INTRODUCTION
I am excited to share this incredible, once in a lifetime STR opportunity with you. 20 very unique units plus an event/wedding pavilion - all with incredible views just minutes from downtown Asheville, this investment opportunity is one of a kind.
There are a handful of value adds to this property available for the buyer, along with potential tax benefits.
In addition to this, the owners want to sell the 4.65 acres adjoining these, which can be purchased at an additional cost. A quick value add would be to create a lighted walkway with the best photo op.
It’s also a great space to potentially create large amenities/attractions: like a pool, gym, pickleball courts, putting green, other outdoor games etc.
The owners have built up an incredible social media following and community. Buyers would be given all digital assets (social medias, website, etc) along with the trademarks (logo and name).

HISTORY OF THE PROPERTY
The current owners have lived on this mountain for 35+ years. The property sits atop some of the best views, in a gated community, surrounded by multi-million dollar, luxury properties.
There’s currently a management company in place should the buyers desire a turnkey investment.
After years of successful operation, our clients are ready to retire and pursue their next chapter They’re offering a rare opportunity to acquire a well-performing short-term rental portfolio with a proven track record—ready for new ownership.
GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES
Earth and Sky’s location, one-of-a-kind units, year-round views and on-site venue amenities make it world class. The current owners have thousands of 5-star reviews, have gone viral on social media, and have been featured on the HGTV series Treehouse Masters
Moving forward, there are three strategies that the buyers could implement in order to increase revenue while reducing dependency on popular Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) like Airbnb™ In addition to these, buyers could purchase the additional 4 65 acres next to the treehouses - a great opportunity for a value-add (a lighted walkway for a photo op with the views, a pool/recreation area, etc.
REVITALIZE SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING
Increase social media following by partnering with travel influencers and digital content creators Implement a reward system to give an incentive to stay at all the different properties on site
Combine this with a brand new, more attractive, direct booking website, projections show a 22%+ increase in average daily rates by the end of the first year of operation
OPTIMIZE OPERATIONS
Current owners use flat rate pricing on Airbnb to drive bookings. By introducing a cross-platform, dynamic, seasonally adjusted, demand-based pricing model and leveraging additional Online Travel Agencies like VRBO™, Expedia™, and Booking.com™ we’re projecting to 2.5X annual top line revenue by EOY 2025.
INTRODUCE WEDDINGS + EVENTS
By optimizing the property for destination weddings, events, and luxury corporate retreats, there’s a projected $557k to add to the top line annual revenue by EOY 2025
We have connected with a local hospitality and event management group to ensure the buyers purchase a fully turnkey property
The Wedding/Event Pavilion and 6unit Cottage Community plus the Couples Castle on the property will help new management break into the $99.4M Asheville wedding industry. Construction has just been completed and events are already taking place.
Projecting $557k of annual top-line revenue by EOY 2026 from weddings and elopements alone (not including wedding guest stays, corporate events etc) Despite inflation, demand for weddings in Asheville still remains at an all-time high.
This property has the potential to be one of the top mountain destination wedding venues in the nation
