Escape to this craftsman-inspired mountain cabin, where fine finishes meet rugged beauty. The chef’s kitchen features Silestone surfaces and Viking appliances, perfect for hosting. Step out to the oversized screened porch—ideal for lounging—and enjoy evenings in the hot tub or around the fire pit.
Set on nearly 2 acres, with a meandering creek at the property line, this elevated retreat offers both seclusion and serenity. The open interior flows effortlessly, much like the property itself, blending warm timber, stone features, and high-end fixtures.
Located in Balsam Mountain Preserve, you’ll enjoy a lifestyle of adventure and relaxation: championship golf at the Arnold Palmer course, miles of private equestrian and hiking trails, upscale dining, and resort-quality club amenities—all within a gated, conservation-minded community.
