This luxurious mountain home was built with an appreciation of natural materials. Interior enhancements will catch your eye the moment you enter this cozy home with the amount of antique wormy chestnut used from the floor to the soaring wood ceilings. Three interior stacked stone fireplaces make a strong Architectural statement yet inviting and cozy for small or large family gatherings. The main level has everything needed for comfort while the upper & lower level expands the house for large gatherings. A chef's kitchen is open and offers all the facilities needed to create wonderful meals. The covered deck features a stone fireplace to warm you on a chilly night when enjoying the multiple mountain ranges and sunsets view. Tranquility and privacy will be yours in this private setting at the lofty elevation of 4700'. Balsam Mountain Preserve is a premier gated community offering a private Club for Members.
