About This Property

Nestled within the prestigious gates of Laurel Ridge, this estate offers a blend of mountain beauty and wooded privacy. Laurel Ridge is surrounded by thousands of acres of conservation land and protected watersheds, and this home serves as a private gallery for the region's abundant wildlife, all while being just minutes from the charm of downtown Black Mountain. This isn't just a home; it’s a fortress of quality construction. Built with insulated concrete form construction, the residence provides unparalleled energy efficiency, sound dampening, and structural longevity. The interior details reflect a commitment to high-end finishes with soaring fir vaulted ceilings and 9' ceilings throughout, gleaming hickory floors, and custom birch cabinetry. Robust systems include zoned HVAC, a whole-house generator, and two tankless water heaters ensure seamless living. The heart of the home is an expansive open-concept living area anchored by a gourmet kitchen, perfect for hosting against the backdrop of seasonal mountain views and the soothing sounds of Laurel Branch Creek. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a private study with a cozy fireplace, a spa-like bath equipped with a bidet, and a secluded screened deck for morning coffee among the trees. The walkout lower level is a game-changer for savvy buyers. It houses two independent apartments, each featuring private exterior entrances, ensuring total privacy for owners and guests. The dedicated parking guarantees no logistical headaches for tenants or family. These apartments are ideal for short-term rental income (permitted in Laurel Ridge), long-term tenants, or a dedicated multi-generational living setup. Situated on a private, mostly level lot, the property includes an incredible workshop and flex space for the hobbyist or craftsman. As part of the Laurel Ridge community, you’ll enjoy the peace of mind offered by a private water system, a community volunteer fire station, and the security of a beautiful gated entrance. Note on Accommodations: While the home boasts five spacious bedrooms and cedar-lined closets, the septic permit is officially rated for three bedrooms. Experience the perfect harmony of privacy, income potential, and "built-to-last" quality in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
