Request Free Quote Our clients wanted a “Colorado” lodge vibe… you know, the feeling of being in the mountains with a flowing stream… So, that’s what we gave them. When entering the property, you are greeted by a peaceful flowing stream located along the front of the home, and a wooden foot bridge leading to the front door – now that’s curb appeal! Surrounding the rock-lined stream are beds of native plants, grasses, shrub roses for color and seasonal evergreens. The backyard displays a multi-level paver patio, enclosed with a natural stone retaining wall and steps that travel up to the outdoor kitchen, which is set into the home’s fireplace. Also residing in the backyard is a natural stone pool deck, creating a more informal setting.

Set in the rolling hills of Asheville, NC, the Avant-Garde Manor is a masterpiece of custom home design. Honored with the NC Stars Award for Best Single Family Custom Home (4501–5500 square feet), this stunning collaboration with Buchanan Construction LLC reflects a balance of natural elements, modern sophistication, and warm, welcoming design. Every detail of this 5,296-square-foot home was thoughtfully crafted by our interior design team to create a luxurious modern farmhouse that feels at home in its scenic surroundings. A Blend of Warmth and Sophistication Step into the living room, where light wood beams stretch across the vaulted ceilings and natural light streams in through the unique, expansive windows. The interplay of textures—light wood flooring, warm-toned cabinetry, and natural stone countertops—sets the tone for a home that is both refined and inviting. Touches like elegant accent lighting and carefully chosen fixtures elevate the space, creating an atmosphere of understated luxury. These details, paired with the white walls and warm wood tones, make every room feel cohesive and timeless. Designed for Everyday Functionality The Avant-Garde Manor balances elegance with practicality, especially in its thoughtfully designed mudroom and laundry spaces. The mudroom features a built-in bench with hidden storage and plenty of hooks for coats and bags, leading into a laundry room outfitted with cabinetry, shelving, and hanging racks. It’s a setup that keeps your home organized, no matter how hectic the day gets. These spaces were designed with busy lives in mind, proving that function and beauty can coexist effortlessly. A Wine Cellar That Steals the Show One of the home’s standout features is the wine cellar, a space that combines functionality with artistry. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors reveal warm wood shelving, while a custom bar area with natural stone countertops, a beverage fridge, and glass-front cabinets adds sophistication. Built-in lighting completes the ambiance, making it a perfect spot for hosting guests or unwinding after a long day. Located just outside the wine cellar, a cozy bar area ties the space into the rest of the home, providing a seamless transition between entertaining and relaxation. Natural Light and Scenic Views Large windows throughout the home ensure that natural light is a constant presence, brightening every room while framing the breathtaking views of Asheville’s landscape. This thoughtful use of light not only enhances the interiors but also creates a sense of harmony between the home and its surroundings. From the living areas to the bedrooms, this connection to nature helps define the Avant-Garde Manor’s unique charm—a luxurious retreat that feels effortlessly connected to the outdoors. A Patio That Blends Luxury and Nature Just outside the living room, the large patio deck extends the living space into the outdoors, offering a seamless connection to nature. Perfectly framed by large glass panels that showcase the lush greenery surrounding the property, the patio’s open-concept design creates a serene, retreat-like atmosphere. The deck features a striking geometric wood-look pattern in rich natural tones, adding a unique and elegant touch. We chose this contemporary, cream-colored seating to brighten up the space and bring some modern luxury to the deck. The grand, stacked stone fireplace, with earthy hues brings texture and rustic charm to the space. Built for Every Moment The Avant-Garde Manor was designed to adapt to every kind of moment, from quiet evenings by the double-sided fireplace to lively gatherings in the open-concept kitchen. Custom details like accent walls, built-in desks, and elegant light fixtures make this home as functional as it is beautiful. Whether entertaining guests or enjoying the peace and quiet of Asheville’s natural beauty, this award-winning modern farmhouse is a true reflection of comfortable luxury.

This beautiful water feature has been emptied for fall but even still is a stunning addition to this backyard. The karl foerster grasses really stand out in fall when the summer colours start to fade.
