122 Elk Wallow Trail

Stunning winner of 2025 Parade of Homes Gold Awards for Craftsmanship and Green Certification perched above the Reems Creek Valley and adjacent to its headwaters - 310 acres protected through a conservation easement with Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy. Expansive glass and natural materials seamlessly connect this home to the surrounding forest and distant mountain views. A restrained palette of concrete & steel, charred cypress, white oak & black walnut, and consistent, minimalist details allow nature to be the focal point.

Enter through the sunken patio garden into the heart of the home under a 2,000sf living roof. An open floor plan spans the inviting glass-lined living room, a gracious central dining area, and flows through a 16ft wide opening to the covered porch with panoramic mountain sunsets. The stunning sunrise-kissed kitchen inspires culinary creativity with warm wood tones & clean quartzite countertops paired with the finest Fisher & Paykel integrated appliances, the perfect pantry, and a baker's nook.

The primary bedroom boasts some of the best views in the house. Enjoy an elevated en-suite bath with quarter sawn oak cabinetry, a handmade tile & frameless glass shower, and a well appointed walk-in closet. An upper level office provides a close, yet secluded workspace with astounding long range & forest views.

Downstairs is centered on a sumptuous media lounge that's open to a covered patio and big beautiful views. Two bedrooms flex into one shared space with a retractable wall. The game & fitness room works for anything, including a large fourth bedroom.

And there's a secure & conditioned 6x12 wine cellar. Back on main, an oversized carport lends access to a conditioned workshop/studio space that can easily connect for an expanded primary suite. Minimalism has been maximized with a conscious curation of exactly what one needs.
