About this property

Inside the gates of Ventana, 76 Villa Nova Drive offers 6.5 acres at the top of the mountain and a western horizon that layers ridge after ridge toward the Blue Ridge and the Smokies. At close to 3,000 feet, the view holds through every season, and evenings bring sunsets across the full sweep of the long range. Ventana is a gated community of custom homes set along paved roads and wooded walking trails, with architectural reviews that protect the character of the neighborhood as it grows. New homes continue to take shape throughout the community, pairing the reassurance of established neighbors with the quiet of a private mountain estate. Merrimon Avenue and its everyday conveniences are a short drive down the mountain, and downtown Asheville's restaurants, galleries and music venues are close enough for an easy evening out. Much of the groundwork is already done. The property was cleared and prepared for a substantial residence in 2015, with a level homesite at the summit positioned to capture the western view. The remaining acreage stays wooded, a natural buffer of hardwoods that frames the view and keeps the setting private at the end of a cul-de-sac. Ventana is served by underground utilities, with city water, city sewer and high-speed internet available within the community. Building standards call for a minimum of 1,500 square feet. For the buyer who has been waiting for land with this kind of outlook so close to town, Villa Nova Drive offers the chance to design a home around the view first, in one of North Asheville's most private gated communities.
