**Don't miss the 2nd living quarters downstairs, with a cozy 1-bedroom 668 sq ft apartment** Looking for a unique ridge top home on 5 wooded acres, private and secluded, with top-of-the-world views at 4000'? In the midst of NC's most beautiful wilderness areas, it's close to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Linville Gorge and Linville Falls, with seasonal long-range views to Grandfather Mtn. and Mount. Mitchell! There are no POA fees nor restrictions. This quality custom home is filled with special features, from the hand-built oak cabinets in the kitchen and carved baseboards, to heated floors throughout, including the garage. The eclectic house blends mountain decor (decks, shakes, board & batten siding, an open loft, vaulted cedar ceilings) with lively vibrant colors and black & white checked flooring -- it is not a cookie-cutter cabin! Huge windows bring in the surrounding mountain vistas and provide passive solar energy. Other energy features include 6" studs, extra insulation under the wood t&g ceilings, ductless mini-split units (2017) for heat and AC, and a high energy boiler (2016) to provide hot water and under-floor heating. This home is well equipped for year-round comfort!
