About the property

Sprawling 5,484 Sq Ft Home in Gated Poplar Ridge

Drive through the gated entrance of Poplar Ridge and the first thing that arrests you is the generous scale of this property — a two-story great room that announces the house with a wall of custom built-ins and a gas fireplace, and living spaces that extend naturally to expansive outdoor rooms. Set on just over an acre, 39 Windover Drive balances formal entertaining and comfortable family life across three well-appointed levels.

The main level centers on a chef-caliber kitchen outfitted with a Wolf cooktop, KitchenAid double wall ovens, Bosch dishwasher, a commanding center island, and two walk-in pantries — appliances and storage designed for serious cooks and frequent guests. Adjoining the kitchen are a formal dining room and a private office, while a main-level guest suite provides true one-floor living when needed.

Upstairs the primary suite reads like a private retreat: a cozy sitting area, its own fireplace, a four-seasons room currently configured as an exercise space, and a spa-inspired bathroom with jetted tub, tiled shower, and an oversized walk-in closet. Additional bedrooms offer both ensuite and shared-bath arrangements to accommodate family and visitors without compromise.

The finished lower level expands the home’s entertainment footprint with a private theater, a game room with wet bar, an extra bedroom/bonus room and full bath — all with direct access to the fenced backyard. Outside, a large back deck, a brick patio anchored by an outdoor fireplace, raised garden beds, a storage shed and mature landscaping create multiple settings for grilling, gardening, and evening gatherings.

Practical comforts include a three-car attached garage, propane heating, central AC, finished basement, and architectural shingle roof. Located within an upscale, private community minutes from Blue Ridge Parkway, Whole Foods, and Biltmore Park Town Square, this residence is a rare combination of scale, finishes, and outdoor living in South Asheville. Buyers should verify major systems, septic maintenance history, and HOA requirements as part of standard due diligence.

Editorial market perspective

Poplar Ridge sits within a strong segment of the Asheville luxury market where limited inventory and steady buyer demand keep momentum in favor of sellers. Local market indicators show roughly 2.5 months of inventory and an average days-on-market near 45 for comparable upscale single-family homes — metrics that historically create a seller advantage. Area median sale price for the corridor sits around $850,000, but comparable closed sales in Poplar Ridge and immediate surroundings for premium homes range from about $1.2M to $1.73M, reflecting the neighborhood’s premium positioning. Year-over-year appreciation has been positive (approximately +5% in the last 12 months) with a longer-term five-year appreciation of ~25%, signaling durable interest in gated, high-amenity properties. For buyers, limited supply means well-prepared offers and timely inspections are important; for sellers, the current backdrop supports confidence in pricing and market exposure. Luxury single-family homes here also show attractive rental upside — modeled monthly rent estimates around $6,300 suggest strong short-term income potential for investors pursuing premium vacation or corporate rentals, though HOA rules and septic/sewer constraints should be reviewed before rental use.
