Premier vacation rental offering, newly built in 2024 and thoughtfully designed to deliver a pinnacle guest experience in The Galena Territory! Welcome to Blue Ridge Reserve, a 3,000+ sq ft contemporary retreat licensed for short-term rental featuring 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, refined finishes, peaceful wooded surroundings, and one of the area’s most distinctive entertainment spaces: a state-of-the-art Golf Simulator/Theater/TV/Bar combo created for year-round enjoyment and flexible use. The bright and airy main-level great room showcases a central gallery-style living space centered around an electric fireplace, flowing into a custom dining table for ten crafted from an on-property elm tree and an efficient chef’s kitchen outfitted with gorgeous quartz counters, LG appliances, convection oven, refrigerator with multiple ice settings, and custom cabinetry. The layout includes two spacious primary suites (one on each level) with solid wood king beds and three additional bedrooms with dual twin bed configurations (six total twin beds), supported by four full bathrooms with sleek dual-sink vanities—three featuring rain shower heads and one with a bathtub—along with a convenient main level half bath. Prepare to be wowed as you retreat to the lower level to find an absolute haven of recreation and entertainment, where you are welcomed by the golf simulator/theater/bar room offering so many exciting amenities you may never want to leave! The custom simulator setup uniquely sunken below the periphery bar features Protee launch monitor technology, GSPro software, stunning 4K graphics, access to 1,200+ courses including many notable names, advanced swing analytics, and seamless conversion to a full theater experience with a massive 9’ x 15’ screen and high-fidelity surround sound, complemented by a wet bar with sink, beverage and wine fridge, glassware, and built-in charging stations, plus generous seating across sectional, bar, and general hangout areas. Go from playing golf one minute to loading your favorite streaming service the next to enjoy a full-on movie theater feel! Directly accessible just outside you will find an impressive 600+/- square foot covered rear patio anchored by a 7-person Bullfrog hot tub, dining area for eight, Blackstone grill, custom outdoor bag set each sited on their own concrete pad and warm and inviting fire pit, all overlooking tranquil forest views and abundant nature beyond, making this turn-key, premium vacation rental a rare opportunity for both personal enjoyment and investment potential. Additional amenities include fiber internet access, dual-zone HVAC with whole-home air circulation, a dedicated laundry room with high-capacity LG washer/dryer and accessories, sold tastefully furnished with many quality pieces sourced from Crate and Barrel. Just a short trip to Owners' Club with indoor pool, outdoor pool, fitness facility, game room, multi-sport gym, tennis courts and more, access to scenic Lake Galena, and miles of gorgeous trails.
