Property Description
Teneriffe stands as one of the most extraordinary properties ever offered in Hendersonville—an estate where history, architecture, and opportunity converge in a rare and remarkable way. Tucked behind a leaf-canopied drive, the approach reveals the stately Tudor Revival residence, originally constructed in 1855 and later transformed in 1903 under the vision of Richard Sharp Smith, the supervising architect of the Biltmore Estate. With landscape design consulted by Frederick Law Olmsted, the grounds were thoughtfully shaped to complement the home’s architectural splendor, creating a property steeped in provenance and timeless beauty.
The estate unfolds across rolling acreage, where pastures, walking trails, gardens, and multiple water features weave together to form an enchanting natural setting. A historic barn nods to the property’s agrarian heritage, while a log cabin recalls simpler times, offering endless possibilities for restoration or reinvention. Teneriffe’s history as an active bed-and-breakfast adds another dimension—whether reimagined once more as a distinguished hospitality venture, or preserved as a legacy private residence, the opportunities are as expansive as the land itself.
The main residence is a showcase of both grandeur and intimacy. A sweeping wrap-around veranda welcomes you into a grand foyer, where light, scale, and craftsmanship set the tone. Gracious formal rooms on the main level invite both entertaining and quiet reflection, with period details carefully preserved to honor the home’s heritage.
The primary wing is a private sanctuary—an inspired balance of luxury and function—complete with an executive home office, a spa, and the promise of true seclusion. Two additional levels provide generous accommodations with multiple bedrooms and living spaces, offering flexibility for family, guests, or creative repurposing. Each room reflects a chapter of the home’s storied past, yet stands ready to be reimagined for the future.
Teneriffe is more than a property; it is a legacy. Rarely does such a distinguished estate, with architectural pedigree, historical significance, and versatile residential and commercial potential, come to market. For those who value heritage and envision the future, Teneriffe offers an unparalleled opportunity to steward a landmark property and to create a new chapter in its remarkable story.
