Get the details on this property
Perched high in the mountains of Asheville, 234 Skycliff Drive is a masterpiece of eclectic European architecture designed to capture the soul of the landscape. This estate offers breathtaking, uninterrupted southern to northern views of Cold Mountain, Mount Pisgah, and the iconic peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
It is a home where "comfortably elegant" isn't just a phrase, it is the guiding principle behind every thoughtful detail.
Step inside to discover an interior palette of rich golds, reds, and greens that create an immediate sense of warmth.
The scale is impressive, yet the atmosphere remains inviting. Your eyes are drawn upward to the 35-foot coffered ceiling adorned with gold foil wallpaper in the great room, anchored by two massive 35-foot Italian limestone fireplaces. The flooring underfoot is equally exquisite, featuring a curated mix of Jerusalem gold limestone, quarter-sawn oak, and marble with medallion accents.
Entertaining here is effortless. The heart of the home flows from a chef’s kitchen—equipped with a Dacor 6-burner gas cooktop, Sub-Zero refrigeration, and a Verdi Fire granite island. This entertainment hub features a billiard room with custom woodwork, diamond coffered ceiling, a full bar setup, a beer tap, built in 42-inch HDTV, stained glass windows and leads directly out to the main terrace. Here, you and your guests can enjoy 180-degree mountain vistas that change with the seasons.
The primary suite serves as a private sanctuary with amenities rarely found in residential design. You can savor your morning coffee on a private balcony that boasts the property's finest views. The adjoining bathroom offers a spa-like experience with a two-person Jacuzzi tub, a walk-in steam shower, and a heated towel warmer.
Luxury extends to the lower level, which functions as a private resort. This floor houses a climate-controlled Old World wine cellar capable of holding over 800 bottles and a professional home theater with acoustic fabric walls and a 102-inch screen.
The crown jewel of this level is the "Grotto", a unique retreat featuring a six-person poured Gunite hot tub with a waterfall and its own fireplace.
