Perched at the top of Couch Mountain, with full 180-degree mountain views, this exceptional 2.88-acre homesite presents a rare opportunity to create a private mountain retreat where nature and design harmonize effortlessly. Unlike most summit parcels, this property offers the uncommon gift of gentle topography, an inviting canvas for your architectural vision. Here, dramatic boulder formations rise from the landscape, grounding the site in strength and permanence while framing sweeping, long-range mountain views that shift with the light and seasons. The homesite’s position at the summit ensures privacy and breathtaking panoramas, while its flat contours allow for ease of construction, outdoor living spaces and gardens that would be impossible on steeper terrain. For those seeking an expanded estate, the adjacent home and lot are also available, offering the potential to create a legacy property at one of Couch Mountain’s desirable vantage points. Couch Mountain itself is a gated conservation community unlike any other, encompassing 395 acres of preserved forest and just 81 thoughtfully placed homesites. This is a place where stewardship of the land is woven into daily life, where peace and privacy coexist with opportunities for connection. Residents enjoy miles of wooded recreational trails that wind through undisturbed forest, as well as two thriving community gardens that invite the joy of cultivation and sharing. With a mission rooted in wellness, sustainability and environmental preservation, Couch Mountain embodies a lifestyle that is as responsible as it is rewarding. This mountaintop property is conveniently 15 minutes from the Asheville Airport, and halfway in between Asheville and Hendersonville for quick and easy access to both communities. With community allowed seven-day rentals, this home is ideal for a lock-and-leave lifestyle with opportunities for potential income when not in use. It is a rare chance to craft not just a home but a legacy, an estate where serenity, connection and possibility converge atop the mountain. This is more than land. It is an invitation to create a life elevated, rooted in nature and inspired by the beauty of the Blue Ridge.
