Property Description
Nearly 4,900 sq ft of fully furnished, turn-key mountain living on White Oak Mountain, with sweeping long-range views. Built of 12-inch solid timber beams, with 200-year-old heart pine floors, three stone fireplaces, and a whole-house generator, it’s ready for you to arrive with nothing but your suitcase. From the rocking chair front porch to the expansive foyer, the arrival sets the tone for a home designed with intention. Rich materials and curated finishes tell a story of heritage and craftsmanship, including historic heart pine floors and hand-painted brick flooring imported from Italy. The great room is the showpiece: soaring cathedral wood-beam ceilings, a stone gas fireplace, and walls of glass framing the mountain views. The spacious dining area and eat-in kitchen share a second stone fireplace and a large center island, so the kitchen is a natural gathering place. The main-level primary suite is a true sanctuary. It has its own stone fireplace, an iron clawfoot tub with a view, a beautifully renovated shower, and new granite on the dual vanities. A powder room and a walk-in laundry/pantry complete the main floor. Upstairs, a loft makes a quiet spot for reading, and two private guest suites each have an ensuite bath. The lower level is built for entertaining, with a pub-style recreation room that includes a bar and billiards space. It also offers a study or art studio, an additional bedroom, and a full bath, all positioned to take in the views. The unfinished areas add real function: a utility room with a second washer/dryer, a freezer, and a refrigerator, plus a well-equipped tool room and two storage rooms. Outdoors, a full-length rear deck is set up for entertaining and stargazing. There is also a lower-level patio, a charming gazebo, and expansive green space surrounded by natural beauty. Peace of mind is built in: whole-house generator, metal roof, Andersen aluminum-clad hurricane-rated windows, updated rear doors, and water filtration. Truly move-in ready: the sale includes nearly all furnishings, antiques, fine art, and collectibles, down to the cookware, dishes, and linens. The community offers walking trails and three lakes on this gorgeous mountain stocked for fishing. An adjacent 1.56-acre lot is also available for purchase (Parcel #P58 85, Lot #45, Blk A), giving you a rare chance to expand your mountain footprint. Just a scenic 10-minute drive up the mountain brings you to panoramic views, while grocery stores, medical services, banking, and county offices are conveniently located at the base in this charming town—offering everyday essentials within easy reach of your peaceful nature sanctuary.
