Discover the pinnacle of mountain living with this stunning 1.5-story retreat perfectly positioned on 3.18 private, wooded acres in Rumbling Bald. This 2011 log-sided site-built masterpiece blends rustic charm with modern elegance, offering three spacious bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths designed for both comfort and grand-scale entertaining. From the moment you step onto the stone-accented front porch and through the antique 150 year old solid oak front door with original leaded stained glass, you are greeted by an open floor plan that celebrates natural textures and high-end finishes.
The heart of the home is a magnificent great room featuring soaring wood-plank ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling stone wood burning fireplace that promises cozy evenings after a day on the lake. Large windows bathe the honey-toned wood walls in natural light, framing breathtaking year-round views of the mountains and water. The chef’s kitchen is a culinary dream, anchored by a sleek stainless steel farmhouse sink and a massive granite island with a breakfast bar. Premium appliances, including a gas range and microwave, are complemented by rich cabinetry and a custom tile backsplash, making it the perfect hub for holiday hosting or quiet morning coffees.
Step outside onto the expansive deck to experience the true magic of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Whether you are taking in the long-range vistas or enjoying the quiet rustle of the surrounding forest, the outdoor living space is unparalleled. This property is more than just a home; it is an entry into a resort lifestyle. As part of a premier gated community, you will enjoy access to a private beach, lake access, restaurants, salon & spa. For the active soul, the community offers a fitness center, pickleball, two golf courses, hiking trails, and even a business center for those who want to work where they play.
Practicality meets luxury with thoughtful upgrades including a tankless water heater, central air, and a generator for peace of mind. The home also features a substantial basement area, providing ample space for a media room, office, or hobby workshop. Quick access to local restaurants and grocery stores, this retreat offers the perfect balance of secluded mountain privacy and convenient access to world-class amenities. Basement was finished at a later date by owner without permits except for mini-split, tankless hot water heater and gas lines.
