Thoughtfully crafted and nearly new, this 2023 Valle Crucis home pairs modern comfort with timeless mountain character. Surrounded by mature native trees and filled with natural light, you'll enjoy peaceful woodland and mountain views throughout. Expansive glass doors connect the main living space to a two-level covered porch and deck, while the walk-out lower level provides another direct connection to the outdoors.
Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the home features 10-foot ceilings on the main and lower levels, 8-foot doors, hardwood floors, designer finishes, and an open living area centered around a gas fireplace with custom built-ins. The spacious kitchen flows naturally into the dining and living areas and out to the covered porch. —equally suited to quiet mornings with coffee or evenings with family and friends.
A bedroom and full bath on each of the home's three levels provide flexibility and privacy for family and guests. Upstairs, additional open space offers room to relax, work, or create. The bright walk-out lower level features abundant windows, a second living area, and two additional flex spaces well suited for a home office, studio, fitness room, game or movie room, or additional guest space.
This home combines modern construction with practical mountain-living features including a zoned dual-fuel HVAC system, tankless water heater, Superior Walls foundation system, and professionally installed radon mitigation system.
A rustic barn provides space for a workshop, hobbies, or equipment storage. A year-round natural spring, apple trees, mature hardwoods, and abundant wildlife add to the character of the property. Deer, turkeys, foxes, and hawks are regular visitors.
A short drive takes you to the heart of Valle Crucis. You'll enjoy convenient access to Mast General Store, Valle Crucis Community Park, the Watauga River, Boone, Blowing Rock, and Banner Elk—a rare combination of newer construction and flexible living space.
