Wintersun.. A World Class Private Estate Atop A Mountain 15 min from Asheville

Welcome to your very own piece of paradise only 15 minutes from Asheville, North Carolina where you will enjoy your time away from the cares of this world. Located on a 150 acre gated estate, Wintersun sets itself apart from other mountain homes.

As soon as you drive through the gates, you will pass a rushing trout stream, drive through a lush green valley, cross over the bridge by the trickle down ponds, pass the horses playing in a mountain meadow and drive up and away to the fern and flower-bedecked verandah, which offers a comfortable seat and a breathtaking view.

The environment is a contrast in expansiveness and intimacy. From the verandah mountain ranges recede into smoky blue shadows, while on the arbor side the stone garden climbs 50 feet flanking a 24-foot waterfall surrounded by an enclosed lawn.

Inside the elegant country home are spacious rooms furnished with oriental rugs, antiques, huge stone fireplaces, books galore, with deep chairs and sofas for leisurely pursuits. All 5 of Wintersun's bedrooms are beautifully appointed with fine furnishings, designer fabrics, lush linens, down comforters, private baths, cozy seating, and fireplaces, with fabulous views of the blue ridge mountains.

For disc golf lovers, in addition to 4 miles of private hiking trails there are 2 private disc golf courses which have been rated as one of the best private courses on the east coast.

Another great trip to Wintersun! Six years and counting! Judy was awesome as always to work with! It was a little chilly this trip, but that did not keep us inside the entire time. We enjoyed hiking the property and trails as well as the daily walk to the road each morning to get your heart going! Lot's of deer roaming the property. Lots of fun things to do close by and in Asheville,. Our trip to " Little Biltmore" was wonderful and we will be back next year!

Wonderful mountain property, outstanding views, comfortable, spacious and ideal for my three partners, their wives, my wife and me to gather for our annual get together. We particularly enjoyed having our morning coffee on the huge back deck while watching deer feeding within a stone's throw in front of us. Our hostess was gracious and at our beck and call should we need anything. Would highly recommend and have already booked my return trip.

Breathtaking.

We love getting away as a family. North Carolina as been one of our favorite places to head. We booked this beautiful home, due to it's location. The home, the grounds, and the homeowners are amazing. The home and the grounds were beautiful, peaceful, and left you not lacking in anything. With in the first hour of being there, we all stated we were staying again, no ifs ands or buts. If you get a chance to stay here, DO IT!, you want be disappointed!
