About this home

**Back on the market at no fault of the seller** Stunning cedar and stone mountain home with breathtaking, long-range views in Gateway Mountain’s 3,000-acre nature preserve! The chef’s kitchen includes silestone counters, oak cabinetry, and an expansive island. Hike to a private community waterfall just 1 mile from your door, explore the nearby community lake or Catawba Falls; only 15 minutes away. Soaring 25’ ceilings, a dramatic stone fireplace, and a wall of glass in the great room with views of Hickory Nut Gorge, and the Blue Ridge Mountains! Two spacious suites with ensuite baths offer space to unwind after a day outdoors. An open loft adds flexibility for work or play. Step onto over 1,000 square feet of wraparound decking to take in the million dollar views! The basement has 11’ ceilings, a rec room, and full bath. Don’t forget the oversized 3-car garage!
