The View That Can Never Be Taken! Perched at the literal summit of the private, gated community of South Mountain Peaks, this impeccable estate offers a rare 200-plus-degree un-blockable panorama stretching from the Southeast to the West-Northwest. While other homes "have a view," this property is a fortress of vista protection; with road frontage on three sides and a neighboring home already established on the non-view side, no future construction can ever encroach on your direct line of sight to Mount Mitchell and the Blue Ridge chain. The residence is defined by its signature dual-prow architecture, featuring soaring walls of floor-to-ceiling glass on both the front and rear of the home. This unique configuration pulls the mountains into the Great Room from every angle.

The Great Room boasts stunning tongue & groove ceilings, warm wood flooring throughout the main level, and a cozy gas fireplace with timber beam accents. The kitchen is equipped with custom Hickory cabinetry, a center island, and high-end finishes; pre-plumbed for a future gas stove and adjacent to a screened-in porch for bug-free al fresco dining.
