Jason Weil designed this house in 2016, not for a client but in conjunction with the builder who ultimately built it for himself and his family. They chose this half-acre site in North Asheville for its balance of year-round mountain views and wooded privacy. The setting shapes the experience. Partially cleared and partially wooded, the upper levels sit within a natural canopy, treehouse-like in summer, with mountain views opening wide in winter. The home offers five bedrooms, five and a half baths, and more than 5,100 square feet across three levels. The main level features a primary suite with spa bath and private mountain-view balcony. The upper level holds two additional bedroom suites, each with their own flex space, connected by a loft library. The lower level includes a fifth bedroom and a fully self-contained one-bedroom apartment with its own kitchen, laundry, separate entry, and dedicated parking — equally suited as a guest suite, rental, or multigenerational living space. Inside, a double-height entry with exposed beams and a floating staircase sets the tone. The main living area rises two stories, anchored by a fireplace and framed in timber and glass. It feels open and expansive, yet still grounded. The kitchen centers on an island that connects directly to the living space, with a walk-in pantry just off to the side. From the two-car garage, a well-lit mudroom leads to the laundry and a tucked-away office nook, creating an everyday layout that is both practical and well considered. The primary suite is on the main level, with a spa bath that includes heated floors, a curbless walk-in shower, and a soaking tub, along with a private balcony overlooking the mountains. There is over 1,000 square feet of outdoor living space beyond the 260 square foot screened porch. A back deck with cable railings preserves the treetop views, offering space for dining and cooking. From there, steps lead down to a stone patio, hot tub, and fire pit at the edge of the woods. Upstairs are two ensuite bedrooms, a loft, and flexible bonus space. The lower level includes two additional bedrooms, a family room, and the apartment, well-suited for guests, extended family, or rental use. Morning light fills the front of the home, while afternoon sun settles across the back deck and into the woods beyond. Wildlife is part of the setting, with regular sightings of deer and turkey, giving the property a sense of being further out than it is. Photovoltaic solar panels significantly offset energy costs. The garage is finished with polished concrete floors, built-in storage, a workbench, and an EV charger. No HOA, no gate, no restrictions — just privacy that feels earned by the land itself. The home is just minutes from North Asheville and Beaver Lake. A well-built, thoughtfully maintained custom home, ready for its next chapter.
