This stunning enclave presides over 14 acres of mountain land at an elevation of 4,160 feet and is perfect for a nature enthusiast seeking privacy and luxury. The property shares almost 2,000 feet of common boundary with Panthertown Valley—a treasured 6,311-acre backcountry recreation area featuring pristine streams and over 30 miles of trails within the Nantahala National Forest. This Divide at Bald Rock community home is accessed via a long private driveway marked by lighted stone pillars and a gated entry. Arriving at the home one passes trails, large mossy boulders and a stream fed pond created by a sloping native rock outcropping. Constructed with rustic yet elegant materials both inside and out, the main house features beautiful antique pine and native stone floors, wormy chestnut cabinets, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace in the great room and primary bedroom, and vaulted ceilings. Upon entering, the home immediately draws one toward the expansive southeast mountain view, visible from all major rooms. The common areas—including the great room, keeping room, kitchen, and den—are exceptionally spacious. The great room opens onto screened and open porches, all taking in the majesty of nature along with incredible views. A large stone terrace with outdoor fireplace is accessed from the gallery and the den, and is inside the large fenced area. The primary bedroom is on the main level and includes a stone gas log fireplace and a bathroom featuring stone floors, a stone-encased soaking tub, and shower. Above the primary bedroom, a large vaulted room has built-in cabinetry the length of the room. This space is ideal for home office, artist studio or exercise room. The upper level situated on the opposite side of the home features two sizable guest bedrooms, both with lovely views and a shared bathroom. Comfortable year 'round living is provided to the main house by a large generator. The naturally landscaped setting provides beautiful vignettes for wandering and relaxation. The property also includes a separate two-bedroom, two bath guest house with a small kitchen, situated far enough from the main house to ensure privacy for both residences. A large, freestanding two-bay garage offers ample natural daylight and workshop space. An adjoining lot is included with this purchase, creating an opportunity for a second guest house or additional development.
