Members of this exclusive community enjoy an unparalleled lifestyle centered around a world-class wellness center, Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, and the social elegance of the award-winning clubhouse and "The Tavern." The architectural narrative of the home begins with a striking exterior of natural stone and timber, leading into an expansive interior of meticulously crafted living space. The main level is anchored by a breathtaking great room where floor-to-ceiling windows frame long-range mountain vistas, seamlessly connecting the indoors to a sprawling screened porch and an open-air deck equipped with a majestic stone fireplace. At the heart of the home, a gourmet kitchen features a massive island, custom cabinetry, and professional-grade appliances, flowing effortlessly into a sun-drenched dining area. The primary wing on the main floor serves as a private retreat, boasting a vaulted owner’s suite and a spa-like bath with a freestanding soaking tub and a massive glass-enclosed rain shower. The terrace level is a tour de force of entertainment, thoughtfully designed for grand-scale social gatherings.

Thoughtful design continues throughout the residence with high-end finishes including wide-plank oak flooring, designer lighting, and modern cable-rail staircases.

Beyond the glass, the outdoor living spaces are second to none, highlighted by a lower-level stone terrace perfect for evening gatherings under the stars. Completing this exceptional offering is an oversized three-car garage, a whole house generator, and an elevator that services both levels, ensuring this home remains a lifetime legacy property in Western North Carolina's most coveted community.
