Property Description
Commanding an elevated vantage point, this White Oak Mountain retreat captures spectacular long-range views and is surrounded by pristine natural beauty. Constructed of 12" solid timber beams, each detail is designed with intention. A true destination property - this home is offered fully furnished for a seamless, turn-key luxury experience. Designed for refined year-round residence or an exclusive getaway, living and entertaining here are a joy. The rocking chair front porch and expansive foyer create a memorable arrival, opening to dramatic living spaces designed for both entertaining and an intimate haven. Inside, rich materials and curated finishes tell the story of heritage and quality. Historic 200-year-old heart pine floors and hand-painted brick flooring—imported from Italy—add warmth and character. The great room impresses with grand scale, soaring cathedral wood-beam ceilings, magnificent long-range views, and a striking stone gas fireplace. The spacious dining and fully equipped eat-in kitchen are both inviting and functional, featuring a large center island, and a stone gas fireplace that enhances the heart of the home. The main-level primary suite is made for cozy evenings with a third stone gas fireplace, an elegant iron clawfoot tub (with a view!), beautifully renovated shower, and new granite on dual vanities. A powder room and walk-in laundry/pantry complete the main floor. The upper level offers a charming loft ideal for quiet reading or unwinding, along with two private guest suites, each featuring its own ensuite bath. The lower level enhances the home’s versatility with a spacious recreation room—perfect for enjoying movies or a game of billiards while relaxing with a drink at the bar, creating a cozy pub-like atmosphere. This level also includes a study or art studio, an additional guest bedroom, and a full bath, all positioned to take advantage of the beautiful views. Unfinished areas provide added functionality, including a utility room with a second washer/dryer, freezer, and refrigerator, a well-equipped tool room, and two ample storage spaces. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with the welcoming rocking chair front porch, full-length rear deck ideal for entertaining or stargazing, and a thoughtfully designed lower-level patio. Enjoy expansive green space, a charming gazebo, and serene natural surroundings. Additional features include a whole-house generator, metal roof, Andersen aluminum-clad hurricane-rated windows, updated rear doors, and a water filtration system. This offering includes nearly all furnishings, antiques, fine art, collectibles, and even everyday essentials—cookware, dishes, linens—allowing you to simply arrive with your personal belongings and immediately feel at home. A welcoming community with walking trails and stocked neighborhood ponds. A rare opportunity to own a fully realized mountain retreat where luxury, history, and nature come together in perfect harmony. Adjacent lot is also available for purchase: 1.56 acres, parcel #P58 85 Lot #45 Blk A.
