Set across approximately 12.5 +/- acres of unspoiled, unrestricted, mountain terrain, 169 Pickens Road presents a strikingly elevated take on contemporary living—where refined design meets the quiet beauty of the Blue Ridge landscape. Ideally positioned just a short drive from both downtown Asheville and the charm of Weaverville, the setting offers a seamless balance of privacy and accessibility.
The residence has undergone an extensive transformation, showcasing a clean, modern aesthetic defined by expansive glass, intentional sightlines, and light-filled interiors that frame sweeping, long-range mountain views. Recent improvements—including a newly installed roof and additional thoughtful updates throughout—enhance both the home’s appeal and long-term peace of mind.
Inside, the main level unfolds with impressive volume and fluidity, connecting living, dining, and kitchen spaces in a way that feels both sophisticated and inviting. The kitchen itself is designed as both a focal point and a functional workspace, blending streamlined finishes with everyday practicality. Radiant heated and cooled flooring spans both levels, delivering year-round comfort with understated luxury.
Two well-appointed primary suites offer private, spa-like retreats, while additional flexible spaces provide versatility for guests, work-from-home needs, or creative use. The lower level reveals a distinctive entertaining experience—a hidden speakeasy complete with a custom wine cellar and full bar, creating an intimate atmosphere unlike anything else.
Complementing the main residence is a detached studio positioned above a single-car garage, offering a private and inspiring space ideal for artistic pursuits, a home office, or continued use as a creative studio. With its separation from the main home, this structure also presents an excellent opportunity for conversion into an accessory dwelling unit, adding both functionality and long-term value.
Outdoor living is equally compelling, with four separate decks positioned to capture the surrounding mountain vistas, including a secluded deck directly off the primary suite. Beyond the home, the property unfolds into a landscape of rolling meadow and wooded acreage, complete with a network of private trails and a serene, tucked-away pond that enhances the sense of retreat. These trails wind gracefully throughout the property, offering an immersive way to experience the land—whether for horseback riding, ATV or dirt bike adventures, or quiet evening walks surrounded by nature.
On top of all of this - the sellers are offering an extended home warranty until September of 2028 to truly give you peace of mind. Additionally - the home is being offered furnished as a separate option! This is an opportunity to step into a fully realized mountain estate—where modern luxury, natural beauty, and intentional design come together in a truly exceptional way.
