Set within the peaceful and picturesque Jones Cove Valley, this extraordinary property captures the quiet elegance of mountain living with a sense of privacy and grace that is increasingly rare. Surrounded by wooded beauty and enriched by a pond, waterfall, and layered outdoor spaces, the home feels timeless and deeply connected to its setting. Publicly offered for the first time, it is a singular opportunity to own a residence that has long been passed quietly from one steward to the next.
Inside, the home is a study in warmth, scale, and craftsmanship. Renovated in 2018, its interiors are defined by vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, rich hardwoods, and expansive windows that frame the surrounding landscape. A striking stone fireplace anchors the main living space, while the kitchen and dining areas blend understated sophistication with effortless function. The primary suite offers a true sense of retreat, while the upper and lower levels provide beautifully composed spaces for guests, work, wellness, and recreation. Separate living quarters above the detached garage add another layer of flexibility and privacy. With geothermal heating and cooling, high-performance systems, and a setting of exceptional tranquility, this is a home of uncommon beauty and enduring appeal.
