One great shot is worth 1,000 official greetings. If this superbly situated home looks familiar, it’s because the indelible image of mountain majesty was picked as a “you are here” marker for visitors: the photo of the fire pit with surrounding blue peaks greets thousands of arriving passengers at the Asheville Airport.
Sited slightly below the covered porch to take advantage of the beyond-beautiful mountain panorama, the gathering place is circled by sunken wraparound seating crafted from native Tennessee fieldstone. The natural edges of this high-rustic “sofa” create the look of an ancient amphitheater.
