Property Description
Privacy begins where the pavement ends! If you are a certain type of individual who wants to be surrounded by nature and enjoys quiet and gorgeous views; you need to see this place. The home is at the end of a well-maintained half-mile gravel road. For folks who own a Rubicon, Subaru, Cross Trek, TrailSports, Raptor or any other great SUV or rugged truck, you will absolutely love it. It is mountain road leading to a modern Shangri-La. The home has been regularly visited by turkeys, deer, and thousands of birds. The five acres behind the home and up the mountain is heavily wooded, steep, and very wild. The views and the wildlife are abundant. You could have your own hunting land surrounded by vacant woods for miles.
This well-crafted beautiful home is perfectly situated for anyone who enjoys the outdoors and maximum privacy. The home was built with care and attention to architectural details. The interior is almost all local sourced pine, with recycled rock maple floors, stairs, and handrails. The cedar ceiling is from a 120-year-old mill. The main room has a soaring ceiling with two Velux skylights, an upper-level reading area and a balcony leading to a very private smaller bedroom with a great view. There is also a solid stone hearth. The exterior of the entire home is sheathed in Hardy Board siding, with one-inch-thick pine trim around and above all windows and doors. The handmade brick pavers came from a 150-year-old chimney in Mecklenburg County. The rear deck is a stunning serene quiet retreat and juts over a small creek shaded by large oaks and maples. The front porch speaks for itself; it is a favorite gathering place at anytime of day.
An interesting addition to this place is the unbelievable two-story building beside the upper driveway; it is a studio apartment. The rest of the structure is a great shop and storage area on the lower level with work benches and two entire walls of storage shelves designed for large bins and boxes. There is a double door leading in. It is perfect for yard tools, extra furniture, decorations, exercise equipment and much more. There is also an attached 12ftx25ft shed for mowers, bikes, kayaks, ladders and much more.
The very best thing about this building is the studio apartment. The entry walkway opens into a gorgeous space, tastefully done with multiple design items incorporated in the unit. The bath has a large walk-in shower, with tile and stone accents. There is a modern glass door with a leaded transom above. All floors are heart of pine with orange accents. The bed is a Murphy style fold down queen size with artwork and reading lights. The northwest facing wall is made of four large windows with custom blinds. The glass door leads to a large deck with glass surrounds. This one of the best views ever. It is the absolute perfect place for guests or a small super quiet retreat for yourself.
