A stunning Transitional-style estate in The Cliffs at Walnut Cove has sold for $3.5 million, the second most expensive sale in the community’s history. Boasting 180-degree views of Pisgah National Forest, the Blue Ridge Parkway and downtown Asheville, the 2.6-acre property is one of the most desirable homesites in The Cliffs. Located at 49 Green Grass Court in Arden, the private listing was sold by Janet Whitworth of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Asheville office; the firm’s Sharon Lingelbach brought the buyer.
Built in 2018 by Butch Heatherly and designed by architect Mark Shattuck with the intention of enjoying views from every room, the 8,100-square-foot home features five bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths. Exquisite appointments include a three-sided fireplace, white oak flooring, home theater, wine room, office, hobby room and elevator. The gourmet kitchen is crafted with Thermador professional appliances, Quartzite countertops, commercial-size refrigerator and freezer as well as a walk-in pantry. The master retreat showcases its own fireplace, dual custom closets and spa-like porcelain tile bath.
A screened porch offers three-season outdoor living with a gas fireplace. Three additional porches and decks constructed with Ipe wood are the perfect platforms for breathtaking mountain vistas. Residents of The Cliffs at Walnut Cove enjoy an exclusive country club lifestyle with a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, fitness center, farm/CSA program, tennis, hiking, wine club and social events.
Quotes:
“This beautiful estate seamlessly unites the beauty of the mountains with a private golf community and exudes the luxury lifestyle that The Cliffs at Walnut Cove commands. Selling a private listing is the most challenging feat any luxury agent could face. Knowing that I had the full support of our local office, and Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s national and international reach, we were confident we could find the right buyer. — Janet Whitworth, Premier Sotheby’s International Realty
“Timing is everything in this business, and fortunately for my buyers, I work in the same office with Janet Whitworth, who represented the sellers. Since this was an off-market listing, being in the right place at the right time was serendipitous, and my buyers were ready to make a move.” — Sharon Lingelbach, Premier Sotheby’s International Realty
