About This Home
FIRST TIME ON THE MARKET! This extraordinary custom-built mountain retreat showcases impressive 14-inch lodgepole pine construction, soaring cathedral ceilings, expansive interior log accents, and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows that perfectly frame breathtaking long-range mountain vistas! Privately situated on more than two south-facing acres, the home is bathed in natural light and offers unparalleled panoramic views with unforgettable sunsets enjoyed year-round. The open-concept main level is designed for both comfortable living and effortless entertaining, featuring a chef's kitchen, spacious dining room, spectacular two-story great room anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone-stacked fireplace, powder room, laundry room, and an elegant primary suite complete with a walk-in closet and spa-inspired bath boasting a Jacuzzi tub, walk-in shower, and radiant heated floors. Perched above the great room, a loft-style office overlooks the living space and adjoins a second primary suite featuring an ensuite bath and walk-in closet. The opposite wing of the upper level offers two additional bedrooms, two full baths, a sitting area, and generous storage space, providing privacy and comfort for family and guests. The welcoming lower level is truly an entertainer's dream, featuring a spacious recreation room with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, pool table, custom bar adorned with live-edge countertops, full bath, media room, exercise room with half bath, and a relaxing sauna. French doors open to a private covered patio, tranquil pond with fountain and a cozy outdoor fire pit. Outdoor living is equally impressive. The expansive wraparound deck captures endless mountain views and provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining, evening cocktails, and nightly stargazing. Additional highlights include a covered front entry, an octagonal gazebo housing a hot tub, and a custom spiral staircase with artisan-crafted railing. A TRUE HAVEN OF SERENITY, this remarkable property is located just moments from the new Hatley Pointe ski lifts and the Wolf Laurel clubhouse, while remaining only ten minutes from I-26 and approximately fifteen minutes from grocery shopping. Ideally situated, enjoy scenic four-lane drives of approximately 35 minutes to either Asheville, North Carolina, or Johnson City, Tennessee, offering the perfect balance of mountain seclusion and everyday convenience.
