Set amid the broad, rugged arms of the Appalachians on 40 secluded acres with a direct vista of the majestic 3,602-foot Temple Hill, 601 Gilbert Road offers an enchanting 4,441-square-foot main residence with a 2,269-square-foot guest house, including a four-car garage. The property abuts the Cherokee National Forest and sits at an elevation of over 2,800 feet. Four bedrooms are located in the main house with a fifth in the guest house. You'll find three full baths and one half bath in the residence with a fourth full bath in the guest house and a second half bath in an on-property 24' x 60' workshop. Perfectly located near Erwin between the bustling arts, cultural, and entertainment scene of Asheville, N. C. and major retail shopping centers in Johnson City, Tenn. , both a half-hour away. In no room is the relationship with nature more evident than the master sitting room. With 8' windows replete with wood frames and glorious 270º views of the property and the Unaka Mountains beyond. In the open-plan great room, soaring 27-foot ceilings and hand-stained custom walls, floors, and ceilings lend to a natural palette. The stacked-stone fireplace creates a sumptuous atmosphere. You'll also enjoy the hidden projection television system above the fireplace and the state-of-the-art home music system which offers zoned music inside and out. An ergonomic kitchen with all of the modern luxury features you expect. Jenn-Air refrigerator drawers, Jenn-Air dual-fuel range and a 240V GE Advantium speed oven complement the appliance suite. A 48-inch Sub Zero refrigerator, direct-plumbed Bunn coffee machine, nugget-style ice machine, and built-in Wolf extra-large burner and steamer basket system. A dramatic geometric dining pavilion features built in kitchen-quality sinks as well as built in gas and wood-fired grills. All utilities are directed underground offering gigabit fiber-optic Internet directly to the residence. The property may be viewed by appointment.
