This custom log home sits on two lots totaling approximately 2 acres within the gated community of Moores Valley, offering the option to retain the extra lot for added privacy or future expansion with an additional homesite. As you arrive, a private waterfall feature welcomes you, setting the tone for the peaceful mountain retreat beyond. Inside, the light-filled interior showcases vaulted ceilings and gorgeous woodwork throughout. The gourmet kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring luxury materials and custom finishes including a large hammered copper sink, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and track lighting. The open floor plan flows effortlessly, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining—whether you’re taking in mountain views or enjoying the warmth and ambiance of the gas fireplace. The main level offers three bedrooms, providing comfortable and convenient one-level living. The fully finished basement adds exceptional flexibility and functionality, featuring two bonus rooms, a full bathroom, and a wet bar—perfect for entertaining, guest accommodations, or recreation space. Additional basement highlights include abundant storage, a dedicated utility room, and a workshop area, ideal for hobbies, projects, or organized mountain living. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with multiple spaces designed to enjoy the natural surroundings—rocking chairs on the deck, a porch swing, and a screened porch off the primary suite that provides a peaceful place to take in mountain views. Thoughtful details continue outdoors with landscaped grounds, rockscaping accents around the fire pit, and a convenient mudroom for everyday functionality. Start your mornings with coffee on the porch, unwind with peaceful sunsets, and breathe in the fresh mountain air. With its quiet setting, scenic views, and thoughtful design, this home is perfectly suited as a full-time residence or mountain retreat, capturing the essence of relaxed Western North Carolina living. Short-term rentals are permissible within the Moores Valley neighborhood.
