Asheville

125 Carolina Lily Lane is a 2024 modern A-frame home located eight minutes from downtown Asheville. The 4-bedroom, 4 full and 2 half bath home offers 4,042 square feet on 2.43 wooded acres with near-range mountain views, and it is one of the few properties near downtown Asheville where short-term rental (STR) use is permitted.

Mornings here begin with coffee beneath a vaulted wood ceiling, light pouring through a wall of floor-to-ceiling glass as the mountains to the northeast come into focus above the trees. By evening, you might be at dinner downtown or gathered around the fire table on the deck before settling into the hot tub as the forest goes quiet around you.

The great room is the heart of the home, with a soaring vaulted ceiling, a fireplace, and a full wall of windows framing the mountain views and surrounding hardwood forest. The kitchen is designed for gathering, with a large island and stainless steel appliances, opening to the dining area. A guest suite and half bath complete the main level. The entire upper floor is reserved for the primary suite, a private retreat set away the rest of the home. The lower level adds a large family room, two guest suites, a bonus room, and a half bath, creating a second living area for family, guests, or multiple traveling groups.

Outdoor living includes a large back deck with a fire table and grilling area, plus a lower patio with a large hot tub. A gravel driveway accommodates up to six vehicles, with a parking pad offering room to add a carport or garage in the future. The home also features a five-stage whole-home water purification system and high-speed internet suited to remote work.

The home sits outside Asheville city limits in Buncombe County and is not subject to the Town Mountain Preserve CCRs, so short-term rental use is permitted. It currently operates as a successful Airbnb, holding a 5.0 rating across guest reviews and is recognized as an Airbnb Guest Favorite in the top 1% of eligible homes. The property is offered fully furnished and turnkey, ready to continue hosting guests immediately or to serve as a private mountain retreat.

Town Mountain is one of Asheville’s most sought-after areas, known for wooded privacy, mountain views, and quick access to the city. Downtown Asheville’s restaurants, breweries, galleries, and music venues are minutes away, along with the River Arts District, the Biltmore Estate, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. This home is well suited for buyers seeking a short-term rental investment near downtown Asheville, a second home set inside a gated mountain community, or a primary residence with room for family and guests.
