About this home

Welcome to 174 Marina Cove, a one-of-a-kind Western North Carolina retreat where privacy, craftsmanship and natural beauty come together on approximately 5.016 acres. Centered around a distinctive custom residence, broad open lawns and a private pond with covered waterside pavilion, this property offers the space and privacy of a mountain estate while remaining convenient to Waynesville. The Energy Star Certified main residence was thoughtfully constructed with premium materials inside and out. Cypress siding, extensive ipe/ironwood wraparound decking and railings, custom stonework along the foundation and retaining walls, and attractive hardscaping create an exterior as impressive as the setting itself. Step onto the expansive deck and take in views across the property's beautiful open meadow, a wonderful backdrop for morning coffee, outdoor dining or simply enjoying the quiet. Inside, natural materials and quality craftsmanship continue throughout. Warm Asian merbau hardwood flooring, multiple varieties of granite and marble, custom built-ins and impressive stonework surrounding two fireplaces give the home a character all its own. The culinary kitchen features high-end appliances, abundant built-in storage and a deep pantry, while the adjoining great room makes a dramatic statement with its soaring vaulted ceiling and wall of windows overlooking the meadow. The spacious primary suite offers a walk-in closet and a well-appointed bath with large spa tub and separate shower. Tray ceilings, updated windows and thoughtful architectural details add to the home's distinctive feel. The lower level dramatically expands the home's possibilities with a game and recreation room, dedicated office, media room and ¾ bath, plus an unexpected luxury, a fully insulated steam room with shower. A two-car basement garage provides workshop space and abundant storage in addition to vehicle parking. Behind the finishes is an equally impressive level of construction and efficiency. The home can be heated by a 7-zone hydronic radiant-floor system powered by a high-efficiency condensing propane boiler or by the 2-zone heat pump, which also provides cooling. The foundation features R-38 Superior Walls, while the exterior walls and roof are spray-foam insulated. A generator adds another layer of comfort and preparedness. Outside is where 174 Marina Cove truly becomes something special. Broad lawns transition into wooded surroundings, creating an exceptional sense of privacy and room to breathe. At the heart of the property is the private pond and covered waterside pavilion, offering a sense of privacy to relax, entertain or spend an afternoon by the water. Enjoy dinner near the grill, tend a substantial garden, explore the property or simply appreciate having enough land to enjoy without feeling overwhelmed by it. Approximately 5.016 acres. Private pond. Expansive outdoor living. Exceptional materials and craftsmanship. Modern efficiency and connectivity. 174 Marina Cove is far more than a mountain home, it is a secluded Western North Carolina retreat created for the way you want to live. Come experience it in person, and allow yourself enough time to explore what makes this property so difficult to duplicate. See MLS 4423653 - House and Guest house listed together on 7.75 acres.
