Property Description
A rare opportunity awaits on four serene acres in the heart of Biltmore Forest. Tucked amidst mature trees and natural landscapes, this classic stone ranch offers a remarkable balance of enduring architectural integrity, spacious comfort, and untapped potential. Defined by solid construction and timeless design, the residence provides a gracious canvas for a discerning buyer to restore, reimagine, or even craft a legacy estate that reflects a unique vision.
The home's inviting presence begins with its expansive front porch, a gracious welcome framed by stonework and shaded by the surrounding canopy of trees. Inside, generous proportions define the three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, offering comfortable spaces for daily living or thoughtful redesign. Sunlight filters through broad windows, highlighting the warmth of natural materials and creating a seamless connection to the wooded setting.
The lower level expands the possibilities with a finished second living quarters, complete with a kitchen area, bath, and a separate entrance—ideal for extended family, guests, or a private home office. With its versatile layout, the home adapts easily to a range of lifestyles, whether for multi-generational living, creative pursuits, or entertaining.

Spacious rooms and a partially finished basement provide flexibility for expansion, while the tranquil acreage offers the privacy and presence to support something truly extraordinary.
Outdoors, the land unfolds in a tapestry of wooded beauty, offering the quiet elegance of seclusion just moments from the energy of Biltmore Village and the cultural vitality of downtown Asheville. The balance between convenience and retreat is rare—an in-town property with acreage that offers both practical access and the luxury of privacy.
Whether you envision a thoughtful restoration of its classic character, a full transformation into a contemporary masterpiece, or the creation of a distinctive estate that celebrates its setting, this property presents an unparalleled opportunity. Mature trees, abundant light, and the peaceful rhythm of nature frame a home that is ready for its next chapter.
Make an offer and bring your vision to life in one of North Carolina's most coveted communities. This is your chance to shape a timeless residence where history, beauty, and possibility converge.
