Timeless Charm and Natural Beauty Shine in This $5.9 Million North Carolina Estate Retreat
Tucked away in the lush landscape of The Ramble, one of the region’s most desirable private communities, 268 Holly Arbor Ln is a rare offering that balances storybook charm with refined sophistication. Listed at $5,900,000, this extraordinary estate spans 7,279 square feet with eight bedrooms and nine bathrooms, surrounded by over four acres of curated gardens, fern-covered forests, and natural meadows.
Originally built in 1994 and completely renovated in 2022, the home has been reimagined to accommodate both luxurious living and serene retreat. From the dramatic post-and-beam ceilings to the floor-to-ceiling stone fireplaces and over 2,000 square feet of outdoor living space, every inch of the property exudes craftsmanship. “This is the kind of home you never want to leave,” says Leslie Young of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty. “The current owners poured their hearts into making 268 Holly Arbor Ln feel like a timeless mountain sanctuary.”

A Mountain Estate With Purpose and Flexibility
Beyond its architectural elegance, the estate offers versatility rarely seen in Asheville’s high-end market. The property includes two fully appointed guest cottages and a conservatory, perfect for visitors or multi-generational living. Unlike many homes in The Ramble, there are no architectural or rental restrictions—an uncommon level of freedom in a prestigious, gated neighborhood.
“This estate gives buyers what so many are searching for: security, beauty, and the flexibility to live as they choose,” Leslie tells Luxury Houses Magazine. “There are very few properties in Asheville Real Estate that offer this level of privacy and adaptability without compromise.”
268 Holly Arbor Ln features state-of-the-art amenities, including a chef’s kitchen with dual ovens, a gas range, and walk-in pantry, radiant floor heating, a full-home generator, and zoned climate control. Multiple en-suite bedrooms, expansive gathering areas, and a cathedral-ceiling dining room make the residence as functional as it is beautiful.

A Rising Star in North Carolina Real Estate
The home’s value has seen significant growth in recent years, a testament to both the quality of the renovation and the strength of the North Carolina Real Estate market. It last sold in 2020 for $2.6 million—less than half of its current asking price. The remarkable appreciation underscores the increased demand for luxury homes with acreage and privacy near vibrant lifestyle cities like Asheville.
While tucked in a wooded enclave, 268 Holly Arbor Ln is only 15 minutes from downtown Asheville. Residents enjoy easy access to the area’s acclaimed restaurants, galleries, and artisan markets, along with the nearby Blue Ridge Parkway and Biltmore Estate. The surrounding community offers walking trails, natural creeks, and high-end conveniences without the rigidity of HOA mandates.
“This home is about connection—to nature, to luxury, and to lifestyle,” Leslie adds. “It’s a place where every sunrise feels like a gift and every evening is peaceful. My clients often tell me they’ve never experienced anything quite like it.”
