Mountain views, pickleball, hot tub, guest cottage, fire pits w/free Biltmore pass

Boulder Ridge is a mountaintop retreat on nearly four tranquil acres with two homes, a hot tub, fire pits, pickleball and sweeping mountain views. This beautifully passive-solar estate includes a main house, guest cottage, “Bike Shack” hangout, two disc golf goals, and multiple outdoor living spaces—perfect for groups, reunions, or retreats. FREE activities including Biltmore, Rock Wall, Zipline, Whitewater Rafting, Trampoline Park, Snow Tubing and Axe Throwing.

Imagine mornings filled with sunlight streaming through soaring south-facing windows and evenings by the fire under a blanket of stars, coffee in hand, breathing fresh mountain air. Families, friends, and colleagues gather here to connect, share stories, and recharge—rooted in Pisgah Forest's timeless beauty yet free to explore adventure at every turn.

This 3,927 square foot contemporary home welcomes you with an open-plan kitchen, sun-drenched living areas, and a private work nook. Antique chandeliers from Asheville's historic Battery Park Hotel add a touch of elegance, while unique features like an exposed boulder on the deck and a deluxe dog kennel under the stairs make the home unforgettable. The main house offers three bedrooms and three full baths, including a main suite with a king bed, sitting area, private balcony, and ensuite bath. Two additional bedrooms each have two queen beds, and there is a full sleeper sofa in a cozy upstairs sitting area. Guests can relax with streaming TV, gather at the poker table, or enjoy a game of darts or indoor shuffleboard.

The guest cottage is a comfortable, fully equipped two-bedroom, two-bath residence that provides extra privacy for larger groups. It features a king suite with an ensuite bath and a bunk room with four twin beds, along with a kitchen, laundry area, and welcoming living space. For post-adventure relaxation, the “Bike Shack” offers a fun and casual hangout with bar seating, a mini-fridge, a dart board, and secure storage for gear.

Outdoors, you'll find a boulder-framed patio with a fireplace, a hot tub with mountain views, two fire pits, covered decks, a grill, and a bench at the edge of the property's signature boulder with panoramic views. The grounds also feature two professional disc golf baskets and plenty of quiet spaces to enjoy the scenery. Boulder Ridge is located in a quiet and scenic setting with easy access to Pisgah Forest and Asheville—approximately 15 minutes to Brevard, 29 minutes to Asheville Regional Airport, and 53 minutes to downtown Asheville.

Pisgah Forest offers a peaceful, scenic retreat beloved for its outdoor lifestyle. Known for its family-friendly and dog-friendly charm, this area hosts an abundance of hiking, mountain biking, waterfalls, and streams. It's nestled just outside charming Brevard and a short drive from Asheville's cultural highlights—offering the perfect balance of adventure and comfort.

Please note the property's natural boulder patio and overlook do not have railings, which is ideal for adventurous guests but something to consider for families with small children. The Bike Shack does not have air conditioning. This home is dog-friendly for up to two dogs with a maximum combined weight of 150 pounds, with a pet fee required. Please no cats. We are so excited to host your visit! The Pete Key Properties team welcomes you and is here to help create a memorable experience. Enjoy the free activities described above, and you can also book helicopter tours, e-bikes, wellness tours and hiking and more through our Activity Concierge. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or need anything at all. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Relaxing wedding weekend

We loved the space we all had. It’s roomy and had everything we needed. Some recommendations: new pans, we cook quite a bit and the surfaces were pretty scratched up. New lighting for bathrooms. When you are getting ready for a wedding etc you need lighting.. We would stay here again loved the views and the porch.
