80 Range Drive, Maggie Valley, NC 28751

Property Description

There is a version of mountain living everyone pictures before they start looking. Long views that hold all year. A house that lives easy on one floor. Room for everyone who wants to visit and a drive home you never think twice about. It usually takes a few showings to learn how rarely those things arrive together. They do here. The view is the reason you stop the car. Ridgeline after ridgeline running out toward historic Main Street Waynesville, and because the owners cleared for it deliberately, it stays that way in February and again in July when the trees shine green. The elevation is real, the air up here proves it in August, and the drive to reach it is the easy kind. Maggie Valley Country Club sits moments below, and Lake Junaluska and downtown Waynesville are only a quick drive when you want a little extra charm and adventure. Inside, the living room, dining and kitchen open to each other and to that view, through windows and glass doors onto a covered porch running more than 40 feet across the back of the house. Sit on that porch for 10 minutes and the quiet is the thing you will remember on the drive home. The home has been dramatically renovated and that renovation was built around what you see from the windows, right down to the palette, blues and creams that pick up the ridges and the clouds behind them. A floor-to-ceiling gas fireplace anchors the living room, the kitchen shines anew with updated cabinetry, new appliances, new granite and a breakfast bar for people to lounge at while you cook. The dining room flows effortlessly between the two for easy entertaining. Three bedrooms on the main floor is the part experienced buyers have to see to believe, and they are split to opposite ends, so the house sleeps a full crowd with everyone keeping their quiet. The primary is large enough to live in rather than just sleep in, with a walk-in closet, the laundry nearby, and a bath rebuilt into dual vanities, a walk-in shower and a freestanding soaking tub with a view. Downstairs was taken to the studs and rebuilt with intention, giving guests a floor of their own with an en-suite bedroom, full bath and a recreation room long enough for a pool table, gym, lounge or all three. Then there is the work you feel rather than photograph. A complete HVAC overhaul and a whole-home Generac generator, new roof, new flooring, new lighting, fresh paint on every surface inside and out, five new windows downstairs and more. Upper and lower driveways mean you never back down a mountain to leave, and the garage holds two vehicles, an EV charger and everything else that comes up here with you. The yard rolls gently rather than dropping off the way it usually does at this elevation, and the house is on city water and city sewer with no HOA dues. Everything that usually waits for the next owner has been done here. All that is left is deciding which chair on the deck is yours.
