JUST LISTED: 47 Drakes Meadow Lane, Arden, North Carolina
Welcome to a reimagined South Asheville sanctuary where modern elegance meets effortless everyday living. Having just completed an extensive round of premium upgrades in September 2026, this expansive home perfectly balances sophisticated design with the warm, welcoming comfort your lifestyle deserves.
From the moment you step inside, the home invites you to gather. The main level has been masterfully transformed into a bright, open-concept haven where the family room—anchored by soaring vaulted ceilings and a cozy gas-log fireplace—now flows seamlessly into the chef’s kitchen. Gleaming, brand-new oak hardwood floors guide you through the main living spaces and into the private main-level primary suite, a restful retreat complete with luxury Hunter Douglas window coverings and a spa-like ensuite featuring a deep soaking tub and custom tile shower.
Whether hosting formal dinner parties in the dedicated dining room and elegant formal living room, or enjoying a casual morning at the large kitchen island breakfast bar, the layout accommodates every occasion. Upstairs, the thoughtful updates continue with fresh oak hardwoods, ultra-durable and pet-friendly Stainmaster carpeting, and a versatile bonus room ready to become your home theater, gym, or playroom. Three additional upstairs bedrooms offer generous accommodations, supported by two fully reimagined bathrooms outfitted with premium Kohler fixtures, sleek new vanities, and pristine countertops.
The seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living makes this property an entertainer's dream. Step out onto the expansive composite deck, where modern cable railings and integrated lighting set the mood for evening stargazing. Below, a beautifully stamped concrete patio hosts an included eight-person hot tub, an outdoor TV, and a natural gas grill setup perfect for game-day barbecues. All of this overlooks a vast, level, and beautifully landscaped backyard equipped with an underground invisible dog fence and a handy garden shed.

📍 New Listing | Hemphill Road, Waynesville | MLS #4420171
10 unrestricted acres rising toward a ridge — with the kind of long-range mountain view potential that makes land buyers stop scrolling.
This untouched parcel in Waynesville offers privacy, natural beauty, and real upside. The property climbs toward a Ridgeline where selective tree clearing could open up impressive mountain vistas. Natural mountain springs, an existing logging road through the upper elevations, and an easement access road are already in place.
No restrictions — bring your vision. Private retreat, vacation getaway, full-time residence, or simply your own piece of the mountains to hike and explore.
About a mile from the Chattahoochee Divide Trail. Convenient to Cataloochee Ski Area, Maggie Valley, Waynesville, Lake Junaluska, Harrah's Cherokee Casino, and I-40.
10 acres of mountain land with ridge-top potential — this one is worth a look.
