A One-of-a-Kind Mountain Retreat on the 14th Fairway in Bent Tree. Tucked away on the 14th fairway of Bent Tree’s scenic golf course, this lovingly restored 1978 home is a rare find—where privacy, natural beauty, craftsmanship, and character come together in a truly special mountain retreat. Situated on .47 acres with creeks flowing along three sides of the property, the setting is wonderfully private and surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. In winter, enjoy beautiful views of Sharp Top Mountain, while the golf course provides a picturesque backdrop throughout the seasons. From the moment you arrive, it is clear this is not an ordinary mountain home. Cedar siding, a welcoming front porch, screened porch, spacious deck, and beautifully landscaped surroundings create an inviting first impression. The home has been thoughtfully restored while retaining its original charm, and virtually every room features unique details, finishes, and architectural touches that make this property truly distinctive. The main level offers a comfortable and functional floor plan with the primary suite, guest bedroom, and full guest bath all conveniently located on one level. The primary bedroom opens directly onto the screened porch, creating a peaceful retreat where you can enjoy your morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day. At the heart of the home is the inviting Great Room, featuring a wood-burning fireplace with a beautiful stacked-stone facing and a substantial solid walnut mantel. The warm, natural materials throughout the home complement the surrounding mountain setting and create a cozy atmosphere that feels equally suited to quiet evenings or entertaining family and friends. The kitchen is both beautiful and exceptionally functional, featuring KraftMaid 38-inch cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, a double-bowl deep sink, separate vegetable sink, breakfast bar, and custom storage. Pull-out shelving in the pantry and convenient drawer storage make the kitchen as practical as it is attractive.The terrace level expands the living space with a comfortable family room featuring a wood-burning stove, a large workshop, guest bedroom, full bath, and patio. Whether used for hobbies, projects, recreation, or additional guest accommodations, this level offers tremendous flexibility. Outside, the creeks bordering three sides of the property create a tranquil setting and enhance the feeling of seclusion. A two-car carport plus driveway parking provides plenty of space for vehicles, while the workshop offers additional room for the hobbyist or craftsman. With a new roof installed in 2025, this special home combines peace of mind with the charm and individuality that are increasingly difficult to find. Every room seems to reveal another interesting feature or thoughtful finish—far too many to list. This is a home that truly needs to be experienced in person to appreciate all it has to offer. A must-see property for anyone looking for a distinctive mountain home with golf-course frontage, exceptional privacy, beautiful natural surroundings, and a level of character you simply cannot duplicate.
