2488 Catawba Falls Pkwy, Black Mountain, NC, 28711
About This Home
Perched on a commanding ridgeline in the gated Catawba Falls Preserve community, this exceptional 2022-modern mountain home delivers panoramic and long-range views from virtually every room — sunrise from the east, sunset from the west, layered Blue Ridge peaks visible from the kitchen, living room, bedrooms, back porch, and lower-level patio hot tub alike. The main and upper level offers nearly 5,000 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space: an open-concept great room with soaring vaulted ceilings, a dramatic wall of windows framing the mountain vistas, a large kitchen island, gas fireplace and custom built-ins with plenty of storage. Five bedrooms and 4.5 baths include a spectacular primary suite with separate dual vanity areas, deep soaker tub, oversized walk-in shower, and a huge walk-in closet with custom built-in shelving. The home is furnished with high-end Arhaus pieces available to purchase separately. The upper level features a bar and billiards room with widows for mountain vistas as art. Outdoor living here is effortless and stunning. The expansive back deck offers multiple seating areas and room to grill, all facing long-range mountain views that stretch ridge after ridge into the distance. Steps away, the lower patio delivers a view and a retreat — a private hot tub, a stone fire pit, and professionally landscaped stone pathways that make the grounds feel as considered as the interior An additional 3,000+ sq ft of unfinished space on the lower level — roughed in and ready — provides exceptional potential for two additional bedrooms, a home theater, gym, or expanded entertainment suite. Additional highlights: whole-house generator, 2-car garage with epoxy-coated floors, EV charger, and built-in storage. Paved roads throughout the well-maintained, gated community. Approximately 2,500 ft elevation — a little higher than the town of Black Mountain — delivering cooler summers and stunning seasonal color. Currently operated as a successful short-term rental (~50% of the year) and second residence. STR-permitted community. Only 20 minutes to Black Mountain.
