An Architectural Masterpiece with Panoramic Mountain Views in Western North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains. Perched at 2,840 feet along a dramatic ridgeline in the prestigious Cliffs at Walnut Cove, 515 Cloud Top Way is a one-of-a-kind architectural triumph blending contemporary design with eco-conscious living. Located in Arden, North Carolina, just south of downtown Asheville, this extraordinary estate offers a front-row seat to the natural beauty of Western North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains. Spanning 7,362 heated square feet across two expansive levels, this bespoke residence was designed by Young and Young Architects and custom built by Glenwood Custom Builders. It offers unmatched luxury, privacy, and unobstructed north-, east-, and south-facing mountain views. Featured in Carolina Home + Garden’s Winter 2023 edition, the home sits on 2.46 private acres adjoining protected national forest land - a true sanctuary for those seeking peace, elevation, and connection to nature. Inside, walls of glass frame the horizon while wood, steel, stone, and backlit quartzite create a refined yet organic aesthetic. The main living level features a dramatic great room, a showpiece kitchen with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, a quartzite backsplash with integrated lighting, and a separate back kitchen complete with refrigerator, microwave, oven, and ice maker - perfect for hosting. Additional highlights include a sophisticated bar room and a professional-grade fitness center outfitted with Cybex and Hammer Strength equipment, along with a Precor treadmill and elliptical. A three-car garage supports a range of vehicles and includes a built-in EV charging station. The six-bedroom layout is both spacious and private, with most bedrooms offering ensuite baths. Outdoor living is equally exceptional, anchored by an infinity-edge pool with spa that overlooks the mountains. The adjacent cabana is equipped with a large outdoor TV and motorized retractable screens that create a fully screened lounge at the touch of a button. The home is enhanced by a full Lutron system controlling lighting and window shades, Sonos whole-home audio, Tesla Powerwall, solar panels, a Generac generator, and a comprehensive security system with exterior surveillance - a perfect blend of beauty, technology, and energy independence. Residents enjoy access to The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, one of Western North Carolina’s premier gated communities, offering a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, clubhouse, fitness and wellness center, fine dining, tennis, and scenic hiking trails. A Cliffs Club membership is available by separate application. Just minutes from downtown Asheville, Asheville Regional Airport, and the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, 515 Cloud Top Way represents the pinnacle of luxury mountain living in the heart of Western North Carolina.
