234 SkycliffA European estate above Asheville

The Residence

Set at 3,500 feet in Wildcat Cliffs, 234 Skycliff is secluded and serene, yet remarkably close to everything Asheville is known for.

Rear facade with columned terraces and a bay window tower

The owners built 234 Skycliff to capture the southern view of Cold Mountain, Mount Pisgah and the iconic peaks of the Blue Ridge. Inspired by their travels in Europe, they shaped an eclectic European home with a warm interior of rich golds, reds and greens, finished in Italian limestone, quarter-sawn oak, marble and Jerusalem gold limestone.

Their goal was a home that feels comfortably elegant. Every room has a view, and the estate is offered fully furnished, as a turnkey residence.

The Setting

Secluded on the ridge. Fifteen minutes to town.

Asheville has been called the “Paris of the South” and one of the country's top art destinations. Set in the Blue Ridge Mountains, it's home to the Grove Park Inn, the Biltmore Estate, America's largest private home, and the Grove Arcade, and it's the gateway to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Downtown's galleries, restaurants and microbreweries are about fifteen minutes from Wildcat Cliffs.
