Nestled within the pristine, gated community of Whisper Mountain, this home blends luxury, comfort, and environmental mindfulness in a setting unlike any other. Crafted in a timeless, rustic farmhouse style, the home features vaulted ceilings, rich natural textures, and intentional green building features throughout. The elegant and inviting kitchen features high-end appliances, a farmhouse sink, and a large island topped with galaxy granite. The kitchen flows into the two-story living room filled with an abundance of windows and stone fireplace with built-in wood stove insert providing natural light and cozy warmth. Two spacious bedrooms on the main level each offer ensuite baths, creating ideal single-level living. Upstairs you find a sunny loft and office nook that overlooks the space, adding charm and versatility as well as a third bedroom and full bath for guests. Downstairs, a beautifully designed guest suite or apartment includes a private entrance, full bath, and wet bar—perfect for visitors, rental income, or multi-generational living. A new Brava cedar shake roof was installed in summer 2025 and compliments the Craftsman style, while adding to the long list of sustainable features. The two-story outbuilding is an exceptional bonus—built as a creative writing retreat above a workshop, it’s a space that inspires. Take in long-range views of Mount Mitchell and epic sunsets from the covered deck and patio or unwind in your custom-built in-ground spa with stone detailing and waterfall features after walking the neighborhood trails. Rich in biodiversity, the Whisper Mountain Community and majestic Sky Valley Clubhouse feel like a private national park with spring-fed creeks, brilliant night skies, shared gathering spaces, hand-laid stone walking trails, and access to all the amenities of a vibrant mountain community.
