A Private Estate, Reserved for the Rare.

Welcome to Caya Azul — your private mountain escape tucked into the quiet beauty of Candler, North Carolina. Spread across seventeen rolling acres that border protected forestland, the estate offers panoramic views of Pisgah National Forest and direct access to scenic trails that wind through whispering trees.

Here, time slows down. Celebrations unfold against a backdrop of shimmering ponds, open skies, and forested paths.

At the heart of the property stands a restored farmhouse — where rustic charm meets modern ease. Inside, five beautifully designed bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite and a cozy bunkroom for six, comfortably host up to fourteen overnight guests.

The kitchen was made for gathering — fully equipped for intimate dinners or grand feasts, with French doors that open onto the deck for al fresco dining and cocktail hours beneath the stars.

Designed with connection in mind, Caya Azul can host up to fifty guests across its indoor and outdoor spaces. The covered pavilion by the pond sets the stage for romantic ceremonies or breezy receptions, while the porches and forest-lined trails invite quiet reflection and unposed moments that linger long after the weekend ends.
