Set along the 13th fairway of the private Biltmore Forest Country Club, this quietly commanding mountain estate is a study in craftsmanship, privacy and enduring elegance. Reached by a long, gently rising drive through mature trees, the home reveals itself on a flat, sunlit 1.71-acre homesite, where sweeping golf course and mountain views unfold with effortless grace. Designed by PLATT Architecture and built between 2017 and 2019, the stone residence offers approximately 5,000 square feet of finished living space across two levels, with an additional 3,500-square-foot lower level plumbed and planned for future expansion. The architecture is timeless yet forward-looking, Energy Star certified, geothermal heated and cooled, and supported by a whole-house generator, delivering modern performance without compromising aesthetic integrity. Inside, light and volume define the experience. Ten-foot ceilings on the main level rise to vaulted 12-foot ceilings above, while wide-plank solid oak floors, substantial millwork, and Ashley Norton bronze hardware establish a refined, tactile warmth. The great room, with its soaring beamed ceiling, stone fireplace and bespoke cabinetry, opens through French doors to an expansive stone terrace, nearly 50 feet in length, designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living against a backdrop of mountains and fairways. The main-level primary suite is a private sanctuary, offering terrace access, panoramic views, heated marble floors and dual dressing rooms with custom quarter-sawn oak cabinetry. Additional bedroom suites, one more on the main level and three above, including a second primary suite, provide exceptional flexibility for guests or multi-generational living, each with beautifully appointed marble baths and abundant natural light. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen pairs custom Mason Elliott cabinetry with Brazilian granite, professional-grade appliances and a gracious breakfast area overlooking the landscape. It opens to a skylit screened porch with stone fireplace and built-in grill, an all-season retreat equally suited to intimate mornings or elegant evenings. Every detail has been considered, from the home elevator and advanced water filtration to curated lighting, integrated audio and thoughtfully designed service spaces. This is a residence of quiet confidence, where luxury is measured not by excess but by intention.
