Crafted for those who appreciate exceptional quality and timeless mountain design, this custom-built retreat offers over 3,000 square feet of beautifully appointed living space on 3.93 private acres in the gated community of Lakeview Heights. Located just five minutes from downtown Hayesville, this remarkable home combines the privacy of a mountain escape with the convenience of everyday living. From the moment you arrive, the craftsmanship is undeniable. The welcoming timber-framed entrance, stacked stone accents, and expansive wraparound decks create a striking first impression. Inside, soaring tongue-and-groove ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stacked stone fireplace anchor an open living space designed for both quiet evenings and effortless entertaining. Walls of windows flood the home with natural light while framing the peaceful wooded surroundings. The kitchen was designed for people who love to cook as much as they love to gather. Custom cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas range with pot filler, designer tile backsplash, abundant workspace, and a spacious island create a kitchen that's as functional as it is beautiful. The main-level primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a private fireplace, direct access to the covered deck, and an impressive spa-inspired bath complete with a whirlpool tub, luxury steam and rain shower, dual vanities, and generous closet space. A second oversized bedroom suite on the main level offers exceptional comfort and privacy for family or guests. Downstairs, the fully finished walk-out level functions almost as a home of its own. Complete with a private entrance, dedicated parking, full kitchen, spacious family room, two additional bedrooms, workshop, and abundant storage, it provides outstanding flexibility for multigenerational living, long-term guests, or anyone wanting separate living quarters while remaining under one roof. Outdoor living is every bit as impressive. Covered decks span both levels of the home, providing multiple places to enjoy morning coffee, entertain friends, or simply unwind while overlooking nearly four acres of wooded privacy. During the winter months, mountain views emerge through the trees, with the opportunity to create even more expansive long-range views through selective trimming. Thoughtful upgrades continue throughout the home with fiber optic internet, dual HVAC systems, tankless water heater, whole-home security system, nine-camera monitoring system, surround sound wiring, generator hookup, automated exterior lighting, and numerous smart-home features that can be controlled remotely. Located in the peaceful gated community of Lakeview Heights, where short-term rentals are not permitted, this home offers the tranquility of a true residential mountain neighborhood while remaining just minutes from downtown Hayesville, Lake Chatuge, golf, hiking, boating, restaurants, and all the outdoor recreation the North Carolina mountains are known for. Some homes are built to impress. Others are built to be lived in. This home accomplishes both, offering the craftsmanship, comfort, and flexibility to create memories for years to come.
