Upstairs you are greeted with vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, stainless appliances, and walls of windows framing the endless views while you sip coffee or gather around the fire. The exterior of this mountain get away offers a circular driveway, well-maintained gravel road, treehouse, playground, and added storage in the shed that is equipped with power. If you're looking for cool summer breezes, fiery fall colors or snowy winter peaks, this property has them all year-round! At 959 Plott Balsam, every day feels like you’ve escaped to the mountains… because you have. And you will never want to leave!
