Perched at an awe-inspiring 4,300 feet within the prestigious Balsam Mountain Preserve, this exceptional estate captures the essence of elevated mountain living, where crisp “sweater weather” and cool breezes provide amazing summer days. Gorgeous views of layered blue ridgelines provide a stunning natural backdrop that shifts beautifully with the light.
As a truly move-in ready retreat, the home blends timeless mountain architecture with refined, modern upgrades. The inspired use of wood, stone, glass, and steel creates a striking architectural statement that harmonizes with its natural surroundings. Dramatic floor-to-ceiling glass walls flood the interior with natural light and perfectly frame the vistas from nearly every room. An open-concept great room anchored by a grand fireplace create a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere. The chef’s kitchen is a standout, featuring striking quartzite countertops paired with exquisite Italian Snaidero custom cabinetry and premium appliances.
Offering 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, this home has been thoughtfully updated with high-end finishes and beautifully remodeled bathrooms with onyx countertops. The lavish primary suite is a sanctuary of comfort, featuring a spa-like soaking tub, private patio, and radiant heated floors. Flexible spaces abound, including a private suite above the garage—ideal for guests, a studio, or office—and a lower-level art studio that can easily convert back to a garage. Heated floors continue through the second dining room and lower-level corridor ensuring year-round indulgence.
Indoor and outdoor living merge effortlessly with expansive outdoor living spaces. Outdoors you will find a grand deck covered with its own fireplace, cascading terraces with a lighted water feature, and a private fire pit—each perfect for luxurious entertaining or serene evenings under the stars and unforgettable sunsets. The landscaping has been exquisitely curated to fit the property perfectly.
As part of this private, gated community, residents enjoy an unparalleled lifestyle with access to incredible amenities, including a championship Arnold Palmer golf course, a state-of-the-art wellness center, and multiple dining venues offering everything from casual fare to elevated culinary experiences. Forty miles of scenic hiking trails and preserved natural landscapes further enhance the sense of serenity and connection to the outdoors.
This is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey luxury retreat in one of the region’s most sought-after high-elevation communities—where every detail is complete and every day feels like the perfect mountain escape.
