Jon Tharp Homes w/ Keller Williams Search Results

Where to begin describing this truly remarkable property...the expansive home? The property itself? Or the art studio? Each piece is unique and thoughtful in design and purpose, holding its own when considered individually. Together, however, they create a perfect escape from chaos and clutter, clearing the mind and allowing the joy of thoughtful creative living to return. Let's begin with the house: This large two-story contemporary home was custom-designed and built to capture the magnificent mountain views. The large wraparound porch begs for evening sitting until the fireflies come out in full display. The large foyer welcomes those who enter the main floor, which features a lovely living room with a gas fireplace. The kitchen, however, is the real showstopper on this floor. Designed for a full house, it's a chef's dream with a Bosch electric wall oven, Thermador 36" gas cooktop and matching Thermador exhaust fan, warming oven and wine fridge. You will love the built-in trash compactor, but the built-in coffee maker is the piece de resistance. The black granite countertop contrasts perfectly with the color in the gorgeous custom cherry cabinetry. The long, beautiful breakfast bar island has lots of room for everyone to gather and chat while awaiting dinner. The dining room is just steps away when the meal is finally complete. After a glass of wine on the porch after sunset, it's time to retire to one of the four large bedrooms: a primary ensuite on the main floor and 3 more upstairs. All the bedrooms have large closets. Two bedrooms share a very large Jack and Jill bathroom, and the 4th has a private bath. For those that aren't quite ready to retire, the second story also features a media room, library, and game room. No one will get bored in this home. The primary ensuite features a large walk-in closet, a private bath with a soaking tub and a large walk-in shower, convenient access to the laundry room, and a walk-out to the back deck where a hot tub awaits. A mud room connects the home and the two-car garage. The house is surrounded by wooded acreage, featuring a sweeping front lawn, amazing year-round mountain views and complete utter privacy with so much peace and quiet you can't help but fall in love with it. Spring Creek with its waterfalls and pools, is a short walk away and borders the property. Fido will absolutely love it. Also on the property is another home site with water and a separate septic system. It currently has an old uninhabited mobile home just waiting for someone's creative thoughts to put it to good use. Then there's the large glass studio. Outfitted with everything needed for glass blowing, this space is currently rented to an artisan. Make it your own studio or generate income with the current tenant. The studio has a 1,000-gallon buried propane tank, 200-amp service, a septic system, a bathroom, a kitchen area, an oUice, and a gallery.

36 Mitchell View Road, Bakersville

$895,000

Perched at 3,300 feet within the Glen Ayre community in the Valley of Roan Mountain, this reimagined estate captures the perfect harmony of modern living in the Appalachian Mountains. Thoughtfully redesigned through a comprehensive restoration completed in 2023, the residence presents as entirely new. Crafted for comfort and efficiency, the home offers three en-suite bedrooms, each complemented by expansive walk-in closets. Spa-inspired baths feature oversized tiled walk-in showers with both rainhead and handheld fixtures, while the primary suite elevates the experience further with in-suite laundry, a private water closet, and a luminous, nature-infused shower. Two of the suites are situated on the upper level alongside a powder room for guests. Two expansive living areas—on the upper and lower levels—are anchored by striking stone-clad, wood-burning fireplaces. Locally sourced hardwood floors run throughout, while a bespoke 150-pound cherry mantel introduces a bold yet sophisticated focal point. Each fireplace, along with the interior chimneys and roof stack, has been meticulously reconstructed and refaced with native stone. A substantial covered woodshed, fully stocked with split wood, is discreetly nestled within the surrounding canopy. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen is a true showpiece—featuring custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a designer tile backsplash, and an expansive island with prep sink. Premium GE Café appliances complete the space, that deliver both performance and style for everyday living or hosting with ease. Outdoor living is equally exceptional. A sprawling 1,000+ square foot composite front deck, framed by contemporary wire railing, provides uninterrupted views of the Roan Highlands and surrounding valley. The private 8+ acre parcel offers a blend of natural beauty and usability, complete with a spring-fed pond, nearly an acre of mature fruit trees, and ample space for future expansion—whether an additional residence or curated structures. A thoughtfully executed landscape redesign enhances the home’s clean, modern curb appeal. Behind the walls, the transformation is just as impressive. The home was taken down to the studs and rebuilt with all new systems and materials. Enhancements include closed-cell foam insulation on the lower level, advanced acoustic soundproofing between floors, and new fiberglass insulation throughout. All interior walls and ceilings have been replaced with industrial-grade drywall, complemented by locally sourced solid oak flooring, Sierra Pacific windows and sliding glass doors, and solid-core natural pine interior doors. Every major system has been entirely replaced, including electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, alongside a complete lighting redesign featuring modern LED fixtures. The oversized heated garage has been finished with new walls, trim, and doors—including a windowed garage door with a sleek, side-mounted opener. Residents enjoy the ease of HOA-maintained roads with modest annual dues of just $400. High-speed fiber optic internet, provided by the French Broad Electric Cooperative, ensures connectivity for work and leisure. Ideally positioned, the property offers convenient access to some of the region’s most treasured destinations—just 10 minutes to the Appalachian Trail and the Roan Bald, and within easy reach of Bakersville, Johnson City, Burnsville, and Spruce Pine. Whether envisioned as a full-time residence or a refined seasonal escape, this is Appalachian luxury at its finest.
