The Space:

If long range mountain views are what you are seeking, seek no further!  This house has an interesting history, is environmentally friendly, and has amazing views throughout the entire house! With 3 bedrooms and a magnificent covered deck addition, there is plenty of room for a family gathering, or friends looking for the perfect mountain get away! Skyfall's owners are pet lovers and extend a warm welcome to your canine family members.



SkyFall is a two level home that features the living area, dining and kitchen, and master on the second level with original art throughout the home.  The house was designed with large viewing windows throughout with jaw-dropping views of Misty Mountain,  Asheville, Grandfather Mountain and even Charlotte on a clear day!!! You will love the open area concept for entertaining and being around your family and friends, but never having to sacrifice the view! 



Skyfall, with a unique "duo-decagon on top of an octagon" design, sits at the top of Fair Mountain and is situated so that the Eastern Continental Divide runs right through the living room. The home was built in 1984 "off the grid." The house was self-sufficient. Solar panels on the south side provided hot water, heat and electricity. The solar panels are no longer present, but SkyFall continues to minimize environmental impact.  This home is warmed by "hydro-heat," has 12 inch thick walls, and cools itself by venting hot air through the central skylight, drawing in cool air mountain air from below. There is no air conditioning unit in the home.



Skyfall is  furnished and decorated nicely and oh, so comfortable!  The living area has plush furniture, a gas log fireplace and a bar. The kitchen boasts granite countertops, new appliances, and all of the essentials you will need. Off the living area is the master bedroom with a king bed and newly remodeled private bathroom with a shower.  



The downstairs has 2 additional bedrooms with a jack-n-jill bathroom as well as a laundry room. One guest room has a queen bed and the other guest room features a queen bed and a set of twin bunk beds! Both bedrooms have flat screen smart tvs where you can log into your favorite streaming apps. You Tube TV is available in the family room. TV sound plays through the Sonos home theater system and when no one is watching TV you can stream music through the system.



Outside is really where this property comes alive! SkyFall's has a large covered porch with connected walkway to the Grandfather Deck. The Grandfather deck features new patio furniture and a gas grill. The covered deck has on the entry side has ample seating areas, a large dining area, wood burning fireplace (firewood not provided).



A cozy fire pit and Adirondack chairs are available on the lawn overlooking the breathtaking mountain view!  The property is newly landscaped and a portable hammock can be used for lounging in nature as its finest!



A quiet area for meditation or tea in the morning is located about a 3 minute walk below the awesome rock outcropping down from the Grandfather Deck on the west side of the house. There is a not-so-well marked pathway that begins at the back side of the house so you'll have to wander a bit to find this treasure.



The owners own the 15 acres that surround Sky Fall so you will have complete privacy. With views and privacy like this we know you won't want to leave when you get here!!
