Exquisite Mountain Retreat in Balsam Mountain Preserve
Set at an impressive 4,700 feet of elevation within the prestigious, gated enclave of Balsam Mountain Preserve, this 4-bedroom residence blends timeless design with modern luxuries, offering cooler summers and crisp mountain breezes. Recently renovated with high-end finishes, smart lighting control throughout, and all systems upgraded since 2022, the home balances sophistication, comfort, and modern efficiency in every detail.
The interiors unfold with two gracious living areas, a bespoke bourbon room, and four stately stone fireplaces that anchor the home with warmth and character. Throughout the residence, you’ll find rare 200-year-old reclaimed wormy chestnut floors, beams, and stairs—a remarkable detail that infuses the home with history, warmth, and an authenticity impossible to replicate. Each of the four spacious bedrooms feature a private ensuite bath, ensuring comfort and privacy for both family and guests. The guest suite with its own living area provides an additional level of retreat and independence.
A spacious three-car garage with abundant storage accommodates vehicles and mountain adventure gear with ease, while a dedicated woodworking shop on the lower level beneath the garage offers a purpose-built creative space.
Outdoors, an expansive entertaining deck showcases sweeping easterly and westerly mountain views, allowing residents to enjoy both breathtaking sunrises and unforgettable sunsets. The property also offers easy access to a fenced-in dog area, making it as practical as it is luxurious for four-legged family members.
This extraordinary property is more than a home—it is a sanctuary, an experience, and an invitation to live surrounded by elegance, adventure, and the enduring majesty of the mountains.
Residents of Balsam Mountain Preserve enjoy world-class amenities, including an Arnold Palmer Signature golf course, tennis facilities, clubhouse, pool, and over 40 miles of private hiking, biking, and equestrian trails. Here, conservation and community are woven together, creating a lifestyle where natural beauty and modern comfort exist in perfect harmony.
