Framed by sweeping panoramic mountain views, 679 Falcon Road is a dramatic lodge-style retreat set on over 33 acres with Lost River frontage and a private pond. Designed for both comfort and grandeur, the home offers four bedrooms and four bathrooms, highlighted by soaring cathedral ceilings, tongue-and-groove woodwork, exposed beams, and a massive stone wood-burning fireplace that anchors the great room. Floor-to-ceiling aluminum-clad Pella windows and skylights flood the space with natural light and frame breathtaking views of Big Ridge and the surrounding landscape. The oversized open-concept kitchen blends seamlessly with the dining and living areas, featuring quartz counters, abundant prep space, a secondary oven range, built-in microwave, and refrigerator with icemaker—making the home as functional as it is beautiful. The main floor includes a primary suite with direct porch access, an ensuite bath with double vanity and walk-in closet, a mudroom with laundry and half bath, and a bonus bedroom or office with mountain views. Upstairs, two additional suites each offer ensuite baths, skylights, and dramatic views—one with a Juliet balcony. Custom woodwork details are found throughout, while the unfinished basement provides nearly 1,500 square feet of daylight walkout space with high ceilings and a rough-in for an additional bathroom, ready to be finished into expanded living space. Central heat and air conditioning and a water softener ensure year-round comfort. Outdoor living shines with a screened porch off the kitchen, a full wraparound deck offering 360-degree views, and a firepit for evenings under the stars. The property is exceptionally private, with multiple access points including a deeded right-of-way across the Lost River to State Route 259. Adding even more value are additional structures out of view from the main home: a charming old farmhouse with potential as a rental, studio, or workshop; a barn/garage ideal for tractors, ATVs, and equipment storage; and two smaller rustic buildings—an old spring house and a storage shed. Blending lodge architecture, quality finishes, and the serenity of its natural setting, this property offers a rare opportunity for a private residence, a weekend escape, or a multi-use retreat with income potential. Enhancing the experience, outdoor adventures await with Lost River State Park at your doorstep, along with easy access to local markets, restaurants, boutique shops, and entertainment.
