One of a kind. A descriptive cliche for selling everything from wristwatches to dish soap. But, once in a great while something lives up to the hype, it's then we run across something for sale that truly is "one of a kind" - unmatched in individuality, and sometimes beauty. Such is the case with this 30 acre retreat overlooking Asheville, North Carolina . A mountaintop property as distinctive and exclusive as they come.

Note: Please refer to the contact details at the end of the listing for more info. This 30 acre retreat is listed by the owner at $2.9 million, and all details are available on request as suggested below.

This property features a paved road, plus all underground utilities. Suitable as a contiguous exclusive estate, or for subdividing,  the mostly wooded and partially cleared parcel has  panoramic views from every section of the tract. 10 minutes from the top of the mountain to downtown Asheville, North Carolina, the property is populated by indigenous Oak, hickory and poplar trees as well.

For the discriminating buyer, whether for personal or commercial development, this North Carolina mountain parcel is as rare a find as exists. All the best of mountain and lake living, just a stone's throw from scenic Lake James (Bottom Image) - the buyer will find a welcome surprise in the 23 foot Beneteau sailboat that goes with this estate.

Overlooking Asheville, Weaverville, and Woodfin  this 30+ acre retreat is both secluded and convenient to all amenities in the area. As the images suggest, this vantage point is not only the highest point of land in the immediate area, but affords the most stunning views of Asheville and the Blue Ridge Mountains surrounding.

Asheville is home to about 2500 full time residents, and quite obviously the surrounding countryside offers superb outdoors activities, not to mention shopping, cultural, and sightseeing opportunities. Asheville is famous for George Washington Vanderbilt II's legendary Biltmore Estate (image below), the largest privately owner residence in the United States. Asheville itself was called an Appalachian Shangri-La by New York Times Travel columnist Chris Dixon. The eclectic mix of society in and around Asheville is, in itself, as unique as the spectacular views from our property listing.

Anyone who knows anything about Asheville knows why so many who visit this magical place end up moving here. Not only is this part of the Blue Ridge Mountains mesmerizing in its beauty, but Asheville is just one fantastically fun city to live in. Inviting. This is the word most often used to describe historic Asheville. Mother Nature in all her splendour, accentuated by the fun people and places nearby, Asheville is a North Carolina wonder.

Some nearby attractions include; The Blue Ridge Parkway, Pack Square, the Southern Highland Folk Art Center, Western Carolina Nature Center, famous Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, and hundreds of others. For those unfamiliar with this area of the US, the real natural treasures are not always those along the traveled path, you see, they are the ones tucked into the countryside, North Carolina treasures such as the foliage and feeling illustrated at the secluded bridge above.
