2 Bedroom House in Old Fort
Tucked within the woodlands on Gateway Mountain's private 3,000-acre nature preserve, this gorgeous and completely custom Timber Frame home seamlessly integrates country charm with modern convenience in its decor and amenities. After walking along the bridge entrance into the home, you'll be greeted by the high vaulted ceilings, spacious open floor plan, and unobstructed view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Gather around the stone, floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace to watch your favorite movies on the smart TV complete with a sleek soundbar that delivers high-quality surround sound to enhance your screening experience. Listen to music on the iHome charging deck while crafting a delicious meal for your family and friends in the fully-stocked kitchen that boasts a variety of streamlined utensils including a smooth surface stove, immersion blender, instapot, and coffee makers (Keurig and Standard Drip), just to name a few.
During the warmer months, take advantage of the sunshine and gas grill to create some savory seasonal favorites that you can enjoy on the covered back deck with the refreshing mountain breeze and breathtaking views. After dinner, unwind and relax in the 6-person hot tub with a glass of wine or stargaze (with s'mores) around the newly-added outdoor fire pit. Each morning watch the sun rise over the mountains while sipping your coffee before exploring the community waterfall and creek, hiking with your dog, using the guest mountain bikes and helmets to traverse nearby rugged trails, playing a round of ping pong or pool in the garage, or trying your hand at cornhole. Just 30 minutes from the shops, restaurants, and activities in Black Mountain and 45 minutes from downtown Asheville, this delightful, secluded paradise has something for everyone and is the perfect place for a relaxing couples' weekend getaway, an annual family vacation, or a get-together with your closest friends.
