About This Home

Mountain Adventurer’s Dream Meets Cozy Modern Retreat! Completed in 2023, this mountain retreat blends modern design with a setting made for outdoor enthusiasts. Located just one mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway, the property is steps to the Linville Gorge Wilderness Area, renowned for its exceptional hiking, while mountain bike trails, trout fishing and rafting opportunities are conveniently nearby. The main floor features an open-concept layout with a modern kitchen, a utility room, and a full bathroom, along with ample space for both a comfortable living area and sleeping quarters. Clean lines, thoughtful finishes, and efficient design create a warm, inviting interior that feels both functional and relaxing. Upstairs, a loft accessed by steps provides space for two queen-sized beds or one king, and includes a pre-planned area for a second bathroom, allowing for easy future installation. Plumbing is roughed in and extra flooring stored inside wall matches existing loft flooring. The exterior is designed for durability and adventure, featuring Hardie board siding with board-and-batten detailing, a propane-powered 10kw backup generator, and multiple outdoor living areas. A covered porch and open deck incorporate mature trees directly into the structure, offering a truly immersive mountain experience. A climbing wall along the porch and a standalone treehouse designed for climbing or rappelling add rare and exciting character to the property. Practical amenities support both everyday living and future expansion, including: Enclosed storage beneath the home, large enough for a tractor, ATV, and workshop; 4-bedroom septic system and a second electrical panel, already in place for future growth; Three RV power hookups, including one full hookup to septic; Small fenced dog lot; Private gated access, shared with just one full-time neighbor and several part-time residents. Thoughtfully designed and exceptionally located, this property offers a rare combination of privacy, modern comfort, and direct access to some of the region’s best outdoor recreation—a true mountain retreat built to grow with your lifestyle. No drive-bys, please. Property is located at the end of a private gravel road behind a locked gate. Ask your agent for copy of pre-listing home inspection.
