Welcome to this gorgeous new home in the highly desirable Catawba River Club, a private gated community where beautiful homes, open pastures, the Catawba River and the Blue Ridge foothills come together to create an exceptional lifestyle. This thoughtfully designed new construction sits on a beautiful homesite that backs directly to the community pastures, offering a picturesque rural setting and the unique opportunity to enjoy horses right outside your back door. The experience and craftsmanship developed through building multi-million-dollar luxury homes has been thoughtfully brought into this build, with an emphasis on premium materials, quality construction and elevated details throughout. For the equestrian enthusiast, the possibilities are especially exciting. The equestrian center features a 16-stall stable, pastures and paddocks, riding facilities and designated riding trails along the Catawba River. Imagine stepping outside each morning to views of horses grazing in the pasture and enjoying a community where the equestrian lifestyle is truly part of the character. Inside, premium details and thoughtful upgrades are found throughout, including 2x6 exterior wall construction, enhanced insulation, spray-foam insulation at the roof deck, and two dedicated heat-pump HVAC systems serving each floor. Energy-efficient Low-E windows, smart thermostats, LED recessed lighting, a tankless gas water heater and a sealed crawlspace with dedicated dehumidification add comfort and efficiency. The interior features engineered French oak hardwood flooring, 8-foot solid-wood interior doors, real pine trim, custom built-in closet systems, quartz countertops and custom steel interior railings. The kitchen is especially impressive with a Thermador professional appliance package, while designer accent lighting and a dedicated beverage center with an undercounter refrigerator and LED-lit shelving add style and functionality. A 54-inch linear gas fireplace creates a dramatic living-room focal point, and the spacious rear screened-in porch provides an inviting extension of the living space for relaxing and entertaining. Additional thoughtful features include a premium insulated carriage-house style garage door, wall-mounted Wi-Fi garage door opener with battery backup, epoxy-flake garage flooring, smart-home infrastructure, and an integrated security system with video doorbell and exterior cameras. Oversized windows and 8-foot exterior door openings bring abundant natural light inside while enhancing views of the surrounding landscape. Catawba River Club offers far more than its equestrian amenities. Residents enjoy a peaceful, gated setting with miles of wooded and riverfront trails for walking, hiking and horseback riding, a scenic community pond, and multiple opportunities for river access. The Catawba River provides a beautiful backdrop for kayaking, canoeing, fishing and relaxing along the water. With more than 55 acres of common area incorporated into the community’s natural setting, there is an abundance of room to enjoy the outdoors.
