347 Linwood Ln, Newland, NC 28657

Rustic mountain character, breathtaking views, and modern comfort come together in this thoughtfully built 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with a spacious loft. Since construction was completed in the fall of 2025, the home has only been occupied by the builder while he was constructing his personal home. Set surrounded by lush woods, with incredible west-facing, layered long-range mountain views, the home delivers spectacular sunsets and virtually no light pollution. Oversized covered front and rear decks create exceptional outdoor living spaces for enjoying the mountains year-round. Inside, warm rustic character is paired with thoughtful modern upgrades. Features include a gas fireplace, tankless water heater, Level 2 EV charger, invisible pet fence and whole-house generator-ready connection. Higher-end appliances add another layer of convenience, including a refrigerator with dual ice makers - traditional ice plus oversized craft ice spheres and large capacity LG washer/ dryer. The home was also built with efficiency and indoor comfort in mind. Spray foam insulation from top to bottom creates a highly efficient, tightly sealed building envelope, while a dedicated ERV system continuously circulates fresh air 24/7 for improved comfort and indoor air quality. Four exterior motion-tracking security cameras provide additional coverage around the property. Located in a newly developed mountain community, the home offers low HOA fees and generally level, easy-to-navigate roads - a major advantage for mountain living. Neighborhood amenities include a community pavilion, pickleball court and basketball court. Tucked into the heart of the High Country, just 3 miles from the entrance to Grandfather Mountain and a stone's throw from Banner Elk and Sugar Mountain Resort, you'll have skiing, hiking, dining, shopping and year-round mountain recreation close by. Avery County's hospital and the local fire department are also nearby, providing added convenience without sacrificing the peaceful mountain setting. From sunsets on the covered deck to star-filled nights under dark mountain skies, this home offers the character and privacy of a true mountain retreat with the efficiency, technology and conveniences of modern construction.
