About This Property

Welcome to 174 Marina Cove, a one-of-a-kind Western North Carolina estate. Two residences offer approximately 3,700 combined square feet of indoor living space. A total area of 7.75 acres provides an abundance of natural beauty, wildlife, and seclusion. This property is a rare combination of a distinctive main residence, a generous guest cottage, a private pond with a covered waterside pavilion, and a powered workshop/shed. The main residence is an Energy Star Certified home built with premium exterior materials. It has cypress siding, extensive ipe/ironwood wraparound decking/railings, custom rock work on the foundation and retaining walls, and hardscaping for parking and outdoor dining. The interior brings more natural materials into the home, including several varieties of granite and marble, warm Asian merbau flooring, and more rock work on the two fireplaces. A culinary kitchen contains high-end appliances, ample built-in storage, and a deep pantry. The great room has a vaulted ceiling with a wall of windows overlooking a grand meadow. The master bedroom/bathroom suite includes a walk-in closet, a spa tub, and a separate shower. Downstairs you will find a game room, an office and media room, a ¾ bath, and a surprise luxury: a fully insulated steam room with a shower. A basement garage contains parking for two vehicles, workshop space, and abundant storage. The house is heated either by a 7-Zone hydronic floor system fed by a high-efficiency condensation boiler, or by a 2-Zone heat pump. The cooling is by the same 2-Zone heat pump. The foundation is R-38 Superior Walls. All exterior walls and roof are spray-foam-insulated. The 3BR/2BA guest cottage of approximately 1150 square feet offers a range of possibilities: a second residence, multi-generational living, a guest house, a home office, or additional recreational space. It is a contemporary cape built with local mountain details like wormy chestnut mill work and a rock wall fireplace. The house has an insulated crawl space with whole house dehumidification, electric on-demand hot water, and a computer network linked to the main house. Step outdoors onto the broad lawns and wooded surroundings for a sense of privacy and seclusion. Feel the morning breeze with your coffee on the decks, relax by the pond in the shaded pavilion or read on the sundeck. Gather with family and friends for dinner near the grill. Or plant and tend a large garden. If all this isn’t enough, there is room for further expansion. Come over and see 174 Marina Cove and allow enough time to explore all the possibilities this property has to offer. It will not be duplicated in the current market. Secluded setting, spacious land. Quality materials and craftsmanship. Modern technology and connectivity for work or play. This is more than a home. It is a North Carolina estate built for the way you want to live.
