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.
