This isn’t just a home—it’s a rare opportunity to own a private mountain retreat in one of Linville’s most coveted neighborhoods. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the peaceful Quail Forest community, this custom-built masterpiece is perfectly positioned for total seclusion, bordered by protected conservation land and serenaded by the gentle sounds of the Linville River.
With Featuring 4 spacious bedrooms and 3.5 thoughtfully designed bathrooms, this home also offers an additional versatile room—ideal for an office, sewing room, or personalized retreat to suit your lifestyle. This home radiates warmth, elegance, and quality craftsmanship at every turn. From the rich custom oak staircase and carved bannister corbels to the oak crown moulding gracing both levels, every detail was hand-selected to create an atmosphere of timeless charm and mountain sophistication.
Outdoor lovers will be drawn to the wraparound porch and deck, perfect for year-round relaxation, and the two creeks at the end of the street. Enjoy immediate access to scenic walking trails, fishing, and quiet picnic spots—right outside your door.
Inside, modern comforts meet enduring style: stainless steel appliances, solid-surface countertops, Peachtree windows and doors, premium plumbing fixtures, two Rheem heat pumps with A/C, dual hot water heaters, and even a laundry chute for added convenience. The 50-year Elk architectural shingles ensure lasting durability and peace of mind.
Despite its serene setting, this home is only minutes from Linville’s shops, dining, medical care, and major roadways—offering the best of both worlds. Homes in Quail Forest rarely come to market, making this a truly special opportunity for the discerning buyer seeking privacy, beauty, and quality in every detail.
