A rare High Country mountain retreat with river views and approximately 215 feet of river frontage, expansive covered outdoor living, and exceptional flexibility. This mountain contemporary home blends Craftsman and chalet-inspired details with a private wooded setting, warm wood finishes, vaulted living spaces, hardwood floors, and abundant natural light. The open living and dining areas feature soaring ceilings, exposed beams, triangular upper windows, and views into the surrounding woods. Distinctive wormy chestnut handrail and stair details add a rare and authentic Appalachian touch. The kitchen offers custom wood cabinetry, granite counters, tile flooring, black appliances, and a copper farmhouse-style sink. The covered porch creates an inviting extension of the home, offering space to relax, dine, and enjoy the peaceful mountain setting with a view corridor toward the river below. The primary suite includes warm wood details and a spacious bath with double vanity, granite counters, tile flooring, and a large walk-in shower. The detached three garage / carriage house is a standout feature, offering garage space below and unfinished living space above. Cabinet lowers are installed in the single garage side. Flooring and additional materials are already on site. Subject to buyer verification, permitting, and approvals, the carriage house may offer potential for guest quarters, office, studio space, or possible conversion to a two car garage home. A distinctive property with privacy, river-view appeal, strong outdoor living, rare regional wood details, and meaningful future-use potential.
