About This Home

Custom Mountain Retreat with Panoramic Lake Lure & Mountain Views!

Experience the craftsmanship and character of a truly custom-built mountain home, where warm wood finishes, dramatic architectural details, and spectacular long-range views create an unforgettable Western North Carolina retreat. Privately situated on nearly 10 acres, which includes 5 total parcels with additional potential build sites, (one of which has an existing well and driveway), this distinctive home overlooks Lake Lure in the valley below, framed by layers of surrounding mountains.

Designed to embrace its extraordinary setting, the home offers multiple outdoor living spaces, including an expansive wraparound porch, screened porch, deck, and spacious sunroom. Whether enjoying morning coffee, dining outdoors, or simply watching the mountains change with the seasons, there are endless opportunities to take in the scenery and peaceful mountain atmosphere.

Inside, rich wood finishes, soaring ceilings, and handcrafted details showcase the quality and character of the custom construction. Impressive floor-to-ceiling fireplaces anchor the living spaces and add to the home's warm, rustic elegance.

The thoughtfully designed main level offers comfortable everyday living with a primary suite and private bath, kitchen and dining areas, foyer, laundry/half bath, and easy access to the screened porch and deck through double doors. The light-filled kitchen provides abundant cabinetry and flows naturally into the home's gathering and outdoor spaces.

Upstairs, a spacious loft currently serves as a family room and is joined by an additional bedroom with en suite bath, another full bath, and beautiful mountain views. The lower level provides another inviting living area centered around a fireplace, along with a generously sized bedroom and en suite bath. A garage and workshop offer valuable storage and functional space for mountain living.

Located within the gated Gateway Mountain community, residents enjoy access to private natural amenities including Lake George, Waterfall Park, and Picnic Lake. Short-term rentals are permitted, adding flexibility for those considering a primary residence, second home, or investment property. Most furnishings are negotiable, creating the possibility of a more turnkey purchase.

Convenient to Interstate 40 and within reach of Asheville, Lake Lure, and many of Western North Carolina's most popular destinations, this exceptional property offers the privacy of a mountain escape without sacrificing accessibility.

Custom craftsmanship. Warm wood interiors. Expansive porches. And breathtaking views stretching across Lake Lure and the surrounding mountains. This is mountain living at its finest.

Schedule your private showing and experience the views for yourself.
