Black Mountain, NC 28711

Perched high within the gated mountain community of Creston, this remarkable Arts & Crafts home offers an extraordinary blend of privacy, craftsmanship, and sweeping Blue Ridge Mountain vistas. Set across more than 10 pristine acres comprised of three parcels, the property rests among mature forest and protected land, creating a peaceful mountain sanctuary just 7 miles from charming Black Mountain and approximately 25 miles from Asheville’s renowned dining, arts, and cultural scene. Approached through the serene landscape of Creston—where over half of the community’s land is preserved in conservation—the home reveals a thoughtfully designed retreat centered around a beautifully crafted 3,000-square-foot main residence accompanied by a separate three-bedroom guest cottage. The home was originally designed and built by a noted architect, blending classic Arts & Crafts character with modern comfort and livability. Inside, expansive windows frame breathtaking long-range mountain views from nearly every room, filling the interiors with natural light and showcasing the surrounding forested ridgelines. The open-concept layout creates a natural flow between living spaces, highlighted by a dramatic great room with large windows, coffered ceilings, and a striking stone fireplace. A spacious dining area connects seamlessly to the gourmet kitchen, where granite countertops, a large center island, JennAir gas range with commercial hood, and walk-in pantry create a chef-ready environment ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The separate guest cottage offers three bedrooms and additional living space, providing comfort and privacy for visiting family and friends or the potential for a private retreat or rental opportunity. Together, the two dwellings create a versatile estate perfectly suited for a primary residence, mountain getaway, or investment property. Outdoors, the property unfolds into a tranquil mountain setting where long-range views stretch across the Blue Ridge Mountains. Residents enjoy access to Creston’s exceptional community amenities, including scenic hiking trails, waterfalls, paved roads, high-speed internet, a mountaintop community and fitness center, and a welcoming atmosphere with active community groups. Combining architectural charm, protected natural surroundings, and exceptional proximity to both Asheville and Black Mountain, this Creston estate offers a rare opportunity to experience refined mountain living in one of Western North Carolina’s most serene gated communities.
