Some places ask nothing of you but your presence. This is one of those places. Tucked into 21 private acres along one of the area's beautiful and quietly kept corridors, this 2014 Jade Mountain home sits where the Crabtree valley folds into the edge of the Great Smokies, with long-range mountain views, a living stream with waterfalls and a stillness that settles over you the moment you arrive. The home itself was built with a reverent relationship to the land it occupies. Locust, black walnut and slippery elm harvested directly from the property move through the structure as posts, ceilings, staircases, cabinetry and trim, giving every room warmth and specificity that cannot be manufactured or sourced from a catalog. These are not accent pieces. They are the bones of the home, and they carry the particular beauty of wood that was standing on this hillside before the first shovel broke ground. The loft draws the eye upward into those same timbers, the staircase rises through them, and the kitchen cabinets carry the same quiet continuity throughout. Stained glass doors, interior trim, decking, and railings all speak the same material language, grounded, organic and unmistakably of this place. Light fills the open interior generously, moving through the home the way it moves through a well-placed window in late afternoon, warm, directional and alive. Low-VOC finishes throughout mean the interior environment is as clean and considered as the land surrounding it, the kind of air quality that registers not as a feature but as a feeling, one you notice clearly the first time you take a deep breath and realize how rarely you do that indoors. Outside, the land produces abundantly. A thriving orchard yields Asian pears, persimmons, pawpaws, blueberries, Juneberries, grapes, mulberry and more across seasons. Organic biodynamic raised beds and a dedicated greenhouse extend the growing season and the possibilities well beyond what the calendar might suggest. No pressure-treated lumber touches the garden, and locust and cypress frame the beds just as they frame the home. The 21 acres themselves are a layered habitat, creek hollows sheltering ramps, medicinals and mushrooms, open hillsides running with blackberries and raspberries in summer, ridgelines opening to Smoky Mountain views that shift with every season and every hour. Running through it all, a mountain stream with waterfalls, the kind of constant, living sound that becomes part of your daily rhythm. The infrastructure beneath all of this is equally intentional. The well taps into cool, cold mountain water that tested pristine across every primary and secondary EPA metal. Energy independence is not a goal here but a delivered reality as a 3.95-kilowatt solar array of 10 Tesla panels feeds two Tesla Powerwalls providing 27kWh of battery storage. The home carries a certified HERS Index of 59 before the solar contribution is even factored in, supported by two high-efficiency Mitsubishi mini-split heat pumps, passive solar orientation and a continuous fresh air ventilation system. All boulders on the property were sourced on site. The exterior trim is cypress, finished with a natural penetrating stain that never needs to be redone. Every detail, visible and invisible, reflects the same commitment to doing things properly and doing them once. Additional build sites on the property offer future possibilities for those who want to grow into the land over time. Waynesville, with its award-winning restaurants, galleries and vibrant small-city culture, is just a few miles away. Asheville is a comfortable 30-minute drive. But with waterfalls, endless views, sustainable harvest and a home that has been designed from the ground up to give back as much as it takes, the pull outward is easy to resist. This is rare. A property with genuine spirit, built by people who understood exactly what they were doing and why. For the buyer who has been searching for something that feels alive, welcome home.

There is a version of mountain living everyone pictures before they start looking. Long views that hold all year. A house that lives easy on one floor. Room for everyone who wants to visit and a drive home you never think twice about. It usually takes a few showings to learn how rarely those things arrive together. They do here. The view is the reason you stop the car. Ridgeline after ridgeline running out toward historic Main Street Waynesville, and because the owners cleared for it deliberately, it stays that way in February and again in July when the trees shine green. The elevation is real, the air up here proves it in August, and the drive to reach it is the easy kind. Maggie Valley Country Club sits moments below, and Lake Junaluska and downtown Waynesville are only a quick drive when you want a little extra charm and adventure. Inside, the living room, dining and kitchen open to each other and to that view, through windows and glass doors onto a covered porch running more than 40 feet across the back of the house. Sit on that porch for 10 minutes and the quiet is the thing you will remember on the drive home. The home has been dramatically renovated and that renovation was built around what you see from the windows, right down to the palette, blues and creams that pick up the ridges and the clouds behind them. A floor-to-ceiling gas fireplace anchors the living room, the kitchen shines anew with updated cabinetry, new appliances, new granite and a breakfast bar for people to lounge at while you cook. The dining room flows effortlessly between the two for easy entertaining. Three bedrooms on the main floor is the part experienced buyers have to see to believe, and they are split to opposite ends, so the house sleeps a full crowd with everyone keeping their quiet. The primary is large enough to live in rather than just sleep in, with a walk-in closet, the laundry nearby, and a bath rebuilt into dual vanities, a walk-in shower and a freestanding soaking tub with a view. Downstairs was taken to the studs and rebuilt with intention, giving guests a floor of their own with an en-suite bedroom, full bath and a recreation room long enough for a pool table, gym, lounge or all three. Then there is the work you feel rather than photograph. A complete HVAC overhaul and a whole-home Generac generator, new roof, new flooring, new lighting, fresh paint on every surface inside and out, five new windows downstairs and more. Upper and lower driveways mean you never back down a mountain to leave, and the garage holds two vehicles, an EV charger and everything else that comes up here with you. The yard rolls gently rather than dropping off the way it usually does at this elevation, and the house is on city water and city sewer with no HOA dues. Everything that usually waits for the next owner has been done here. All that is left is deciding which chair on the deck is yours.

Architectural artistry and refined mountain living come together above the most scenic green at Laurel Ridge Country Club. Positioned over the 11th tee with panoramic mountain, golf-course, and valley views, this contemporary residence offers one of the most striking vantage points in Waynesville. Originally inspired by the Frank Lloyd Wright style, the home was re-envisioned in 2008 to honor clean lines, natural materials, and seamless connection to the outdoors while adding modern comfort and function. Walls of glass pull the landscape inward, filling the great room with natural light and framing the Blue Ridge like living art. A soaring ceiling, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and striking architectural details create a space that feels both dramatic and deeply welcoming. Just beyond, a wide wrap-around veranda spans the length of the home—an unforgettable outdoor living environment for sunset dinners, weekend entertaining, and quiet mornings overlooking the fairway and long-range ridgelines. Designed for effortless main-level living, the primary suite provides a peaceful retreat with an adjoining bonus room currently used as a home gym. This space adapts beautifully as a private office, sitting room, Hollywood-style dressing room, or the footprint for a second spa-like bath. The kitchen is supported by both a butler's pantry and a separate walk-in pantry, ideal for everyday life and elevated entertaining. A distinct everyday entrance and separate guest entrance add sophistication to the home's sense of arrival. The upper level functions as a private guest wing with a second primary suite, a large loft, an office, and another ensuite guest room—perfect for extended stays and hosting with ease. Fully zoned HVAC, ample basement storage, an oversized two-car garage, a brick-paver driveway, and extensive exterior lighting reflect thoughtful planning inside and out. All of this awaits just minutes from historic downtown Waynesville, known for boutique shops, fine dining, galleries, and year-round festivals—and only about 30 minutes from Asheville, a nationally regarded destination for arts, culture, and acclaimed restaurants. A rare opportunity to own a luxury residence with sweeping mountain and golf-course views, timeless architecture, and one of the most inviting outdoor living spaces in Western North Carolina.

This isn't your average mountain home, and it's not trying to be. Tucked inside the gated Villages of Plott Creek on just under 1.5 usable acres, this elegant three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath mountain retreat has been dramatically transformed, and it shows the moment you enter. It starts underfoot, where hand-scraped hardwood carries warmth and quiet through every room and into a kitchen built around a new oversized island, granite countertops, and a new built-in bar with custom cabinetry. This is a kitchen that makes you want to cook and gather, where people stay long after dinner to take in the view and enjoy the warmth of good company. From here, the home opens in two directions. Just off the back of the kitchen, a screened-in porch with its wood-burning fireplace and a covered outdoor cooking area creates a natural extension of the gathering space throughout the seasons. Inside, the kitchen opens directly into the great room, the architectural heart of the home. Vaulted ceilings give the great room an immediate sense of scale, while year-round mountain views remain a constant presence. At its center, a dramatic two-sided stone fireplace creates a striking connection between the great room and the primary suite beyond. On the opposite side of the fireplace, the primary suite sits beneath its vaulted ceiling, with a custom window bench made for reading and taking in the view. The bath has been reworked with new countertops, updated cabinetry, heated floors and a heated towel bar. That same attention carries throughout the rest of the home, from fresh paint in every room to new lighting throughout, along with the improvements you won't see in a photograph but will appreciate in every season: a whole-home generator that keeps everything warm and running in all weather. The home also includes a spacious attached two-car garage with ample storage. Above it, a fully finished bonus room provides flexible space not included in the heated square footage. The message is clear: this was never merely a cosmetic refresh. Separate from the home, a detached, heated workshop gives projects, tools and hobbies a dedicated place of their own year-round. Outside, the yard is now fully fenced, with a dog run in the back and landscaping that finally frames what was always there. Decks sweep the entire length of the home, opening to year-round views. The terraced lawn steps down through stone retaining walls to a parklike green space and firepit patio below. A mountain stream runs next door, allowing the sound of falling water to follow you around the property. Short- and long-range mountain views embrace the home in an ever-changing landscape. Peace and quiet on demand. Downtown Waynesville is only minutes away when you want fine dining, breweries, shopping, theater and more. But honestly? You may not want to leave, and no one would blame you. Masterfully updated. Mountain-tested. Completely elevated.

There is a place above Lake Junaluska that changes the standard for everything below it. The air is crisp, the details immaculate and the horizon endless. This is that place. This is that home. The view corridor toward Crabtree Bald is unobstructed. Sunrise arrives here first over layered mountains seeming to rise in the distance. Sunset lingers longest framing the home in a golden silhouette. This is not a view you grow accustomed to. It is one you become a part of and one you instantly belong to.

A stunning paver driveway and stone steps lead to a labyrinth pathway winding through more than 250 varieties of perennial and annual flowers, anchored by a jaw-dropping waterfall feature. The landscaping here was designed with the same intention as every room inside, to perfection. The foyer opens beneath a Bohemian crystal chandelier glimmering in the sunlight.

A whole-house generator, a 500-gallon water tank with filtration system and a custom garage organization system with protective flooring reflect the standard to which this property has been maintained throughout.
