About this property

Wintersun.. A World Class Private Estate Atop A Mountain 15 min from Asheville

  • Welcome to your very own piece of paradise only 15 minutes from Asheville, North Carolina where you will enjoy your time away from the cares of this world. Located on a 150 acre gated estate, Wintersun sets itself apart from other mountain homes.

    As soon as you drive through the gates, you will pass a rushing trout stream, drive through a lush green valley, cross over the bridge by the trickle down ponds, pass the horses playing in a mountain meadow and drive up and away to the fern and flower-bedecked verandah, which offers a comfortable seat and a breathtaking view.

    The environment is a contrast in expansiveness and intimacy. From the verandah mountain ranges recede into smoky blue shadows, while on the arbor side the stone garden climbs 50 feet flanking a 24-foot waterfall surrounded by an enclosed lawn.

    Inside the elegant country home are spacious rooms furnished with oriental rugs, antiques, huge stone fireplaces, books galore, with deep chairs and sofas for leisurely pursuits. All 5 of Wintersun's bedrooms are beautifully appointed with fine furnishings, designer fabrics, lush linens, down comforters, private baths, cozy seating, and fireplaces, with fabulous views of the blue ridge mountains.

    For disc golf lovers, in addition to 4 miles of private hiking trails there are 2 private disc golf courses which have been rated as one of the best private courses on the east coast.

We really enjoyed our stay at Wintersun. The front porch was our favorite spot to sit by the fire pits and enjoy the sunsets and mountain view’s. The hiking trails and the labyrinth were also highlights of our stay.

My daughters wanted to come back to the castle! This place is monstrous. There’s plenty of room for everybody to relax, unwind and explore…. Including the dogs!! Bring your bug repellent if you go out on the trails though….. in warm weather there are ticks.

Amazing property!

We stayed here and hosted a micro wedding on the property (20 people) and it was incredible! The house was large enough to have 10 people stay there plus have additional guests to hangout and didn’t feel crammed. The attention to detail of the property is incredible. Had a great time playing disc golf and walking around. Can’t wait to come back!

Sober Disc Golf Trip

Incredible property with a short but interesting history of its development. Custom built to be a resort retreat for Non-Profit executives/employees. Operated as a high end B&B / Inn for over a decade. Every bedroom has a full bathroom and every room has a working gas fireplace. Beautifully landscaped and very well cared for.

60th Birthday party

The host and caretaker were amazing and very responsive. The property was even more incredible than the photos could show. Nothing beats having acres of land to yourself allowing you to laugh loud and enjoy your music late into the evening. Plenty of kitchen space for the private Chef we hired for a speacial dinner.

Beautiful Wintersun

We just love this property. It is the second time we have stayed at Wintersun. What a comfortable and special place. The hiking trails, labyrinth and evenings on the front porch with the fire pits roaring watching the beautiful mountain sunsets. Close to Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is a very special place. We will be back. Thank you for sharing the Wintersun Inn.
