Perched above a rolling valleys with layer after layer of long-range mountain views and vistas, this nearly new home—completed at the end of 2024—was designed to take full advantage of its setting.

Step outside again and you’ll find just as much intention in the land as in the home itself. Carefully designed landscaping creates a peaceful, park-like setting, complete with a seasonal creek and a custom rock bridge that adds just the right touch of character. It’s quiet here. Private. The kind of place where you can actually hear the breeze move through the trees. Practical features haven’t been overlooked either, with a whole-house generator, tankless water heater, generous parking, and a large storage space tucked beneath the garage accessible from the downstairs living area—perfect for all the extras that come with mountain living. And while it feels like a world away, you’re still just minutes from it all—less than a mile to the Blue Ridge Parkway and a short drive to Little Switzerland, with easy access to hiking trails, waterfalls, and some of the most scenic spots Western North Carolina has to offer. This isn’t just a home—it’s a place to reset, recharge, and reconnect. Whether you’re looking for a private mountain escape, a full-time residence, or an income-producing retreat, this one offers something special… and once you’re here, you’ll understand why.
