Rifugio DI Montagna Elevato Con Vista Mozzafiato Sul Campo Da Golf

Perched above Tom Fazio’s signature 13th hole, 161 Chattooga Run captures the essence of mountain golf course living within Champion Hills, Hendersonville’s premier golf community. Thoughtfully crafted by respected builder Mike McDermott and later enhanced by renowned builder Paul Taylor, this home blends timeless craftsmanship with inviting spaces designed for gathering, relaxation, and enjoying the beauty of Western North Carolina. From the moment you arrive, the setting feels special. Tucked into a private homesite with stair-step views overlooking holes #13 and portions of #12, the property offers a rare sense of seclusion with no neighboring homes in sight. Lush landscaping, layered outdoor living areas, and the peaceful sound of water create a true mountain retreat atmosphere.

At the heart of the home, the great room opens effortlessly onto the rear patio where summer dinner parties, evening cocktails, and quiet mornings become part of everyday life. A double-sided fireplace adds warmth and ambiance both indoors and out, while the adjacent side deck overlooks one of the property’s most captivating features: a stunning approximately 37-foot waterfall designed by Water Dance, featuring 12 individual cascades that blend naturally into the landscape.

The kitchen and dining spaces are warm, functional, and rich with custom details, including thoughtfully designed built-ins and elegant pullout serving boards that add charm and practicality. Just beyond, the temperature-controlled sunroom, an addition completed in 2016, provides the perfect setting for morning coffee, reading, birdwatching, or catching up with friends while surrounded by natural light and tranquil views.

The 2016 addition by Paul Taylor also transformed the detached garage into an attached garage through an enclosed breezeway and created a spacious suite above the garage complete with a full bath, closet, and storage. Whether used as a guest suite, office, media room, or private retreat, the flexibility enhances the home’s livability.

Designed for entertaining and relaxed mountain living, the lower level offers inviting spaces for game nights, wine tastings, and gatherings around the custom wine cellar with its beautifully arched handcrafted door. Guest suites, walkout access to the outdoors, and a golf cart garage complete this exceptional mountain retreat.

With 3.5 bedrooms depending on lifestyle needs, exceptional privacy, curated outdoor living, and direct connection to Champion Hills’ celebrated golf course lifestyle, 161 Chattooga Run offers a rare opportunity to enjoy mountain living in comfort, elegance, and style just minutes from Hendersonville’s charming downtown, dining, shopping, hiking, and cultural attractions.
