Imagine waking up to mountain light pouring through a two-story wall of windows, coffee in hand on your private deck, with over 3,000 acres of trails, ponds, and waterfalls just beyond your door. This custom cedar-sided home isn't just move-in ready — it's an opportunity to build a legacy.
Step inside to a bright, open living room anchored by a fireplace with an efficient woodstove insert, perfect for cozy mountain evenings. The updated kitchen is a chef's dream: custom cabinetry, leathered granite countertops, a gas range, and stainless appliances that make entertaining effortless. The main-floor primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a walk-in shower, while three additional bedrooms and a full bath upstairs give everyone their own space.
And then there's the basement — a blank canvas with its own private entrance, ready to become a rec room, home office, or income-producing apartment. The possibilities are yours to shape.
This isn't just a home — it's a legacy property. With multiple individually deeded home sites, it's ideal for a family compound, a private retreat, or a smart investment (short-term rentals are welcome here). Set on a level, scenic yard with an attached 2-car garage, you'll have all the space you need, with room to expand.
Beyond your gate, the Gateway community offers exclusive access to ponds, walking trails, waterfalls, and picnic areas — all just steps from a 12,000-acre conservancy on its way to becoming protected state forest. Down the road, charming Old Fort serves up music jams, fishing, biking, and small-town warmth, all with easy access to I-40 for quick trips into town or beyond.
Privacy, community, and endless potential — this mountain gem has it all. Come see it before someone else calls it home.
