About this home

Beautiful, rustic home in Balsam Mountain Preserve. Remote, yet close in proximity to the amenities and main gate. The additional square footage consists of the following: a basement that is not directly accessible from the main level (unheated - 527 sq. ft., heated - 599 sq. ft.), carport - 621 sq. ft., and deck (screened - 420 sq. ft., unscreened - 161 sq. ft.). Adjacent to the main home, is an accessory dwelling (heated - 320 sq. ft.) with small kitchenette that sleeps 2 adults, perfect for visiting family or friends. In addition, there is an additional building envelope to the right of the covered carport if you wanted to expand. Balsam Mountain Preserve is a 4,400 acre club community with 3,400 acres of conservation land and completed amenities. The stunning new facilities at Doubletop Village, including the Summit House Restaurant and Mine Tavern, are now open to members and their guests.
