About This Property

Encompassing 4.67 acres of pristine, wooded grounds, this extraordinary Georgian estate unfolds as a private sanctuary of beauty and scale in the storied heart of Biltmore Forest. Towering hardwoods, mature landscaping, and sweeping lawns create a rare sense of seclusion and permanence, an estate setting of remarkable depth and tranquility, where nature and architecture exist in elegant harmony.

Designed in 1929 by acclaimed Asheville architect Erle Stillwell, the residence stands as a masterwork of classical Georgian design and enduring craftsmanship. The stately brick façade, proportioned and rich with classical detailing, offers a timeless first impression, an architectural presence that speaks quietly yet confidently to its heritage. Inside, the home reveals interiors of uncommon refinement.

Soaring ceilings, exquisite millwork and graciously scaled rooms are bathed in natural light, creating an atmosphere that is grand and inviting. Formal and informal spaces flow with symmetry and ease, honoring historic artistry while remaining beautifully suited for modern living. A magnificent formal dining room, illuminated by mullioned windows and crowned by a shimmering Waterford chandelier, provides an unforgettable setting for elegant gatherings.
