About this home

Tucked into a BEAUTIFULLY WOODED MOUNTAIN SETTING yet less than a mile from town, services, and the local hospital, this nearly new custom home delivers the peace of nature without sacrificing convenience. Built just 2½ years ago with ZERO-COMPROMISE CRAFTSMANSHIP, every detail was chosen for longevity, beauty, and comfort. Asheville Regional Airport is approximately 25 MINUTES AWAY VIA I-26 — making this an effortless primary residence or mountain escape. Arrive to an impressive exterior clad in JAMES HARDIE CEMENT SIDING finished with TOP-OF-THE-LINE BENJAMIN MOORE PAINT, framed by large COVERED FRONT AND BACK PORCHES with TREX DECKING — built to last and maintenance-free. The 8-FOOT DOUBLE MAHOGANY FRONT DOORS set the tone immediately: this is not a cookie-cutter home. SPRAY FOAM INSULATION with a fresh-air intake system ensures year-round efficiency and exceptional air quality. Step inside to soaring 9-TO-14-FOOT CEILINGS with warm WOOD ACCENTS in the living areas, abundant natural light pouring through numerous 6 -FOOT-TALL WINDOWS, and COMMERCIAL-GRADE 20-MIL WEAR-LAYER LVP FLOORING throughout. The ROCK FIREPLACE anchors the living space with timeless mountain character. Solid-core doors and thoughtfully placed pocket and barn doors create an open yet intimate flow. CAN LIGHTING THROUGHOUT paired with Hunter ceiling fans keeps the ambiance perfectly tuned day or night. The kitchen is a true showpiece — a 9-FOOT ISLAND WITH GRANITE COUNTERTOPS and a second prep sink anchors the space, while a STAINLESS FARMHOUSE SINK with spray faucet and POT FILLER adds chef-level functionality. Cabinetry with CROWN MOLDING, SOFT-CLOSE DRAWERS, and maple shelving pairs beautifully with stainless steel appliances including an INDUCTION RANGE. Whether you entertain lavishly or simply love to cook, this kitchen delivers at every level. The primary suite features a generous WALK-IN CLOSET and a luxurious 6x4-FOOT SHOWER WITH BENCH, outfitted with ALL-BRASS DELTA DESIGN SERIES FIXTURES. The second bath rivals a luxury spa with a DEEP 6-FOOT SOAKING TUB and separate shower — an indulgence every guest will appreciate. A SMART HOT WATER HEATER with INSTANT-HOT FIXTURES means comfort is always on demand. The OVERSIZED TWO-CAR GARAGE offers far more than parking. With its generous footprint, it presents an exceptional opportunity to finish into a THIRD BEDROOM, flex room, home office, or guest suite — adding immediate equity and flexibility. Buyers looking for room to grow will find this one of the most compelling features on the property. The IN -GROUND 250-GALLON PROPANE TANK ensures whole-home energy needs are covered now and into the future. World-class equestrian events at TRYON INTERNATIONAL EQUESTRIAN CENTER are just minutes away, along with acclaimed dining, craft brews at Iron Key Brewing, and community events at Stearns Park. Hiking, waterfalls, and mountain adventures await in every direction. This is WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA LIVING AT ITS FINEST — priced for the discerning buyer who recognizes true quality when they see it. Schedule your private showing today; opportunities like this do not last.
