Custom log home on 2.27 private acres in Grandview Peaks, the gated mountain community off the Nebo exit of I-40 between Marion and Morganton, with long-range, year-round Blue Ridge views from all three finished levels. Built in 2017 with 5 bedrooms, 6 full baths, a main-level primary suite and a complete in-law suite on the walkout lower level, it works as a full-time residence, a mountain getaway, or the place where everyone gathers. The main level is true one-level living: primary suite, great room, dining, chef’s kitchen, laundry and two full baths on one floor, reached by a covered wraparound porch with a ramp to the driveway. The lodge-style great room rises to a beamed cathedral ceiling beside a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with gas logs, and a wall of windows and French doors opens to the deck and the view. Hardwood floors on the main and upper levels. The kitchen was built for entertaining: oversized granite island with breakfast bar seating and a wine fridge, gas cooktop, two ovens, warming drawer, two dishwashers, farmhouse sink, wet bar with prep sink, under-cabinet lighting, stainless appliances, and a walk-in pantry with a second freezer. The primary suite has a cathedral ceiling, mountain views, a walk-in closet with a window, and a spa bath with an air-jet soaking tub set under the view, a tiled walk-in shower with dual shower heads and a bench, and dual vanities. Outside, a full-width rear deck faces the mountains, a screened porch with a ceiling fan and gas heater stretches the season, and the covered patio below has a hot tub connection. Stone fire pit, deer-fenced raised-bed garden, and a wired barn-style workshop with loft storage. Detached timber-frame carport with an EV charging station, generator hookup with manual transfer switch, two-car garage with interior access, and a concrete circular drive with room for guests. Upstairs: two bedrooms, two full baths, and a loft sitting room overlooking the great room. The walkout lower level is a complete second living quarters with its own entrance: full second kitchen, two bedrooms, one with en-suite bath, a second full bath, its own laundry, and a game and theater room with a wall of mountain-view windows, tongue-and-groove ceilings and stained concrete floors. The fifth bedroom is currently set up as a home office. Multi-generational living, long-term guests or rental income without sharing the main floor. Private well and septic, both documented: a 6-inch drilled well producing 60 gallons per minute, and a conventional septic system permitted for five bedrooms and pumped in 2024. Two heat pump systems, propane water heater, gas cooktop, gas logs and porch heater, security system, Spectrum high-speed internet, and county taxes only with no city taxes. Grandview Peaks is gated with paved HOA-maintained roads and underground utilities, a 10-acre stocked lake with a sandy beach, swim platform, fishing dock and canoe and kayak access, a timber pavilion with a stone fireplace and grills, shuffleboard and volleyball courts, five miles of hiking trails and a waterfall, and an active social calendar.

***Buyer simply changed her mind which means someone else has the amazing opportunity to tour, purchase and make 55 Beamon their forever home. Don't wait this was only an active listing for a day before the offers started coming in. Second chances like this don't come often!! Call today and get your showing scheduled.*** Nearly a century of character, thoughtfully restored for the way we live today. Built in 1929, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has been a true labor of love, with the current owners spending the past five years carefully restoring and improving the property while honoring the craftsmanship and character of its era. Step inside and you'll immediately see details that simply aren't found in most newer homes—stunning original hardwood floors, substantial window and door casings, beautiful moldings and original fireplace surrounds that preserve the home's history. While the original fireplaces have been closed and are no longer in use, their craftsmanship remains an integral part of the home's character. One fireplace has been brought back to life with the addition of a wood stove, creating a wonderfully cozy gathering space. The kitchen was taken down to the studs and completely rebuilt, combining modern function with finishes thoughtfully selected to complement the home's age. Subway tile extends all the way to the ceiling, while butcher-block countertops on the island, gold-tone fixtures, custom-built pantry doors and replaced appliances create a space that feels fresh without feeling out of place in a 1929 home. That same attention to detail carries into both renovated bathrooms. Rather than simply installing contemporary finishes, the owners intentionally selected materials and fixtures that reference the home's original era. One bath features classic subway tile, rich color, traditional-style fixtures and a beautiful stained-glass transom above the door. Even the new bathtub was specifically selected for its vintage-inspired design, complemented by warm brass fixtures and carefully chosen finishes. These are renovations designed to belong in this house—not erase its history. An enclosed former porch was also completely transformed into a functional mudroom and laundry room. The floors were leveled and the space rebuilt to create an entirely new everyday-use area. And the improvements go well beyond cosmetics. Within the past five years, the owners have replaced the HVAC system, added a mini-split upstairs, upgraded the electrical, encapsulated the crawl space, installed new lighting, added new decking and provided a generator connection—with the generator conveying. A standing-seam metal roof adds another substantial improvement. Outside may be every bit as special as the interior. New pathways wind through thoughtfully created gardens filled with both ornamental plantings and an impressive collection of established edibles, including strawberries, asparagus, apples, cherries, figs, peaches, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries, along with raised garden beds and more. Relax on the deck, gather around the firepit, work in the garden or simply enjoy this tucked-away setting beneath the trees. Conveniently located near downtown and Lake James, this isn't simply an older home that has been remodeled. It is a 1929 home that has been carefully brought forward while allowing the craftsmanship, warmth and personality of its past to remain. From the gardens and outdoor spaces to the smallest interior details, the work here has been researched, considered and completed with care. Come appreciate the labor of love that's already been poured into this home—and add your own chapter to its nearly 100-year story.

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Mountain Estate Bordering Pisgah National Forest Privacy. History. Adventure. Possibilities. This is the kind of property that rarely becomes available. Ride out your own gate. This 14-acre equestrian estate borders Pisgah National Forest on three sides, opening directly onto thousands of acres of protected trail. No trailer, no trailhead, no hauling out. Paxton Creek runs year-round through the property, audible from the screened porch. One hour from Tryon International Equestrian Center. The facility is built to work. A three-stall barn with grain and tack room and full hay loft with overhang. A riding arena for lunging, training, schooling or use as a dry lot. Three fenced and cross-fenced pastures with a run-in shelter, watered by a natural freshwater spring capable of serving the barn. A 30' x 30' workshop with side overhang handles equipment, hay or a second rig, with RV parking on a 50-amp hookup and a generator hookup for the property. The log residence is engineered for permanence: a 10-foot Superior Walls foundation, a heated and cooled semi-finished basement for tack, training or recreation space, a new 3-ton heat pump (2025) and a Hot Blast wood furnace ducted throughout. Wide porches, mountain and water views, and the quiet of a property at the end of a private road. Flexible by design. Keep it as a private equestrian estate. Run it as a working homestead — pastures, chicken coop, historic blacksmith shop and spring already in place. Or build: a prepared site along the historic Wagon Trail commands 360-degree views of Old Fort Mountain and the ranges beyond. Underground utilities, well, septic, no HOA, publicly maintained road access. Fourteen acres of privacy against a permanently protected boundary, an hour from world-class competition and forty minutes from Asheville.
