Some mountain homes have a view. This one was designed around it. Set on 9.95+/-acres with breathtaking panoramic views toward Wayah Bald and across the mountains of Western North Carolina, this custom-built 3BR/3.5BA + Bonus Room home has been enjoyed as a private mountain getaway by its original owner since it was completed in 2006. Offered completely furnished, it's ready for its next chapter-and its next sunset. Just over 3,000 finished square feet span three thoughtfully designed levels, each taking advantage of the remarkable setting. On the main level, vaulted ceilings and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stacked-stone wood-burning fireplace anchor the spacious great room, while a wall of windows draws your attention straight to the mountains beyond. The adjoining dining area opens to expansive decking, and the custom kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless appliances, generous workspace and a large walk-in pantry. The main-level primary suite enjoys its own beautiful view from a bay window, along with a spacious custom bath featuring a large tile shower, jetted tub, dual granite vanity, walk-in closet and separate commode room. A large laundry room with cabinetry and utility sink plus a powder room complete the main floor. Upstairs, the large loft overlooks the great room and captures spectacular views through the soaring wall of windows. Two generously sized bedrooms share a full bath with custom tile shower, and each opens to its own private balcony-a wonderful place to begin or end a mountain day. The lower level creates a private guest retreat with a fourth sleeping area, full bath, living/sitting room, stacked-stone gas fireplace and doors opening to the lower deck, where the view once again takes center stage. Outside, expansive decking with hog-wire railings and a covered deck area provide plenty of room to enjoy the mountain panorama. Mature landscaping, a gazebo, gated entrance, circular upper drive and two-car garage with workshop space add both character and function. Underground power, HVAC serving each level and a standby generator with owned propane tank provide added comfort and convenience. The property consists of four lots plus a small well lot within a gated community with only a handful of property owners. The seller intentionally acquired the additional lots to preserve privacy and protect the surrounding view. Three additional lots have graded driveways and prepared house pads, with shared-well water already piped to the driveways, offering future possibilities while preserving the peaceful setting enjoyed today. There's even a community picnic area at the top. Completely furnished, beautifully maintained and surrounded by nearly 10 acres assembled with privacy in mind, this is more than a vacation home. It's a place designed to leave the rest of the world behind for a while-and one extraordinary view you'll never tire of coming back to.
