Commanding an elevated vantage point, this White Oak Mountain retreat captures spectacular long-range views and is surrounded by pristine natural beauty. Constructed of 12" solid timber beams, each detail is designed with intention. A true destination property - this home is offered fully furnished for a seamless, turn-key luxury experience.

The rocking chair front porch and expansive foyer create a memorable arrival, opening to dramatic living spaces designed for both entertaining and an intimate haven. Inside, rich materials and curated finishes tell the story of heritage and quality. Historic 200-year-old heart pine floors and hand-painted brick flooring-imported from Italy-add warmth and character. The great room impresses with grand scale, soaring cathedral wood-beam ceilings, magnificent long-range views, and a striking stone gas fireplace. The spacious dining and fully equipped eat-in kitchen are both inviting and functional, featuring a large center island, and a stone gas fireplace that enhances the heart of the home. The main-level primary suite is made for cozy evenings with a third stone gas fireplace, an elegant iron clawfoot tub (with a view!), beautifully renovated shower, and new granite on dual vanities. A powder room and walk-in laundry/pantry complete the main floor. The upper level offers a charming loft ideal for quiet reading or unwinding, along with two private guest suites, each featuring its own ensuite bath. The lower level enhances the home's versatility with a spacious recreation room-perfect for enjoying movies or a game of billiards while relaxing with a drink at the bar, creating a cozy pub-like atmosphere. This level also includes a study or art studio, an additional guest bedroom, and a full bath, all positioned to take advantage of the beautiful views. Unfinished areas provide added functionality, including a utility room with a second washer/dryer, freezer, and refrigerator, a well-equipped tool room, and two ample storage spaces. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with the welcoming rocking chair front porch, full-length rear deck ideal for entertaining or stargazing, and a thoughtfully designed lower-level patio.
