Property Description

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE VIEW! Completely amazing views from this mountaintop retreat. Nestled on a level .75 acres-with up to 3 acres available. Unobstructed views of the Blue Ridge from the Linville Gorge to Mount Mitchell, Table Rock, Grandfather Mountain, Lake James and Morganton. Amazing sunsets! Floor to ceiling windows flood the two story great room with light during the day and let you see all the stars at night. Contemporary style made for entertaining. Wide open great room with oversized island for friends and family to gather around while the cook prepares dinner on the eight burner gas range. The scullery hides behind a swinging door making it convenient for prep and cleaning. Primary suites on each level showcase the views from bedroom and bathrooms. Literally soak in the views from the elevated tub. The main level primary has also been sound insulated and could be used as a recording studio! Heated floors throughout main level. Two additional bedrooms and a hall bath on the upper level. Laundry on main and upper levels. Built with acoustics in mind, this home could be used as a recording studio or small rehearsal or venue space. Outside you’ll find a large covered carport, low maintenance hardiboard sided exterior & metal roof and a concrete patio that seamlessly blends the great room into the outside fire pit area. All this at an elevation just under 3000 feet so the you can enjoy cooler temps all summer long. Super energy efficient. State maintained paved road right to Walkertop Heights and then well graded gravel road to the house. Just 15 minutes to downtown Morganton but you’ll feel a world away!
