About This Home

Private contemporary mountain retreat in South Asheville — 291 Merrills Chase Rd sits on 3.6 wooded acres spanning two separate lots in the sought-after Merrills Chase subdivision, just 20 minutes from downtown Asheville, NC. This 2002-built home offers single-level-friendly living with winter mountain views, a wood-burning fireplace, and an open floor plan that flows to a covered deck for outdoor living.

The 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath layout includes a walk-out basement with attached garage — ideal for storage, a workshop, or additional flex space. Standout features include a rainwater catchment and filtration system in addition to well, new roof in 2024, and a fenced front yard on a private, sloped, wooded lot.

The paved subdivision road (gravel at the upper section) is HOA-maintained. With 3.6 private acres as a backdrop, the property offers a rare blend of seclusion and easy access to South Asheville's shops and restaurants.

From fireside evenings by the wood-burning hearth to warm-weather gatherings on the deck, this home is built for enjoying every season. Trails, local wineries, and the Blue Ridge Parkway are all within easy reach for weekend exploring.
