Luxe Forest Home•2 mi. to Downtown•HotTub•FirePit

A luxury hideaway minutes from Asheville’s heart
Just two miles from downtown Asheville yet tucked into almost an acre of woodland, Nanas Branch blends upscale design with the rustic beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Start your morning with coffee on a forest‑view deck and end your evening soaking in a six‑person hot tub under twinkle lights and stars. Professionally designed interiors feature new furnishings, a gourmet kitchen with granite counters and high‑end appliances, and a living room with vaulted ceilings, stone fireplace and 4K smart TV. Outside, multiple fireplaces, a BBQ grill and a fire pit invite you to gather amid the trees while still being close to Asheville’s dining and nightlife.
