The connection between home and landscape is effortless. A Brazilian hardwood wrap-around deck extends into the surrounding woodland, creating a secluded setting for morning coffee, afternoon entertaining, or evenings in the hot tub. Beyond the deck, protected forest provides a constantly changing backdrop of seasonal color and natural beauty. The lower level expands the home's versatility with private walkout guest quarters, a stunning great room with a soaring stone fireplace, and a dedicated wellness retreat. A private gym and sauna create an inviting environment for fitness, restoration, and quiet relaxation. The gym is equipped with an Image 10.6 folding treadmill, Nitrofit Plus whole-body vibration machine, Precor 853 Adaptive Motion Trainer, and Body-Solid weight-training system with bench. And off the great room, an adjoining artist studio provides a peaceful space for creative pursuits.

Performance and efficiency are equally considered.

Where high-design industrialism meets a world-class botanical sanctuary, you’ll find this Fairview masterpiece. Conceived by the visionary founders of the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory, this estate is more than a home, it is a 1.89-acre pollinator paradise and a triumph of Modern Industrial Timberpeg architecture, a symphony of steel, glass and timber. Located within Clearview, an intimate subdivision comprising just 27 homesites, the residence enjoys a private setting at the end of the road. Its tucked-away position offers exceptional peace and seclusion, creating the feeling of a private pastoral retreat while remaining only minutes from Asheville. Guided by a passion for light and natural geometry, the creators utilized sustainably harvested Douglas Fir timbers and soaring glass to blur the line between interior and the wild. The 3,512-square-foot residence pulses with artisanal energy such as exotic zebra wood cabinetry, walnut wainscoting and hand-forged lighting from Hubbardton Forge and Sonneman. From the chef’s kitchen with Fisher & Paykel appliances to the 19th-century German hunting lodge library hutch, every inch reflects a life dedicated to curated beauty. The living landscape is true to the owners’ legacy, and the grounds are a masterclass in eco-stewardship. This isn’t just a garden; it’s a thriving ecosystem. Two buried 1,500-gallon cisterns harvest rainwater to sustain lush perennial beds designed to explode with seasonal color. A climate-controlled timber-frame greenhouse allows for year-round cultivation, while a tranquil waterfall and rockwork set a meditative tone. Even the workspace is inspired, a reimagined metal silo serves as a private office, clad in poplar and walnut. Resort living from home is the theme the creators manifested to create a perfect indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The primary suite dissolves into a pool terrace featuring a water feature, hot tub, and gas fire bowls surrounding the pool and anchored by an oversized gas fire pit. Host beneath a chandelier outdoor dining pavilion or on the kitchen terrace, complete with a wood-fired pizza oven and professional-grade outdoor appliances. Guests will find sanctuary in the NY-style ADU perched above the three-bay garage, offering a sleek, modern loft experience with its full kitchen and artisan concrete finishes. Sustainable sophistication is in the soul of the home, while its high-tech infrastructure includes a full-house generator, EV charging, dual tankless water heaters and a fully encapsulated environmental crawlspace. In the desirable Clearview community, you are minutes from the pulse of Asheville but immersed in a private, pastoral world where birds and butterflies are your closest neighbors. This is a rare opportunity to own a legacy property built by masters of the natural world.
