About this property

A Warm Contemporary Retreat with Expansive Mountain Views From the moment you step inside, this exceptional custom home draws you in with a sense of openness and serenity. Soaring ceilings, dramatic exposed beams, walls of glass and expansive mountain views of the foothills, with the Smoky Mountains beyond, create a remarkable connection to the landscape, with natural light and breathtaking vistas from nearly every room. Designed as a warm contemporary retreat by local architect Jeff Fletcher, in close collaboration with its artist and engineer owners, the home is as thoughtfully composed as it is inviting. A circular drive leads to the welcoming front entry, where the open living and dining spaces immediately showcase the home's dramatic scale. To the right, the private primary suite includes a generous walk-in closet, primary bath with custom handcrafted vanity sinks, a walk-in shower, water closet, and abundant natural light from skylights. A cozy office is conveniently located just off the living room. The main level continues down the hall to a second bedroom and spa-like bath with a jetted tub, a separate laundry room, and direct access to the garage. The kitchen, featuring a built-in desk, light-filled breakfast area, and access to a screened-in-porch flows naturally into the dining and living spaces, creating an easy layout for both everyday living and entertaining. Built-in cabinetry in the main spaces creates continuity as well as ample storage and display space throughout the home. A custom wood staircase rises to the upper level, where a third bedroom with an en-suite bath is joined by a lofted family room. Built-in shelving and a charming window seat make this space especially inviting, while expansive windows frame spectacular views. The finished basement provides bonus space with a half bath and built-in millwork designed for an office but easily adapted to a generous media wall. Reclaimed wood from a barn originally on the property was used for wainscoting and bathroom vanity. This flexible space opens onto a large patio with expansive views complemented by the trickling sound of the water feature. Further down the property, you'll find a large, multi-use workshop with floor-to-ceiling shelving, a utility bath and roll-up garage door, along with a metal shed and carport overlooking the 12-plus acres of usable pasture suitable for livestock with a year-round flowing creek.
