A Signature Home in the Judd Builders Story: 25 Jake Ridge Trail Is Now for Sale
Some homes hold a special place in a builder’s history. For Judd Builders, 25 Jake Ridge Trail in Fletcher, North Carolina, is one of them.
As the first home Judd Builders built in the Asheville area, this remarkable property represents an important chapter in our company’s story. Over the years, Judd Builders has continued to work with the owners, returning to the home to make updates and improvements while preserving the craftsmanship and character that have defined the property from the beginning.
Now, this distinctive home is being offered for sale, giving a new owner the opportunity to experience a property that is not only grand in scale, but also deeply connected to the history of Judd Builders in Western North Carolina.
A Home Built to Make an Impression
From its substantial stonework and exposed beams to its vaulted ceilings, dramatic fireplaces, and carefully selected finishes, 25 Jake Ridge Trail reflects the attention to detail that has long been central to the Judd Builders approach.
The home offers generous living spaces designed for gathering and entertaining, with a great room that serves as a natural focal point. A well-appointed kitchen features a 48-inch paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator and Wolf gas cooktop, while additional gathering areas, including a keeping room with its own fireplace, provide space to relax and spend time together.
Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a screened porch and deck that extend the home’s living space and offer opportunities to enjoy the surrounding mountain landscape.
Throughout the property, the combination of substantial materials, thoughtful design, and carefully executed finishes speaks to the level of craftsmanship that distinguishes a custom-built home.
Thoughtful Details Throughout
The home’s features extend well beyond its impressive scale. Architectural elements and custom finishes give each space its own character, while practical considerations make the home well suited to a variety of living arrangements.
The primary suite includes a spa-inspired bathroom with a barrel ceiling, jetted tub, heated towel warmer, and an expansive walk-through double shower with body sprayers. A custom closet adds another layer of thoughtful design.
The property also includes a separate apartment on the upper level, offering flexibility for extended family, guests, or other living needs. Combined with the home’s multiple gathering spaces, this additional living area creates options for a range of lifestyles.
These details reflect an important principle behind custom homebuilding: a home should do more than make a strong first impression. It should also serve the people who live in it, with features and spaces that continue to prove their value over time.
