This club offers a true lodge w/ gorgeous gathering areas, dining/bars, gym, infinity pool, hot tubs, pavilion, sports courts, walking trails, and year-round community events. All located in the foothills with access & views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, hiking, biking, fishing, wineries, breweries, and more... this area is a mecca for the outdoor lover!
From the moment you enter, the quality is unmistakable. Vaulted & 10-ft ceilings, genuine hardwood flooring, 8-ft interior doors, and thoughtful built-ins are just the beginning. The main level centers around a stunning open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area designed for everyday living and impressive entertaining. The kitchen is truly a showpiece, featuring a large island, commercial-grade appliances, Wolf gas range and double ovens, ice maker, professional hood, built-in WOLF coffee machine, custom cabinetry, and a true butler's pantry. Every detail has been thoughtfully selected to create a kitchen that is as functional as it is beautiful.

The main level offers 2 bedrooms, including a spacious front bedroom currently utilized as an office, as well as an extraordinary primary suite. The primary bedroom features a spectacular oversized walk-in closet w/ custom organizational system & an ensuite bath that feels more like a private spa, complete w/ a luxurious soaking tub, quartz vanity, and breathtaking custom-tiled shower. A beautifully appointed 1/2 bath is located just off the main living area for guests. A thoughtfully designed mudroom provides access from the garage and includes stair access to the home's private 2nd living quarters above the garage. This versatile space offers a bedroom, comfortable living room w/ fireplace, full bath, and walk-in closet, ideal for guests or a private retreat.

Multiple levels of composite decking include two screened-in back porches and an additional open-air deck, while the lower level opens to a poured patio, creating a private outdoor retreat centered around the hot tub and fire pit area. One of the screened porches is enhanced by its own fireplace, creating an inviting space to enjoy outdoor living well into the cooler months.
