Property Description

Come and see this serene mountain retreat, nestled in the gated Sanctuary subdivision on the very edge of the Mount Mitchell communities, situated directly across from the beauty and abundant wildlife of Pisgah National Forest. Outdoor enthusiasts will also appreciate being just moments away from the crystal-clear waters of the South Toe River, known for its exceptional fishing and pristine mountain streams. Offered with tasteful, high quality furniture and floor rugs, this architect-designed custom one-and-a-half-story home features warm wood floors, anchored by an expansive, well-appointed great room that seamlessly connects to a nicely equipped kitchen. Generous windows flood the interior with natural sunlight while framing peaceful natural surroundings. Upstairs, the loft sitting area offers a cozy sanctuary for reading or relaxing, complementing two spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a versatile bonus room ideal for a home office or extra guest space. Downstairs, a large partially finished basement provides abundant potential for additional storage or workshop space. Outside, outdoor living shines with a spacious upper deck perfect for entertaining against a dramatic, tree-shaded view of the mountain peaks, accompanied by a private lower-level deck for additional room to expand. While offering complete mountain tranquility, the home is ideally situated for easy access to regional hubs and outdoor adventure. Everyday amenities, charming local dining, and shopping in Burnsville and Spruce Pine are just a short 25-minute drive away. For world-class dining, cultural attractions, craft breweries, and high-country charm, Asheville, Boone, and Blowing Rock are all little more than a one-hour drive, putting the best of Western North Carolina right at your doorstep. This property is located in one of the Mount Mitchell golf course neighborhoods, and offers a front-row seat to a major upcoming community revitalization. Following hurricane-related impacts, the course has been acquired by new ownership with announced plans to rebuild, modernize, and elevate both the course and clubhouse back to their former standards (and potentially beyond). While currently non-operational and undergoing long-term redevelopment, this project presents an opportunity to move early into a neighborhood with potential for rebirth.
