Set along 240 feet of tranquil creek frontage and just three miles from Cataloochee with long range Winter mountain views, this beautifully crafted, pre-inspected ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) home offers exceptional energy efficiency, durability, and a truly serene mountain retreat. The residence features a striking living room with a vaulted ceiling, bathed in natural light thanks to strategically placed sun tunnels, and anchored by a beautiful stone, gas-log fireplace. The functional and stylish chef’s kitchen is perfectly equipped for cooking and entertaining, boasting elegant cherry cabinets, a double oven, a gas cooktop with a vented hood, and both a peninsula and an island. Retreat to the luxurious creek-view primary suite, which includes a spa-like bath and a custom walk-in closet with thoughtful built-in organization. Adding ultimate flexibility is a private guest suite over the garage, which comes complete with its own separate entrance, a full bath, and individually zoned heating and AC, making it ideal for long-term visitors or a separate living space. Outdoor enjoyment is maximized with low-stress, beautifully maintained landscaping accessible from 2 sunny decks, a relaxing screened porch, or the dedicated hot tub patio. The home offers unmatched peace of mind with a Liquid Cooled Generator for uninterrupted power, a shared well, and a 2-bed septic system, all underscored by recent professional interior paint applied in 2023 and the inherent strength of the ICF construction. Comes Pre-Inspected. Home had no flooding/damage during Hurricane Helene. Just minutes away from the heart of Maggie Valley's restaurants, shopping and entertainment. Located only a few miles to Cataloochee Ranch and Cataloochee Ski Resort.
