The sale represents the most expensive closing of a single family residence in The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, and it is also within the top five highest residential closings in Buncombe County. Furthermore, and even more impressive, the sale represents the highest closing of any single family residence in one of the seven private, luxury Cliffs communities located in North Carolina and South Carolina.
The custom built, mountaintop home—8 Deer Grass Court—was completed in 2021 by Glenwood Custom Builders. Featured in Carolina Home + Garden magazine, the 7,110 square-foot home is an architectural wonder nestled atop Chestnut Mountain.
Intentionally constructed to be immersive with the natural landscape, the home is filled with connecting, large windows and uses slender steel architecture to intentionally create a seamless visual experience. The result is an elegant design with a treehouse-like effect and a modern aesthetic with breathtaking views from one side of the house to the other.
Befitting of a home of this stature, The Perch is equipped with the latest in technology, including a Lutron light system, geothermal heating and cooling, Sophie motorized shades in every room to manage light, and state-of-the-art appliances.
It's a truly unique home in the luxury gated community, represented by Walnut Cove Realty Broker and President, Josh Smith, western North Carolina’s top producing real estate agent. “Growing up here, I am innately familiar with the homes and land in The Cliffs at Walnut Cove,” says Smith of the record-breaking sale. “I knew from the moment I met with the sellers that The Perch would tick all the boxes for someone in this market.”
Using targeted marketing in feeder markets, Walnut Cove Realty connected with the Denver-based buyers. “It was a perfect fit for them—airport proximity, amenities, ease of access to downtown Asheville, and a mountain lifestyle with views and privacy,” says Smith.
New owners of The Perch, Doug and Lucinda Hanover, say, “Josh and the team at Walnut Cove Realty were exceptionally knowledgeable, detailed, and communicative. They immediately made us feel welcome! We were initially interested in a lot at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, however, Josh drove us through the community, spent time understanding our needs, and introduced us to the Perch and the former owners. He told us about the club amenities and history, and he knew the answers to all of our detailed questions once we were at the property.”
Of the overall experience, the Hanovers furthered, “Josh is an extraordinary professional and he made us feel comfortable every step of the way. He expertly guided us and the sellers through the entire process efficiently and confidently.”
Walnut Cove Realty has a $12,995,000 listing on the market in The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, located at 214 Folkestone Lane, Arden, a substantial record-breaker when its time comes. For now, Canopy MLS’ record for 2022 is a $7.2 million sale in Charlotte.
