Property Description

Tucked within one of Asheville's desired luxury communities, 18 Fairsted Drive is a premier example of high-end mountain modern living, where exceptional craftsmanship, curated materials and intentional design define every space. Originally built by the owner of Jennings Lumber, this custom luxury home showcases an extraordinary use of reclaimed wood throughout, from mixed-width oak flooring and hand-selected barnwood beams to bespoke cabinetry and architectural detailing, creating a warm, timeless aesthetic rarely found in newer construction. Designed by Platt and built by Thompson Properties, this 5,200-plus square foot estate offers four bedrooms, a dedicated office, and 5.5 baths with a seamless blend of luxury finishes and modern functionality. The open-concept main living area features soaring double-height ceilings, a natural stone fireplace and expansive NanaWall glass doors that create effortless indoor-outdoor living, one of the sought-after features in Asheville luxury real estate. Premium upgrades include Lutron lighting, automated Hunter Douglas shades, Kolbe aluminum-clad windows, and integrated audio that elevate comfort and convenience. The chef's kitchen is designed for everyday living and entertaining, centered around an oversized reclaimed wood island with honed granite countertops. High-end appliances include a paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator, Thermador 48-inch gas range, double ovens, and dual Kohler farmhouse sinks. Custom inset cabinetry, a reclaimed wood and metal vent hood, and a fully equipped scullery/pantry provide additional prep space and storage, ideal for luxury home buyers seeking style and performance. The main-level primary suite offers a private retreat with vaulted ceilings, custom millwork, and spa-inspired finishes including a steam shower, jetted soaking tub and dual vanities. Each guest suite features vaulted ceilings and en-suite baths, providing comfort and privacy for family and guests alike. Outdoor living is a highlight of this Asheville luxury property, with professionally designed landscaping and hardscaping that rivals a private resort. The fully fenced backyard features a cascading stone waterfall with built-in seating, a dramatic flagstone water wall and a gas fire pit, ideal for entertaining or relaxing year-round. Covered outdoor living areas include retractable screens, built-in heaters and media, making this home ideal for enjoying Western North Carolina's four-season climate. Within the gates of The Ramble Biltmore Forest, one of Asheville's prestigious gated communities, residents enjoy access to over 1,000 acres of preserved land, scenic recreational trails, parks and luxury amenities. The community features a wellness center, resort-style pool, tennis courts and the Living Well Center, all just minutes from Biltmore Village and downtown Asheville, known for its award-winning restaurants, shopping and vibrant arts scene. With a cedar shake roof, solid wood garage doors, 36-kilowatt Generac whole-home generator and top-tier mechanical systems, every detail of this home reflects quality construction and long-term value. Offering main-level living, integrated smart home technology and exceptional indoor-outdoor flow, this luxury residence represents one of the most compelling opportunities in the greater Asheville luxury market. 18 Fairsted Drive is a rare opportunity to own a luxury home in Asheville that combines elevated design, premium materials and an unmatched lifestyle in The Ramble Biltmore Forest.
