About this home

Atop the World: 1.24-Acre Luxury View Site in The Settings of Black Mountain Ready to build without the typical mountain headaches? Positioned in the premier, gated community of The Settings of Black Mountain, this expansive 1.24-acre estate homesite offers the ultimate canvas for your custom mountain masterpiece. Imagine waking up to sweeping, year-round views of the iconic Seven Sisters and Craggy mountain ranges, watching the morning mist rise over the valley, and looking down at the twinkling lights of downtown Black Mountain below. What truly sets this lot apart is its balance of convenient seclusion. While nestled against a mature, 115-acre nature conservation preserve with miles of hiking trails, you are decidedly not isolated. 5 Minutes to the award-winning restaurants, local breweries, and artisan shops of downtown Black Mountain. 1 Mile to gourmet markets, coffee shops, and the premium indoor pool/fitness facilities at Cheshire Village. 20 Minutes to the vibrant cultural center of downtown Asheville. Building on a mountain slope can be daunting, but 97 Settings Blvd provides an incredibly premium head start with rare, city-grade conveniences already at the lot line: Connected directly to city water and public sewer (no costly well-drilling or septic complications). High-speed fiber-optic internet and underground electric/natural gas preserve your pristine mountain views. Premium paved roads with curbing and structural sidewalks-a genuinely rare luxury for high-elevation Western NC neighborhoods. As an owner, you gain access to an immaculately run, debt-free, owner-governed HOA with top-tier community spaces: A stunning stone-and-timber craftsman clubhouse featuring a massive double-sided stone fireplace and over 1,000 sq. ft. of viewing decks. Over 2 miles of professionally maintained hiking trails tracking pristine mountain creeks. Community nature parks, a playground, and dark-sky compliant infrastructure to maximize stargazing.
