Some homes are built. Others are lovingly cultivated over time. Nestled on 3.5 private acres within a peaceful enclave of just twenty-four homes, this custom 1.5-story residence with F.R.O.G. offers a rare blend of privacy, timeless craftsmanship, and the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge foothills. Lovingly maintained by its original owner since its completion in 1998, every space reflects thoughtful design and exceptional care. From the deep, welcoming brick-floored front porch spanning the width of the home to the hand-selected stone fireplace that anchors the living room, this is a home designed as much for quiet mornings as it is for memorable gatherings. Rich random-width ash hardwood floors, custom cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, a gourmet kitchen, walk-in pantry, built-in office, formal dining room, and a spacious main-level primary suite combine timeless elegance with everyday comfort. Thoughtfully designed for both today’s living and tomorrow’s possibilities, the versatile floor plan offers exceptional flexibility. The main level provides true ease of living with the primary suite, a second bedroom, and two additional full bathrooms, creating comfort and privacy all on one floor. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom and are complemented by a cozy gathering area in the hallway—an ideal space for reading, study, or quiet retreat. A cedar-lined walk-in closet adds a distinctive touch of craftsmanship and care. Additionally, over the garage is a spacious, finished living space with oak floors and pine ceilings. Whether accommodating guests, supporting multigenerational living, creating dedicated office or hobby spaces, or simply adapting as needs change over time, this home offers a layout that evolves with its first next owner. Wide doorways throughout the main level further enhance accessibility while preserving the home's refined architectural character. Outside, discover more of what truly sets this property apart. Nearly three decades of thoughtful stewardship have transformed the landscape into a living garden that offers beauty in every season. Heritage camellias, native flowering perennials, hydrangea, mature vitex trees lining the circular drive, and productive blueberry bushes create an ever-changing backdrop for butterflies, songbirds, and generations of hummingbirds that faithfully return each spring. This is not landscaping that can be purchased—it is a landscape that has been patiently cultivated. Located just minutes from Lake James and within easy reach of the Blue Ridge Parkway, Pisgah National Forest, downtown Morganton, Asheville, and Charlotte, this home offers the rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful country living without sacrificing convenience.
