Beautifully situated on a wooded mountainside with sweeping panoramic mountain and valley views, this custom-built home offers privacy, versatility, and timeless craftsmanship. Built in 2020, the approximately 2700 sq. ft. residence features 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths and is thoughtfully positioned to capture stunning views from nearly every room, as well as from the inviting partial wrap-around porch. The property is zoned A-1 and has no HOA, covenants, or restrictions, allowing flexibility for a primary residence, mini-farm, or private mountain retreat. Several acres have been cleared into open pasture, complemented by a mixed hardwood forest that provides both beauty and seclusion. A large fenced-in garden area is already in place to protect plantings from deer, ideal for those seeking a self-sustaining lifestyle. Fiber internet is nearby, offering the convenience of modern connectivity in a peaceful rural setting. A recent survey was completed in 2019 showing the property benefits from over 1400' of public road frontage, ensuring easy access and long-term value. This exceptional offering blends mountain views, usable land, and modern construction - perfect for those seeking space, freedom, and scenery. Call today!
