From its commanding ridgeline position, this exceptional mountain estate offers one of the most extraordinary long-range lake and mountain vistas in all of Western North Carolina, a breathtaking panorama that becomes the defining feature of the home the moment you walk through the door. With over 5,500 square feet of refined living space, the residence features 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and a generous terrace-level studio that can easily function as an additional bedroom. The main level is designed for luxury living and effortless entertaining, with an open-concept chef's kitchen, breakfast area, and living room—all oriented toward the sweeping views and opening onto an expansive covered porch finished in premium Ironwood decking. A stacked-stone wood-burning fireplace with custom built-ins anchors the great room, while a second stone gas fireplace on the porch creates a year-round outdoor living experience overlooking the mountains and Lake Chatuge. The chef's kitchen offers a large island, exceptional storage, top-tier appliances, and two pantries, with direct access to the laundry room and oversized two-car garage. The primary suite is a private retreat with two walk-in closets, stunning views, and a spa-inspired ensuite bath featuring custom cabinetry, a water closet, jetted tub, and glass shower. The terrace level continues the home's commitment to scale and comfort, offering a spacious second living area with stone gas fireplace, a large covered porch with uninterrupted views, a private guest suite with walk-in closet and ensuite bath, an additional bedroom with shared bath, and a versatile studio/office space. Two substantial storage/workshop rooms complete this level, which can be accessed from the main floor or the side yard. The offering includes Lots 31, 32 totaling 5.17 acres, Lot 33 (6.88 acres) and Lot 35 (1.13 acres), creating a rare 13.18-acre high-elevation compound with exceptional privacy and pristine natural surroundings.
