Jones Cove Farmhouse

Designed by Altura Architects, the award-winning Jones Cove Farmhouse blends modern design with rustic charm, creating the ultimate gathering space for family and friends. Set on a sprawling mountain farm in Buncombe County, the home's layout is inspired by historic farm properties, featuring multiple connected structures linked by glass corridors and breezeways. This thoughtful design preserves the landscape's natural beauty while providing distinct zones for both private and social living.

The main living space features a two-story window wall overlooking a garden courtyard, flooding the interior with natural light and framing mountain views. The oak-paneled "Barlor" offers a cozy contrast to the larger gathering areas, with corner windows providing a warm glow and a view of the entry, play lawn, and pool. Suspended light fixtures act as functional art, enhancing the ambiance throughout the home.

Outdoor living is just as carefully planned. A sunset-facing screened porch, a bocce lawn, and a basketball court create versatile gathering spaces, while the pool pavilion at the forest's edge includes a communal farm table, an outdoor kitchen, and a stone fireplace. Thoughtful landscaping by Drake Fowler adds privacy and a natural flow between the spaces.
