MODERN MOUNTAIN MASTERPIECE, SMART HOME & CONVENIENT! Rustic elegance meets modern sophistication in this exceptionally crafted 3-bedroom/3.5-bath luxury mountain home on 2.198 acres located just 4 miles from downtown Boone. Enjoy breathtaking views and the gentle sounds of the Linville Creek tributary seasonally running through your property, while still enjoying close proximity to the local liveliness of shops, restaurants, and App State events! As you approach via the stunning porte-cochère, an 8-foot smart-lock entry door welcomes you into an open-concept sanctuary flooded with natural light, showcasing rich Acacia floors and custom wood-clad accents. Subtle, organic rainforest elements give the home an unforgettable, therapeutic ambiance. Through the massive Pella windows at the back of the home, take in stunning long-range layered mountain views and beautiful surrounding land steeped in rich farming history. The back faces west and the brilliant sunset skies over the mountains will captivate you at dusk. The open floor plan features a gourmet kitchen with rich leathered granite countertops, a deep rustic granite farm sink, stainless steel appliances, and a premium kitchen island designed for easy prepping and effortless entertaining. The open-concept dining and living areas are highlighted with soaring wood-clad vaulted ceilings, a dramatic rock wall with a built-in gas fireplace and entertainment system, state-of-the-art Bang and Olufsen sound system, Hubbardton Forge designer lighting, and sleek Haiku fans. A flexible, light filled bonus room off the dining area offers space for a sunroom, office, or home gym. The main floor primary suite features a cozy sitting area, a barn-wood accent wall with a floating bed, a large custom walk-in closet, and a spa-like wet room ensuite equipped with two sink areas and a separate water closet containing a smart hybrid/ toilet. Floating wood stairs lead you to the downstairs walkout level. Here you will find 2 additional large bedrooms with well-appointed ensuite bathrooms, an entertainment room, a wet bar with a live-edge counter table, and a laundry room with a sink. Outdoor relaxation spots include open and covered composite deck areas, a ground level covered flagstone patio leading to a moonlit starry night stone fire pit, and professional landscaping & hardscaping. An expansive 20x40 detached metal building offers space for an ultimate workshop, vehicle collection, or premier game room. This home would make an incredible primary or secondary residence. With absolutely no HOA restrictions, this property is also a lucrative short- or long-term rental opportunity. Furnishings are negotiable and available upon request for a potential turn-key purchase. Bonus: Looking to build a family compound? Inquire about the adjacent 3-acre homestead, which will be available for future purchase. Quality built throughout including superior wall foundation, spray foam insulation, 50 year asphalt shingles & metal roof, and a professional water filtration system. Watauga Medical Center and various medical offices are approximately 7 miles away with easy access year round. The road is paved to the house and both grocery delivery and Door Dash services are available.
