Rarely does a setting like this become available this close to downtown Asheville. Perched high along one of Falcon Ridge’s premier ridgeline settings within an exclusive enclave of just 28 homes, this custom-built mountain modern retreat captures the kind of long-range Blue Ridge views, privacy, natural light, and usable topography buyers come to the mountains hoping to find—yet often can’t. In keeping with the principles of modern mountain architecture, the exterior remains intentionally understated, allowing the dramatic interior spaces and panoramic views to take center stage. Once inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, striking exposed beams, and expansive walls of glass fill the home with natural light while framing mountain views from nearly every major living space. Even more remarkable, it delivers all of this just minutes from Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, acclaimed restaurants, galleries, live music, endless hiking trails, and everything that makes Asheville so desirable — The open-concept design centers around a stunning great room and chef’s kitchen with high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and refined modern finishes throughout — The main-level primary suite offers comfort and ease for everyday living, while two well-separated upper-level guest en suites provide ideal privacy for family and guests. Covered outdoor living, fireplace, and fire pit were all designed to maximize the panoramic year-round backdrop — No remaining homesites can obstruct the views, and the home’s position at the highest point in the community further enhances the sense of privacy, openness, and year-round natural light, with nearby homes situated at a lower elevation.— At just 2 years old and presenting in like-new condition, this home offers a rare combination of newer construction, architectural character, protected views, and close proximity to downtown Asheville.
