Description

This beautiful mountainside retreat sits on an acre and a half and boasts three levels of outdoor living, a custom four-car garage complete with auto lift, and a whole house generator. It feels like you're tucked away in the mountains, while simultaneously being convenient to the sights and scenes of Blue Ridge, McKaysville, Copperhill, Murphy & Blairsville. There are stunning views from every door and window: flowers bloom in the spring, gorgeous foliage colors in the fall, snow capped trees and mountains in the winter. As you approach the home, you'll be surrounded by trees on a paved road and you'll be greeted by the home as you go up the paved driveway toward the garage, which has plenty of space to also be used as a workshop. On the main level, two stories of windows showcase spectacular wooded mountain views. The open-concept kitchen with exotic granite countertops overlooks the family room with gas log fireplace and french doors open onto a wrap-around porch perfect for entertaining family and friends. The master retreat encompasses the entire upper level, featuring a loft space overlooking the family room, two porches, and an updated bathroom with a whirlpool tub, double vanity and walk-in closet; it truly is your own private oasis. The lower level is an entertainer's dream complete with a game room (room for billiards) and wet bar, full bathroom and a bonus/flex space that is currently being used as a bedroom. On the lower level deck, you'll find a new hot tub (less than 2 years old) and even more space to enjoy nature. There's even an additional gravel parking pad if you need room for guest parking. There is nothing "cookie cutter" about this home as it has some unique vanities and finishes with a combination of rustic wood and modern walls, custom kitchen, gorgeous flooring, upgraded showers, river rock landscaping, and cool lighting and fan fixtures throughout the home. This is a beloved family home but would also make a fantastic weekend retreat or short term vacation rental.
