All four bedrooms have private en-suite bathrooms, providing excellent separation and privacy for family and guests. The views from this home are truly spectacular, encompassing more than a dozen named peaks across a broad, directly westerly panorama. The view extends from nearby High Rock, approximately four miles away, to distant Tennessee peaks nearly 70 miles away, including Rocky Mountain. Mount Guyot, a prominent 6,624-foot peak in the Great Smoky Mountains located more than 50 miles away, is also directly visible from the home. The west-facing deck and primary living areas provide an exceptional vantage point for layered mountain scenery and dramatic sunsets. The property includes four lots, with three contiguous lots positioned below grade from the home and its western view corridor. These additional lots provide expanded privacy and meaningful long-term control over the setting and views—a feature that is increasingly difficult to duplicate in the mountains. Located directly on paved McKinney Gap Road with a paved driveway, the property offers convenient access within the gated Wolf Laurel community. The grounds reflect deferred maintenance and present an opportunity for a new owner to restore and enhance the home’s outdoor spaces. A recent pre-listing home inspection has been completed, providing additional transparency for qualified interested buyers. The home conveys mostly furnished and equipped for turnkey use, subject to a limited exceptions list. Wolf Laurel provides convenient access to the Appalachian Trail at Big Bald. Optional memberships are available for the private, member-owned Wolf Laurel Country Club and the POA-operated Village Club amenities. Area offerings include golf, dining, tennis, pickleball, swimming, fitness facilities, biking, and community gathering areas. Nearby Hatley Pointe Mountain Resort offers skiing and dining at Smoke & Timber, with an adventure bike park expected to further expand its year-round recreational offerings in the near term. Club memberships may be available for separate purchase and are not included with the real estate closing. This is a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind mountain home combining authentic antique logs, cathedral ceilings, four private bedroom suites, paved access, dramatic western views, more than a dozen visible named peaks, and an exceptional level of future view protection.

Well hello there! Looks like you're thinking about building a place in the mountains and Wolf Laurel has caught your eye. If thats the case this lot may interest you and give you a head start! The land has been cleared of underbrush in front, a driveway in place, a graded homesite, and a valid 3-bedroom septic permit. That means a lot of the hard work has already been taken care of, so you can spend more time thinking your home design! What I really like about Wolf Laurel is that it doesn't feel like just another subdivision. It's a gated mountain community sitting at roughly 4,000 feet in elevation, so the summers stay cooler, the fall colors are incredible, and you're surrounded by the kind of mountain scenery people travel to see. If you're someone who enjoys the outdoors, you're in a great spot with hiking trails, easy access to the Appalachian Trail, optional golf and country club memberships, tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness center, and you're just minutes from Hatley Pointe Ski Resort (formally Wolf Ridge Ski Resort) when winter rolls around. It's one of those places where every season has something to offer.
