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. Arrival signals what is ahead. A private ornamental entrance gate and iron fencing frame vibrant gardens and an immaculate approach. 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 timber frame entry with copper arch leads to an ideally sized great room with floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace crafted from hand-stacked quarried Tennessee stone. Sun Mountain knotty alder doors appear throughout, alongside barnwood floors, custom drapery, powered blinds and custom mirrors. The level of finish here is consistent and it is intentional. Gazing through sun speckled windows to the view beyond the home appears to rest among the clouds. The main residence offers three en-suite bedrooms and 3.5 baths, plus two bonus rooms used as library and office. The kitchen is appointed with Thermador appliances, and the baths are finished in Moroccan and Peruvian tile. A floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace anchors the main living space, and a second matching fireplace anchors the screened outdoor deck just beyond it, bringing the same warmth and drama outside. Open decks across multiple elevations pull the views in from every direction. The primary suite is a world of its own with steam shower, soaking tub, double vanities and dual walk-in closets. This is the kind of suite that encourages you to linger, sunrise from bed, no apologies. Downstairs, the lower level houses two guest suites, a private lounge area with gas fireplace, a sauna and an expansive wellness porch for an outdoor Peloton ride or evening soak in the hot tub, with a private picnic spot just a stone's step away, all of it framed by the same enduring panorama that defines this property. The guest house is a second residence in every meaningful sense. One bedroom, one full bath, a kitchenette, laundry and a dedicated garage are all positioned to share the same remarkable view, with no steps throughout! For multi-generational living, extended family or long-term guests, it is a rare thing to find. 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. While the home benefits from city water, a private well provides additional options for efficiency and flexibility. Hop in your golf cart and ride to Lake Junaluska in minutes to enjoy seasonal events, lakeside walking trails, golf and water sports. Historic downtown Waynesville is just beyond, with exceptional dining, galleries and independent boutiques. Asheville is within comfortable reach for additional shopping, activities and air travel.
