VIEW!VIEW! VIEW! You have a rare opportunity to own a beautifully renovated home, privately situated on 5.3 acres, with one of the best views in Big Canoe! Panoramic views of Lake Petit and the mountains provide the backdrop for soaring eagles and magnificent sunsets. In 2020, the entire house was renovated converting it from a rustic cabin to an elegant home with hardwood floors throughout. The new kitchen with soapstone counters, SS appliances is a chef's dream and the renovated bathrooms have glass enclosed showers and new vanities. The fabulous master bedroom retreat boasts a fireplace in the bathroom with a jetted soaking tub, his and hers vanities, designer closets and a washer/dryer. A sunroom which runs the length of the house and has 180 degree mountain views is a favorite of both family and guests making it central for entertaining. An all season room with a hot tub and fireplace is the perfect spot to lose the stress of the day. The Terrace level offers three bedrooms which adjoin a large covered porch with sunset views. Extensive landscaping thrives and there is a greenhouse for wintering plants and fencing for the family pets. The 2 car garage with a sink and counters has insulated storage overhead. It is time to come home to the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Big Canoe for the true mountain experience. ***A $2500 Buyer paid Capital Improvement Contribution will be due at closing.

Zoning
RPC
Residential Planned Community District
The residential planned community district is a parcel of land developed with a variety of land uses which may vary from strict application of minimum standards in other land use classifications with the purpose of encouraging the development of large tracts of land as planned communities; encourage flexible and creative concepts in site planning; preserve the natural environment by encouraging scenic and functional open areas within residential areas; and provide for an efficient use of land resulting in increased efficiency in providing services, thus lowering development costs due to the smaller networks for streets and shorter utility lines. The residential planned comprehensive development is a flexible alternative which advocates the grouping or clustering of lots and buildings on a smaller portion of the tract, where the developer can maintain the same residential density but offer smaller lots, with remaining land dedicated or reserved for open space, agriculture, woodlands, or passive recreation.
