196 Rockhold DR Asheville, NC 28804

Immaculately cared for and filled with an abundance of sunlight, this private and gorgeously manicured contemporary mountain retreat offers the perfect blend of serenity and convenience—just a ten-minute drive to downtown Asheville. Situated on a Town Mountain lot of almost an acre, let your worries drift away as you relax in your sunroom, surrounded by the beauty of nature and mature landscaping. From many spots around the property, you'll enjoy peekaboo mountain views as well (which can be opened up even more with minor selective clearing).

This home features beautiful hardwood floors throughout the main level, a custom-designed gas fireplace in the living room (2020), plus three bedrooms and two full bathrooms on the upper level, including a spacious primary suite and a two-car attached garage on the main level.

Designed to bring the outdoors in and connect with the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the home showcases a dramatic wall of windows and patio doors, offering peaceful wooded views and creating a seamless connection to nature. Expansive decks, a large screened-in porch, and a gorgeous brick and stone patio provide ideal spaces for relaxing or entertaining year-round.

Located outside city limits (no city taxes!) near the Blue Ridge Parkway, but less than three miles to downtown Asheville, this home offers easy access to restaurants, grocery stores, local attractions, plus music, hiking, biking, golf, and endless outdoor adventures—making it perfect as a full-time residence, a luxurious mountain getaway, and/or continuing as the “Town Mountain Breeze” vacation rental.
