Craving complete privacy in a setting that feels like your own National Forest? This 4.22-acre estate might be as close as it gets. It features approx. 369 feet of Mountaintown Creek frontage, but the real highlight is down by the water. This stretch of creek is nearly impossible to replicate, w/ massive natural boulders creating perfect spots to climb, sit, gather, or relax in a hammock while listening to the rushing water. Cast a line & chase your trout-fishing dreams, or settle into the swing over the creek & let nature entertain you. A private SxS road provides direct access, making the creek feel like your own exclusive playground. Inside, the crucial details have been handled. This 4BR/3.5BA home is move-in ready, fully furnished & includes extensive updates: roof, gutters, HVAC, water heater, decks, screened porch, appliances, whole-house water treatment, propane fireplace, drainage solutions, retaining walls, paint, stain & more. The climate-controlled garage is set up as a gym w/ an infrared sauna, & even the crawlspace is fully encapsulated. Enter through the inviting foyer into a cozy lodge-style great room w/ vaulted ceilings, wood accents & a striking stone fireplace. The kitchen opens to the dining & living areas, featuring granite countertops, stainless appliances, ample cabinetry & a large island. The pantry & laundry are conveniently located off the kitchen.
