About this home
Welcome to 1136 Elk Shoals Creek Rd, a custom-built luxury mountain retreat completed in 2022 and set on 2.25 beautifully landscaped acres. A gated entrance, mountain views, and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces create a setting that feels both private and welcoming. Inside, the home features soaring 24-foot cathedral ceilings in the living room, 10-foot ceilings throughout, and impressive 9-foot doors in every bedroom and bathroom. Engineered hardwood floors, leathered kitchen countertops, and striking A-frame windows create a beautiful blend of warmth and sophistication, while abundant natural light and sliding glass doors surrounding the living area bring the outdoors in. The partially covered wraparound porch features low-maintenance composite decking and offers plenty of room to enjoy the mountain setting. Upstairs, the primary suite is a private retreat with frosted-glass doors overlooking the living area, expansive windows, a spacious walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired ensuite with custom tile work. The lower level adds a bedroom, full bathroom, and dedicated office, with sliding glass doors from both rooms opening to a covered patio. This space has also been popular as a short-term rental, offering flexibility for guests or potential income. The property offers even more beyond the main home, including a separate 384-square-foot living space with a bedroom, full bathroom, sauna, and porch overlooking a small stream. Previously used as a short-term rental, this space offers additional possibilities for guests or income. The landscaped grounds also feature a newly installed fish pond, stone retaining wall built with rocks found on the property, designated camping area with RV hookup, and covered picnic area. Additional features include a spacious garage/workshop with electricity and an electric vehicle charger, as well as a chicken coop. Whether you're looking for a full-time mountain home, private getaway, or property with flexible living and potential rental opportunities, this unique retreat offers room to relax, gather, and enjoy the best of mountain living!
