a compelling investment opportunity.
For peace of mind, the estate is equipped with a full house generator and has multiple wells on the premises, ensuring an emergency water supply. Notably, during Hurricane Helene in 2023, the estate remained powered and supplied with water when much of Asheville faced service outages, serving as a haven for neighbors seeking refuge during the storm.
The listing for this exceptional estate is managed by Premier Sotheby’s International Realty, with the property expected to attract significant interest due to its unique offerings and prime location. This estate not only represents a luxurious living space but also stands as a testament to resilience and preparedness in the face of natural challenges.
