Perched above Asheville with Blue Ridge views spilling across the decks, Leyland feels like the kind of mountain lodge built for big reunions, long dinners, and late-night stories by the fire. This $1.5M+ cabin-style mansion blends grand log-home character with group-friendly comfort, offering 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and sleeping space for up to 20 guests just minutes from Downtown Asheville.
Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, warm log walls, and oversized windows bring the Blue Ridge setting right into the home. The main living room is bright and inviting, with plush seating, a stone fireplace, and a TV for cozy nights after exploring Asheville. Nearby, the dining area and fully equipped kitchen make group meals simple, whether you're cooking a big breakfast before hiking or settling in for a slow dinner at home.
The outdoor spaces are where Leyland really shines. Multiple decks open to peaceful wooded surroundings and sweeping mountain views, with room for al fresco dining, morning coffee, and evening conversations under the trees. Unwind in the private hot tub, relax in the sauna, or gather around the fire pit as the mountain air cools. Between the views, the decks, and the spa-style amenities, the home is built for lingering outdoors.
When it's time to play, guests have plenty of options. The large recreation room with foosball and the garage game room create dedicated spaces for friendly competition, late-night laughs, and easy group entertainment. With additional sleeping space in the upstairs common area, Leyland is especially well-suited for family reunions, friend trips, and group getaways.
The location makes it easy to enjoy the best of Asheville without feeling far from nature. Downtown Asheville's restaurants, breweries, art galleries, and live music are under 10 minutes away, while nearby grocery shopping keeps the kitchen stocked with ease. From scenic drives along the Blue Ridge Parkway to afternoons exploring the River Arts District, Biltmore Estate, and the surrounding mountains, Leyland puts your group close to it all---then welcomes you back to a private mountain retreat designed for comfort, connection, and unforgettable views.
