Known as the iconic "Airplane House," this architecturally distinctive, Beach House-inspired landmark offers over 4,500 SF of living space on a rare double lot totaling approximately .71 acres, with epic year-round long-range mountain views and breathtaking views of Downtown Asheville. Originally commissioned by a Miami builder seeking to create a "beach house in the mountains," this one-of-a-kind residence combines coastal-inspired design with the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Designed to maximize the scenery, the home features expansive walls of windows, including 14 south-facing windows that welcome spectacular sunrises and natural light throughout the day. The open-concept main living area is anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and showcases stunning mountain vistas from nearly every room. The fabulous updated kitchen features premium granite countertops, solid wood cabinetry, and flows seamlessly into a light-filled sunroom—an ideal space for morning coffee or evening relaxation.
The flexible floor plan includes multiple bedroom suites, including a spacious upper-level primary retreat with panoramic views, dual vanities, generous closet space, and a soaking tub positioned to take in the scenery. The lower level offers exceptional versatility and is currently configured as a private apartment with separate entrance, living area, bedroom, bath, and kitchenette. The space has successfully generated both short-term and long-term rental income and offers excellent potential for guests, multigenerational living, or supplemental income.
Outdoor spaces are equally impressive, featuring a wraparound egress deck, stone patio, fire pit area, grassy usable yard, and an additional buildable lot offering future possibilities. Major recent improvements include a new roof (2025), new upper siding, updated HVAC systems, new windows, retaining walls, and numerous interior updates.
Located in the rapidly growing Woodfin area adjacent to Reynolds Mountain, this exceptional property is just minutes from Downtown Asheville, the French Broad River, the Woodfin Greenway & Blueway, and the exciting new river recreation amenities transforming the area. A rare opportunity to own one of Asheville's most memorable homes with unparalleled views, character, income potential, and room to grow. Book your showing today!
