We’re excited to share an update on the future of “The View of Asheville,” the breathtaking ±342-acre property we represented in a $7.4 million sale in 2023.
Buncombe County has announced that it’s one step closer to transforming this iconic ridgeline into a public park, thanks to a $4.475 million federal grant from the Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership program. In collaboration with the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy and with additional support from the NC Land and Water Fund, the county is working to acquire the land for long-term conservation and public use.
This property, also known as Spivey or Deaverview Mountain, is one of the most visible and significant landscapes near downtown Asheville. The sweeping views, mature hardwood forests, springs, meadows, and established trail network make it an ideal setting for outdoor recreation and environmental education. Plans for the park will preserve this unique ecosystem, protect the watershed, and provide locals and visitors with meaningful access to nature just six miles from the heart of the city.
When we brought this property to market, we knew it was something special. The views alone, stretching from the Biltmore Estate to Mount Mitchell, Cold Mountain, and beyond, are enough to take your breath away. But more than that, The View of Asheville represented an opportunity for visionary stewardship, and we’re thrilled to see it moving toward a future that prioritizes conservation, access, and long-term impact.
At Altamont Property Group, we’re proud to play a role in legacy land transactions like this one, where exceptional properties find their highest and best use—not just as investments, but as assets for the entire community. We look forward to seeing this incredible place become one of the region’s most treasured public spaces.
