“This is one of my favorite neighborhoods in Asheville. The location being so convenient to downtown, the parkway, hiking trails, and bull creek. So many places to explore just outside your front door!
This unique home and setting has an extra large lot with an apartment and a 1900 American chestnut cabin. This home was an original when this community was only a farm.
An ability to have a family compound in the gated community of one of Asheville’s most exclusive neighborhoods is truly special.
I love the second level deck overlooking the grounds with long range Mountain View’s. A perfect place to have your morning coffee or catch a sunset.“
Unparalleled opportunity to become the new steward of the original Sovereign Oaks’ homestead with long range views, detached garage with studio apartment and an additional 18th century American Chestnut cabin, all nestled on 2.25 acres. The main house has been reimagined recently through a lens of sustainability and low environmental impact design, the owners have created an inner sanctum for family and friends while embracing the Sovereign Oaks Community values. The 3-story brick home envelopes you in comfort and warmth while light dances through the open spaces. The original character abounds through wood burning fireplaces, refinished parquet floors and modern touches through geothermal heating/cooling, lighting, appliances and copper fixtures produce an effortless style.

Sovereign Oaks is a community of micro homesteads that focuses on agriculture and sustainable living located just outside of Asheville, North Carolina on 170 acres. The property was in the same family for over 200 years, and today the community encourages green building and preservation of the existing landscape. The sweeping meadows and mountain views. Residents are encouraged to have gardens, bees to support pollination, raise chickens, and more. Architectural guidelines are in place to promote continuity throughout the neighborhood. Homeowners will enjoy hiking trails (including access to the Warren Wilson College trail system), an apiary, a greenhouse, and a community garden. Quite possibly the best feature of Sovereign Oaks is its very convenient location, approximately 7 miles to downtown Asheville, NC.
