Located in the Blue Ridge mountains of western NC, this big view home was built in 2014 by one of the areas leading builders, Fern Creek Builders. This home has been lovingly maintained by the original owners and now is the time to make it your own. Home features 3 bedrooms each with their own ensuite baths. Situated on over 18 acres only 20 minutes from the village of Cashiers, this property is an outdoor lover's paradise. There are trails leading throughout the property and basic equestrian facilities are already in place. The property is in the gated community of Laurel Falls just a short distance to the communities private entrance to Panthertown Valley, a 6,300 acre USFS Wilderness Area with miles of trails for horseback riding, biking and hiking. The lower portion of this property actually adjoins USFS land and the majority of the long-range mountain view looks out over Panthertown. The full length rear covered porch has a stone faced, wood burning fireplace and unique glass panels that insulate the porch in cool weather and then all fold together to the sides to open up the porch in good weather; it's really an amazing system. The great room features ship-lap wood walls and ceilings and a floor to ceiling stone faced fireplace. The kitchen is nicely appointed and includes a farmhouse sink, beverage fridge and ice maker. The southerly mountain view has both short-range and long-range elements including Big Green Mountain. There is also very good cell reception at this location. Extras include a paved driveway with ample parking, an automatic stand by generator, alarm system and a standing seam metal roof.
