This remarkable 15-acre retreat pairs sweeping mountain vistas with polished, modern comfort in the gated community of Whitewater Ridge. Built in 2021 at an elevation of approximately 3,800 feet, this four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath custom residence captures long-range views and breathtaking sunrises from nearly every room and adjoins National Forest land with access to the Whitewater River. Natural light fills the open kitchen and dining area, where Sub-Zero and Thermador appliances, a butler's pantry, and seamless access to a screened porch with built-in grill make entertaining effortless. Three stone fireplaces warm the great room, Carolina room, and lower-level family room. The main-level primary suite offers privacy, while two upstairs guest suites, a loft office, and a flexible bonus room provide generous accommodations. Downstairs, an additional bedroom, full bath, family room, and second laundry closet add exceptional versatility. The mudroom off the kitchen connects to an oversized two-car garage, with unfinished bonus space above offering flexibility for the new owner to customize. Foam-seal insulation, buried utilities, one-gigabit fiber-optic service, smart thermostats, security cameras, whole-home water filtration, an encapsulated crawlspace, and a generator support comfort and peace of mind. Fresh exterior paint (2025) adds further appeal and furnishings convey with limited exclusions. Beyond the doorstep, community trails lead toward the Whitewater River for enjoying nature and pristine trout fishing waters. The community pavilion and pond and nearby Whitewater Falls/Gorges State Park invite outdoor exploration. Arrange your private tour and experience this exceptional sanctuary firsthand.
