Main-Floor Living Mountain Home with Lake Lure Views | Gateway Mountain, Gated Community East of Asheville

This impressive mountain home offers year-round mountain and Lake Lure views, along with so many desirable features you truly must see it in person to experience it all. Located in Gateway Mountain, a gated community east of Asheville, this property sits well above the floodplain, offering exceptional privacy along with sweeping long-range views from east to west—perfect for sunrise coffee and sunset wine, all from your own private mountain retreat. Plenty of outdoor space on a level lot with easy access. 

The great room showcases a lofty A-frame cedar ceiling that perfectly frames the long-range mountain views. You'll love the Tuscan-inspired kitchen, featuring cherry cabinetry, leathered Brazilian granite countertops, a live-edge island, abundant storage, built-in appliances, and lighted display features.

Main floor living makes everyday life easy: the laundry and primary bedroom are conveniently located on this level, and both the bedroom and bathroom offer stunning long-range views. The primary suite includes his-and-hers walk-in closets and an en suite bathroom featuring a walk-in tiled shower and locally hand-thrown pottery sinks that highlight the region's artisan culture and craftsmanship. A large screened-in porch just off the primary bedroom extends your living space outdoors. With mountain views from nearly every room, this home truly brings the outdoors in.

Upstairs, two spacious, light-filled bedrooms share a large bathroom featuring a walk-in shower finished by a local artisan. Need more space? The unfinished basement is already plumbed for an additional bathroom and offers ample room to expand, with ceilings mostly over 8 feet (except at ductwork). With its own separate entrance and driveway, it's ideal for a private guest suite or additional living quarters.

The backyard is mostly fenced and thoughtfully landscaped with native trees, seasonal blooms, walking trails, and low-maintenance perennial beds—all the beauty of mountain living without the big-yard upkeep. Gateway Mountain's community amenities include Waterfall Park and Lake George, connected by scenic hiking trails, and short-term rentals are allowed—making this an ideal full-time residence, second home, or investment property.
