Property Description
This estate is the architectural heartbeat of that vision. It wasn't just built near the estate; it was carved from it. Passing from the George Cecil family, George Vanderbilt's grandson, to the Bell family, the property now awaits the next visionary family to call this 9-acre sanctuary home. For the first time in nearly 50 years, one of the most significant private landholdings in the Town of Biltmore Forest is emerging.
Experience the epitome of sophistication in this one-of-a-kind estate, where timeless grandeur and architectural mastery unite. Built 1924-1927, this Charles Parker Tudor masterpiece was constructed by the very same craftsmen who worked on the Biltmore House. Spanning over 8,700 square feet of limestone, granite, and slate, the estate offers an ultra-private island of seclusion within this prestigious, highly coveted community, located just nine minutes from the Biltmore Estate entrance and fifteen minutes from Downtown Asheville.
The gracious eight-bedroom, six-full-bath, and two-half-bath main residence reveals itself through impressively scaled rooms showcasing bespoke architectural details and original materials. From custom millwork to antique mantels and leaded glass windows, the home resonates with old-world character. Grand entertaining spaces unfold across the main level, where formal living and dining rooms balance intimacy with grandeur alongside a spacious kitchen designed with a granite island.
The formal entry foyer opens into a conservatory that evokes an era of timeless elegance. The upper-level primary suite is a private sanctuary complete with a large dressing room, dedicated office, and a cozy fireplace. Five additional bedrooms and three full baths complete this level, providing abundant accommodations for family and guests. The top floor offers an additional two bedrooms, a full bath, and a versatile recreation room for play, retreat, or creative pursuits. Beyond the main residence, the estate extends its charm and functionality with structures that provide total flexibility for guests, staff, or a private office.
A storybook guest cottage offers a complete living area, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and dedicated storage. Further flexibility is found above the detached garage, which houses an independent apartment complete with a full bathroom, bedroom/living area, and its own kitchen. Outdoors, the landscape offers an immersive natural buffer ensuring a profound sense of seclusion. A winding drive meanders through manicured gardens and mature trees, culminating in ultimate serenity. A sparkling pool and pool house, including dressing rooms and restroom facilities, invite summer gatherings. Expansive acreage stretches in every direction, nestled against dense forest and rolling hills, moments away from the fairways of the Biltmore Forest Country Club. The former equestrian facilities offer a blank canvas, perfectly suited for conversion into a premier Pickleball sports complex, an expansive collector car garage, or an array of bespoke amenities.
A once-in-a-lifetime property deserves unparalleled representation. Josh Smith and the team at Walnut Cove Realty bring unmatched local knowledge to this exclusive offering.
