Significant price reduction! Set on 4.17 private, usable acres at approximately 3,000 feet in elevation, this distinctive Mountain Craftsman retreat offers the space, scenery and flexibility to create a western North Carolina mountain lifestyle. Elevated on a gentle knoll along the Eastern Continental Divide, the property enjoys long-range mountain and sunset views, cool breezes, southern exposure and peaceful sense of privacy, while remaining convenient to Flat Rock, Hendersonville, Saluda and Asheville. The custom main residence showcases soaring tongue-and-groove ceilings, exposed timber trusses, expansive windows, rich stonework and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling fireplace, with generous spaces for gathering, entertaining and everyday living. The upper-level primary suite is complemented by a seller-identified opportunity to create a main-level primary suite, with concept rendering available. A detached guest cabin with bedroom, full bath, kitchen, living area, covered porch and outdoor stone fireplace provides exceptional flexibility for visitors, extended stays, office or studio use, or potential 30-plus day rental income. An oversized detached RV garage/workshop adds another dimension, with room for recreational vehicles, boats, hobbies, collections, creative pursuits or substantial storage. Outdoors, expansive Trex decking, mature landscaping, stone walls, waterfall features and a fenced area take full advantage of the mountain setting. Just outside the gates of Pinnacle Falls, the property offers access to approximately 6.5 miles of hiking trails, seasonal pool, hot tub, sauna, fitness center and clubhouse at reduced HOA dues. For those seeking greater independence, the property may also have the opportunity, subject to community approval, to withdraw from the HOA, offering a rare choice between enjoying established community amenities or pursuing a more flexible mountain-property lifestyle with possibilities such as gardens, horses or solar. A whole-house generator, standing-seam metal roof, paved access, attached two-car garage and nearby Lake Summit recreation complete a property uniquely suited for a full-time residence, second home or long-term mountain retreat.
