33 Robinson Creek Road A LEED Silver-certified architectural retreat - net-zero in spirit, extraordinary in detail, set on 2.77 forested acres with creek frontage, only minutes from downtown Asheville. Twice featured in Carolina Home+Garden Parade of Homes winner for innovation and craftsmanship The companion book, DEVOTION: Diary of an Appalachian Garden, sold out its print run following a 2022 speaking tour of bookstores, arboreta, and garden clubs across the Southeast. Some homes impress - and then some homes sustain. 33 Robinson Creek Road does both: a one-level, single-story residence conceived from the ground up with intention, built by Blue Ridge Energy Systems to LEED Silver certification, and surrounded by a professionally designed native woodland and formal garden that took seven years to realize and is documented in the published book DEVOTION: Diary of an Appalachian Garden. The buyer will receive a copy of this book, all the garden design documentation, and a weekly blog written while the house was being designed and constructed. Set on 2.77 private, wooded acres in the Greenwood community of south Asheville - with creek frontage and an elevation of 2, 500 feet - the property offers rare seclusion without sacrifice. Organic grocers, fine dining, urgent care, and Asheville's cultural corridor are all within minutes. Monthly energy costs here are a fraction of comparable homes - the result of geothermal heating and cooling, active and passive solar generation, three energy-storing Tesla batteries (Powerwalls), triple-paned windows and advanced climate-responsive insulation working together silently. Inside, the 2, 400 square foot layout flows across a single level - no stairs, no compromise, even a wheelchair accessible shower. A heat recovery ventilator (HRV), an air filtration system keep the interior atmosphere as clean as the mountain air outside. Concrete floors, a custom designed top-loading woodstove, and induction cooktop anchor spaces designed for both quiet daily living and considered entertaining. The grounds are the property's second chapter. Landscape designer Nancy Duffy of Muddy Boots Garden Design oversaw a multi-year installation of formal gardens and extensive woodland plantings - a living ecosystem that has become the subject of a published, professionally designed book. The garden does not require a green thumb to maintain; it was built to thrive. This is a property for a buyer who understands that true sustainability and genuine beauty are not in opposition - and one who wants a private Asheville sanctuary that has already been recognized, published, and celebrated.
