Tucked within the extraordinary setting of Balsam Mountain Preserve, this exceptional residence offers a refined expression of mountain living—where thoughtful architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, natural materials, and an unmistakable sense of place come together beautifully. From the moment you arrive, the home envelops you in a sense of tranquil serenity. Exceptional craftsmanship is evident throughout, with warm natural materials and beautifully executed architectural details creating an atmosphere that is timeless, sophisticated, and inviting. At the heart of the home, generous living spaces flow naturally together, creating an effortless setting for quiet mornings, leisurely afternoons, and evenings filled with conversation and laughter. A striking stone fireplace anchors the main living space, while the keeping room is infinitely inviting when the wood-burning stove is lit. The kitchen and dining areas bring everyone together to enjoy the people who matter most. The primary suite is a retreat unto itself, offering a wonderful sense of privacy. Its attached treehouse-like sunroom acts as a peaceful hideaway for morning coffee, reading, or simply taking a moment to yourself. A separate guest suite, connected to the main residence by an enclosed breezeway, provides an equally thoughtful sense of independence while keeping family and friends wonderfully close. Two generous decks extend the living experience outdoors, one off the main living spaces and another from the lower level. The upper deck features its own stone fireplace, while the lower flagstone deck offers both covered living space and an open terrace—inviting settings for gathering, dining, and lingering long after the sun has gone down. Beyond the main living spaces, the home reveals another unexpected luxury: a dedicated workshop that is truly a dream for anyone who loves to create. Whether imagined as a craftsman's studio, an artist's retreat, or simply a place for projects and passions to take shape, it is a rare and remarkable feature, complete with its own single-car garage. The main level also offers an oversized two-car garage, while abundant storage throughout provides ample room for mountain gear, outdoor equipment, collections, and everything that comes with living well in the mountains. Uniquely positioned near the many amenities of Balsam Mountain Preserve, the home offers an extraordinary private mountain setting where life unfolds at a more intentional pace—on the trails, the golf course, around the table with family, and gathered together at home. This is a home made for a life well lived. For weekends that become traditions, holidays that bring everyone together, projects that become passions, and the kind of moments that become part of your family's story. A truly special place to call home.

4 Beds ⋅ 7 Baths ⋅ 4393548 MLS

Enter into a home unlike any other in Western North Carolina, where reclaimed history and forward-thinking design come together on a private two-acre homestead at 4,320 feet. Wrapped on every side by conservation land, with western views that stretch toward the horizon and shift with the light all day long, this is a home that feels less built than discovered, as if from the mountain itself. At the heart of the home is its reclaimed sinker cypress, found throughout the structural timbers and beyond. Recovered from river bottoms by the legendary "swamp men," whose work has been featured on the History Channel, this cypress spent more than a century submerged in water before being rediscovered. That century underwater transformed the wood, giving it a density, color, durability and richness that simply cannot be replicated and a story that few homes can tell. Douglas fir, heart pine and cypress carry that craftsmanship to the siding, soffits, fascia, trim, doors, floors and porches, while reclaimed white oak cabinetry and high-end Marvin window sash frames continue it inside. Locally sourced mica, feldspar and quartz form the rock walls, sidewalks and exterior stone features that root the home firmly in its mountain setting. This is also one of the most thoughtfully engineered homes you will find anywhere in the region. LEED Gold Certified and Energy Star Qualified, it runs on a sophisticated geothermal and solar thermal system providing radiant floor heat and domestic hot water, supported by a south-facing solar PV and hot water collector grid with an inverter. An ERV fresh air system keeps indoor air exceptionally clean, rainwater harvesting sustains the landscaping and an EcoShake roof of recycled wood shake shingles reinforced with vinyl and cellulose fiber tops it all off. Should the grid ever go down, a whole-home Generac generator, bedroom LP heatilators, a floor-to-ceiling wood burning fireplace, a pellet stove and a manual wellhead pump ensure the home keeps running without interruption. Four ensuite bedrooms, a private office, an exercise room, a cedar sauna, a wine cellar, an elevator and a dog shower round out a layout built for comfort and everyday life, while thoughtful accessibility features, including an ingress and egress ramp, elevator access to all floors and a curbless shower, make this home as livable as it is beautiful. Upstairs, the guest suites open onto Juliet balconies, framing the views from the moment you wake. Go outside and the experience continues. A screened porch with a built-in grill, a screened deck, an outdoor shower, an outdoor fireplace and a stone and brick paver veranda overlook a rare flat, fenced backyard and a sprawling terrace level made for gathering. A fully functional professional greenhouse rounds out the grounds, ready for whatever you choose to grow. Above the garage, a newly renovated ensuite guest suite offers a private retreat for visitors, while the terrace level features a beautifully appointed second kitchen, newly completed by Clark and Leatherwood, opening the door to true multigenerational living. All of this sits within Balsam Mountain Preserve, one of Western North Carolina's most acclaimed mountain communities. Thousands of acres of protected forestland, miles of hiking trails, an Arnold Palmer Signature golf course, an equestrian center, a wellness center and a clubhouse with fine dining and panoramic views await just beyond your door, alongside a vibrant calendar of community life built around conservation and connection. This is a home that must be experienced in person to be fully understood and once you do, it is impossible to forget.
