Less than 10 miles from downtown Asheville and surrounded by expansive Blue Ridge Mountain views, this spectacular new western North Carolina residential development offers buyers a perfect balance of privacy and accessibility in one of America's leading retirement and vacation home markets.
Ciel's low-density master plan features a total of 25 custom homesites spread over 117 acres of forested mountain real estate, with hiking trails and picnic areas, a beautiful organic garden and a rustic open-air pavilion for community gatherings. Individual lots range from about 2 to 10 acres, and each eco-friendly luxury home will combine quality modern construction and natural rock and wood exteriors with green design and building practices endorsed by the NC HealthyBuilt Homes program.
Ciel is convenient to shopping, dining and cultural attractions in nearby Asheville, and to the mountain region's celebrated outdoor attractions, including world-class golf, fly-fishing, hiking and fall foliage.
Acreage: 117 acres (47 hectares)
Community Pavilion: Located in a park-like common area set back from the main entrance, the open-air pavilion measures almost 30 by 40 feet. The pavilion provides a venue for seasonal events, family barbecues and impromptu gatherings, with a fire pit for warming up cool autumn evenings.
Private Garden: A lush organic garden located adjacent to the community pavilion will be a source of colorful homegrown flowers and fresh vegetables.
Recreation: Ciel also features a network of private trails offering access to scenic mountain views and secluded nature areas ideal for picnicking, yoga or meditation. Abundant public parklands in the surrounding region provide endless opportunities for hiking and camping, horseback riding, rock climbing, mountain biking, skiing and other outdoor activities.
Golf Nearby: Golfers will find an outstanding selection of public and private courses in the area, including the Scottish links-style Reems Creek Golf Club in nearby Weaverville, the acclaimed Grove Park Inn & Spa resort course in Asheville (designed in the 1920s by Donald Ross), the private Country Club of Asheville (only 5 minutes from the community), and the engaging and affordable Asheville Municipal Golf Course (another historic Donald Ross design).
Boating & Fishing: Residents will enjoy easy access to superb fly-fishing in the sparkling rivers and streams of the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains, and to recreational boating and fishing about an hour from the development at Lake Lure and Lake James.
