There are mountain homes... and then there are mountain experiences! Perched high above the valley floor on 5.59 secluded acres and bordering Pisgah National Forest, this stunning retreat captures the kind of long range Blue Ridge Mountain views that people spend years searching for and rarely find. With protected forestland as your neighbor and breathtaking mountain vistas stretching to the horizon, you'll enjoy a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and an unparalleled connection to the outdoors. From sunrise over the ridgelines to evenings gathered around the fire table beneath a canopy of stars, every inch of this property was designed to showcase the view. The main level welcomes you with soaring ceilings, a wall of windows, rich wood finishes, and an open-concept living area anchored by a stone fireplace. The mountains become part of the décor, filling the home with a constantly changing backdrop that can be enjoyed from nearly every gathering space. Comfort is enhanced year round by a highly efficient 4-zone heat pump system, allowing customized climate control throughout the home. Step outside to expansive covered and open air decking (approx 1800 sq ft) where you'll find multiple areas for dining, entertaining, relaxing, and taking in the breathtaking scenery. Whether you're soaking in the hot tub, sharing a bottle of wine by the fire pit, or enjoying coffee on the porch, the view is always center stage. Offering 5 functioning bedrooms, 3 full baths, and three levels of living space, the home comfortably accommodates family and guests. (Septic permit is for 4 bedrooms.) The lower level recreation room creates the perfect gathering spot for game nights and mountain getaways, while the upper level primary suite offers a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. Lower level is also plumbed for another kitchen for added expansion opportunities! For investors and second home buyers alike, the property also boasts an impressive vacation rental history, making it an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the mountain lifestyle while generating income. Offered fully furnished, this is a rare turnkey opportunity. Simply arrive, unpack, and start enjoying the views. Adding even more value, an additional lot conveys with the property and already has electric service and a transformer in place, providing a rare opportunity for a future guest house, second residence, or expanded family compound. With 5.59 acres, direct adjacency to Pisgah National Forest, expansive outdoor living spaces and views that simply cannot be replicated, this is more than a mountain home... it's a MOUNTAIN DESTINATION. The home is exceptional. The setting is unforgettable. The view is why you'll never want to leave.
