Property Description

Now repositioned at a compelling value and returned to market through no fault of the property, 40 Mountain Shadows Drive represents a limited opportunity to secure a refined mountain residence just minutes from downtown Asheville. Privately set within an enclave of established homes, this Mountain View estate offers a rare blend of quiet seclusion and immediate access to Asheville’s acclaimed dining, boutique shopping, and premier medical facilities—an increasingly hard-to-find combination in today’s market. Inside, soaring ceilings, natural light, and timeless architectural elements create an atmosphere of understated sophistication. The open, flowing design is both functional and elegant, with a well-appointed gourmet kitchen seamlessly connecting to expansive living and dining spaces designed for elevated entertaining and effortless daily living. The main-level primary suite provides a true sense of retreat, while additional guest accommodations offer comfort and flexibility. Upstairs, a spacious en-suite layout with walk-in closet adapts beautifully as a secondary primary, executive office, or private lounge. Two substantial attic spaces, including one partially finished, present future potential rarely available in homes of this caliber. The walk-out lower level further distinguishes the home, featuring a generous family room, vented gas fireplace, full bath, kitchenette, and additional flex rooms—ideal for extended stays, recreation, or multi-generational living. Outdoors, curated spaces invite both quiet mornings and refined gatherings, with covered porches, a scenic patio, and manicured grounds that embrace the surrounding landscape. Dual oversized garages with dedicated workshop space add a level of utility seldom found in similarly located properties. Two wood-burning fireplaces complete the home’s warm, mountain ambiance. Opportunities offering this level of privacy, scale, and proximity to Asheville are increasingly limited—making this a compelling consideration for buyers seeking both lifestyle and long-term value. -Explore 40 Mtn Shadows from the comfort of your couch, all open houses are currently virtual!
