This is one of the most private and unique mountain homes in Western North Carolina. While affording maximum privacy and quiet, it is located within Gateway Mountain, one of the most natural gated communities of Western North Carolina. This home is within a half hour of Lake Lure, Old Fort and Black Mountain, and 35 minutes from Asheville. At about 2000ft elevation, it is ideally situated for cool summer days and mild winters. The southern exposure gives warming sunlight in the cool seasons and trees shade the house and decks in the summer. This unique Normerica cedar-sided timber frame home is of the highest quality construction, with many innovative and energy efficient features personally designed by the original owner, who also custom built all the interior doors. Situated on a very private and quiet 3.1 acre lot, the home is adjacent to community green space and has a paved driveway and two car garage. Enjoy breakfast in the sunny breakfast nook, or on the adjacent flagstone patio, and since you are in the closest house to Gateway Mountains premier natural attraction, you can take a few minute walk to beautiful Waterfall Park, and then relax on the newly refinished decks while enjoying the breathtaking Lake Lure view, surrounded by the mature forest and native gardens. Interior first floor amenities include the master bedroom suite with a unique three room master bath, great room with cathedral ceiling, hardwood floors and wood stove, large custom kitchen with ceramic counters, sunroom/breakfast nook, laundry room and powder room. The second level features two more bedrooms, full bath with separate tub and shower, and the heated, unfinished basement (with its own Lake Lure view) has loads of space for storage, additional bedrooms, workshop or game room, and is plumbed for an additional bathroom. The home is internet wired, with receiver installed; just turn your computers on. Within the last year the whole house was painted and the hardwood floors and decks were refinished, making the house in like new, ready to move in condition! This is the perfect mountain get-away and has been a pleasure to own, never ceasing to amaze us with its features and energy efficiency! We love this mountain community and its natural assets so much that we have moved less than a half mile away to another home better fitting our simpler retirement needs. You could never duplicate the location, or this home for anything close to the asking price!
