This unique home in the gated Walnut Mountain Farm features stunning 360-degree views, four bedrooms, three baths and a bonus room. Surrounded by the Cherokee National Forest, watch the sunset from your covered back porch and soak in the hot tub under the stars. Inside, marvel at the two-story open floor plan with an enormous stone fireplace as windows and French doors bring the mountain beauty inside. The main floor boasts living and dining areas, a modern kitchen and breakfast area, a single full bath and two bedrooms with walk-in closets. The stairway leads to a lovely primary suite complete with a wood-burning stove, sitting area, walk-in closet and primary bath with large, elevated claw-foot tub. Downstairs, another great room awaits with a gas-log fireplace, large sitting area, pool table, dart board and storage lockers for ski, fishing or other gear. The floor has a fourth bedroom with a walk-in closet and a bunk room with closet that can sleep four or be used as an office. There is a bath and large laundry room. A laundry chute from each floor makes laundry an easy task. The downstairs opens to an underdeck area for parking and access to two outdoor storage areas. One storage area has two 10-foot rollup doors and an 8-foot access door, ideal for storing six all-terrain vehicles and bulky items. The second has an 8-foot door for storing lawn equipment and tools. The house's one-acre lot has a spring-fed stream with a small pond offering privacy and tranquility, but Lake Watauga and Appalachian Trail access are within five miles, and it's just 30-miles to nearby ski resorts. Walnut Mountain Farm has 135-common use acres with hiking trails, stream access, potential garden areas, and a pistol and rifle shooting range. Most of the farm acres are in conservancy to minimize taxes and future developments. The house is fully furnished and walk-in ready. Off-road vehicles do not convey. Priced below appraisal.
