Welcome to a mountain retreat unlike any other. Perched among the treetops, at over 4,000 ft of elevation and on 3.59 private acres, this exceptional home boasts one of the most breathtaking 180-degree, year-round, long-range mountain views in Western North Carolina. Watch clouds drift through the valleys, enjoy birds visiting your feeders throughout the year, and celebrate Independence Day with fireworks over Lake Junaluska—all from the comfort of your own home. Every season brings a spectacular new landscape, and nearly every room on the main level is perfectly positioned to capture the ever-changing beauty of the mountains. Designed to embrace the view, the living room features a cozy wood-burning fireplace and walls of windows that bring the outdoors in. The kitchen is equally impressive with stone countertops, a farmhouse sink, pantry, beverage refrigerator, new 2026 dishwasher, and even a mountain view while washing dishes. A thoughtfully designed addition (likely completed around 2020) elevated the home with a luxurious primary suite addition featuring a spa-inspired bathroom complete with dual vanities, vaulted ceiling, wood-look tile flooring, spacious walk-in shower with rainfall showerhead, linen closet, and direct access to the hot tub deck. Step outside to the expansive 20' x 20' covered deck with tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, hot tub, and multiple seating areas—all overlooking miles of uninterrupted mountain scenery. The versatile lower level offers endless possibilities. Currently arranged as a recreation space with a theater area featuring surround sound, a unique spiral staircase, and a poker room, it could easily become a media room, home office, fitness studio, craft room, cocktail lounge, playroom, guest retreat, or whatever best fits your lifestyle. Additional improvements include a whole-house generator (2019), tankless water heater (2021), and abundant storage with an oversized two-car garage, workshop, and utility/laundry room. A path leads to the fire pit below, providing yet another place to soak in the incredible surroundings. Unlike many homes with views of this caliber, the drive is surprisingly accessible, with most of the road paved—making everyday access much easier, even without all-wheel drive in normal conditions. Whether you're searching for a primary residence, private mountain getaway, vacation rental, or long-term rental, this home can suit your needs. The sale includes two parcels totaling approximately 3.59 acres (approximately 1.20 and 2.39 acres). As an added bonus, this property is sold FULLY-FURNISHED. The additional lower parcel (PIN 8635-17-6514) offers exciting possibilities—whether you envision building a second structure (buyer to verify) or simply preserving the privacy and natural beauty surrounding the property. Ideally located approximately 6 miles from historic downtown Waynesville, 7 miles from Lake Junaluska, 15 miles from Maggie Valley and its popular ski areas, and just 30 miles from Asheville. Per seller, the property sustained no damage from Hurricane Helene.
