Some homes check the boxes. This one will change your life. Go through the door and the wall of windows finds you immediately. The Blue Ridge unfolds in long, layered vistas across every season, and the open-concept main level is oriented around that view the way every good room should be, light pouring in, the mountains always present, the whole space feeling larger and quieter than its square footage suggests. Bright without being stark. Elegant without being heavy. Custom quality is evident in every finish, every proportion, every detail. The floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the great room with the kind of presence that only natural materials and genuine craftsmanship can produce. It grounds the space without overwhelming it, and on a cool mountain evening with the ranges laid out beyond the glass, there is simply nowhere else you would rather be. Main-level living here is genuinely effortless. The primary suite, living, dining and kitchen all flow on one floor, ideally scaled for the buyer who has decided right-sizing should never mean giving up anything. The kitchen earns its place in that equation, appointed with custom cabinetry, marble countertops and a generously sized pantry tucked discreetly out of sightline. Upstairs, two well-appointed guest bedrooms and a full bath offer comfortable, private space for family or visitors, along with a large dedicated storage closet. One guest room functions as an office with a view, featuring a built-in Murphy bed for versatility. Then you go outside, and the home reveals its full hand. The covered porch with its wood-burning fireplace is an extension of the living room in every sense, the same commanding view corridor now open to the sky, the air and sound of the ridge. As the light shifts across the ranges through the day and into evening, this is where you will find yourself. Beyond the porch, a dedicated fire pit terrace offers its equally spectacular views, a natural gathering place where the mountains feel close enough to reach. Three distinct fireplace experiences across the indoor and outdoor spaces, each one oriented toward one of the compelling view corridors in Haywood County, and each one earning its place in a different way depending on season, mood and the hour. The primary suite opens privately to a dedicated hot tub area, a quiet luxury that transitions from amenity to daily ritual the moment you arrive. Enjoy your morning coffee with the mist lying still in the valleys and light cresting above the ridges. Sit back and relax in the evening under a sky full of stars. This home was designed to be lived in fully, and the outdoor spaces make that case as convincingly as anything inside. The attached two-car garage connects via a covered breezeway, offering maximum curb appeal and ample storage. Beautiful hardscaping and intentionally chosen landscaping offer year-round color and beauty at every turn. City water and AT&T fiber internet offer convenience and versatility. Go in your golf cart and ride to Lake Junaluska in minutes to enjoy seasonal events, amazing recreational trails, golf and water sports. Historic downtown Waynesville and the region's finest trailheads are mere minutes away, while Asheville's vibrant dining and arts scene await only 30 minutes down the road. Avalon is Waynesville's desired gated mountaintop community, a 400-plus-acre luxury enclave renowned for its privacy, mature hardwoods, walking trails and timber frame pavilion, where custom homes of this caliber routinely trade well above $2 million. This one is a rare exception, in like-new condition, at a price point this address seldom sees. In Western North Carolina, unicorns are rare. This is one of them. Home is being sold with most furniture. List of included furnishings available upon request.

From every vantage point, the view says everything. Mount Pisgah, Ratcliff Mountain and Cold Mountain frame the horizon in an ever-changing yet unobstructed, year-round panorama that defines the character of this meticulously maintained mountain retreat. No matter the season, no matter the hour, that view is there, unhurried, unspoiled and seemingly yours alone. Inside, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with gas logs anchors the two-story great room, setting the tone for a home that is as inviting as the landscape surrounding it. The scale of the space is impressive without sacrificing warmth where soaring ceilings, natural light, and thoughtful finishes combine to create a gathering place that feels rand and deeply comfortable. The main level offers easy, intuitive living with everything you need on one floor, including a well-appointed kitchen featuring custom cabinetry and upgraded appliances, a dedicated main-level laundry room, dining area, powder room, and a full primary suite with private deck access and spacious bath. Waking up to that view from your bedroom is not a detail to overlook. Upstairs, well-appointed guest bedrooms capture equally compelling mountain views, and a sizeable loft provides additional living space, ideal as a reading retreat, home office or casual lounge. A full bath completes the upper level. The lower level is a destination of its own. A private bar and kitchenette anchor a dedicated entertainment space with surround sound designed with gathering in mind. Two bonus rooms, configured as sleeping quarters, add meaningful capacity for hosting guests, extended family or rental occupants. A full bath serves the level, and the transition to the outdoors is seamless. Go through to the lower deck and gather around a fully plumbed gas fire pit on a crisp mountain evening, where conversation comes easily and the ridge line holds the last of the light. The elevation here is ideal with four full seasons, genuinely experienced. Subtle snowfall in winter settles across the ridges with the kind of stillness that reminds you why you sought the mountains in the first place. Autumn delivers color in every direction, the kind of display that draws visitors from across the country. Summers are cool enough that air conditioning remains largely an afterthought, and spring brings the mountains to life with beauty all their own. High-speed internet makes this an effortless full-time or part-time work-from-home option, with those mountain views as your daily backdrop. Offered fully furnished and turnkey with high-quality furniture, art and accessories throughout, this retreat is ready to enjoy from the moment you arrive. No waiting, no staging, no sourcing, simply arrive and settle in. Short-term rentals are permitted, making the property equally compelling as a personal mountain escape or a well-positioned income-producing asset in one of WNC's sought-after resort corridors. The Creekstone community delivers the rare combination of gated privacy, easy paved access and genuine lifestyle appeal. A community creekside park adds to the everyday appeal, offering a natural gathering space near your door. Beyond the gates, the location is exceptional by any measure. The Cataloochee Divide Trail provides direct access to the Great Smoky Mountains, one of the celebrated national parks in the U.S., a trail system that offers everything from casual ridge walks to backcountry immersion, with elk, old-growth forest and sweeping views. Cataloochee Ski Area sits just a couple of miles away. The Swag, one of WNC's acclaimed mountain resorts and a perennial favorite, is a short drive and well worth a dinner reservation, a day excursion or simply the comfort of knowing it is nearby. Historic Waynesville is only a 15-minute drive and Asheville is just over 30 minutes away. Some places make you want to visit. This one makes you want to stay and the longer you are here, the more that feeling grows.

Historic provenance, income potential and genuine hosting capacity in a single offering. Original pine floors worn smooth by nearly a century of living, charming brick fireplaces, intricate millwork, period tilework, French doors that spill light across every room, a grand staircase that commands the entry and a stone wall stretching through the entry that feels as though it grew from the mountain itself, the historic details here are not decorative gestures. They are the architecture. Newly installed gardens featuring fruit trees, berry plantings and ample hydrangea deepen the sense of arrival, while covered porches and porte-cochere extend the living space outward into the landscape and the long mountain views beyond. With thoughtful updates for modern living without sacrificing an ounce of character. Visit downtown Waynesville. Ski Cataloochee. Paddle Lake Junaluska.
