Hickory Home is a wonderful 4 bedroom 3 and a half bathroom home that enjoys the serenity of a private mountain location and breathtaking views. The home takes advantage of desirable Southern exposure, a passive solar design, and a large covered deck which maximizes the visual connection to nature. The home's location is quiet and peaceful yet it is only 5 miles to South Asheville's brand new grocery stores, shopping and restaurants. It is 9 miles to the Vanderbilt's Biltmore Estate and only 10 miles to the heart of historic downtown Asheville. Studio furniture maker, John McDermott, has named the house "Hickory Home" after the stand of majestic Hickory trees that grow around it.

This 2,700 square foot home built in 2006 sits on 3.5 acres of pristine forest with commanding year round mountain views. The neighborhood consists of 8 custom homes all sited on acreage to ensure complete privacy. In the adjacent development of Poplar Ridge lots with comparable views and size are priced over $600,000 - just for the land. The home was built using green design principles ensuring energy efficiency, health and low maintenance while providing an elegant ambiance and a close relationship with the surrounding environment. The home was sited to maximize the mountain views and the preservation of the existing hardwood trees and the flowering rhododendrons. Hiking trails and the best that nature has to offer await right at your back door.

The main level of the home has a spacious open floor plan with lots of windows, hardwood floors and a cozy wood burning stove/oven. The main floor includes the living room, dining room, and kitchen. This floor also has a large deck, a guest bedroom and a full bath as well as a laundry area. The master bedroom is on the top floor and includes an en-suite bathroom, a walk in closet and amazing views. The third bedroom and a full en-suite bathroom are also located on the top floor. The finished daylight basement on the lowest floor has 10' ceilings, a full bath, a walk-out deck and is perfect for a bedroom, home office, or media room. The attached garage benefits from ample storage.

Hickory Home has a beautiful and edible landscape featuring strawberries, blueberries, fig & cherry trees. Within the landscape sits a natural stone patio with a built in fire-pit.
