Some properties are more than a place to call home - they're a place to slow down, settle in, and experience mountain living at its finest. Welcome to 1136 Elk Shoals Creek Rd, a custom-built luxury retreat completed in 2022 and set on 2.25 beautifully landscaped acres, combining modern style with the kind of warmth that makes a mountain house feel like home. From the moment you pass through the entrance gate and make your way up to the home, you're welcomed by a sense of privacy and mountain charm. Inside, soaring 24-foot cathedral ceilings in the living room, generous 10-foot ceilings throughout, and impressive 9-foot doors in every bedroom and bathroom create an open, airy feel that complements the home's custom design. Rich engineered hardwood floors, leathered kitchen countertops, and striking A-frame windows set the tone, while natural light fills the open living spaces and mountain views provide a beautiful backdrop. Sliding glass doors surrounding the living area invite the outdoors in, making it easy to imagine slow mornings with coffee, evenings spent entertaining, and weekends that never seem quite long enough. Outside, the partially covered wraparound porch, finished with low-maintenance composite decking, offers the perfect place to take it all in. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a private escape, with frosted-glass doors overlooking the living area, expansive windows framing the views, a spacious walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired ensuite featuring beautiful custom tile work. The basement lower level offers even more room to spread out, with an additional bedroom, full bathroom, and dedicated office space. Large sliding glass doors lead both rooms to a covered patio, creating a peaceful extension of the living space. This level has also been a popular short-term rental, offering flexibility for guests or potential income. Beyond the main home, the property continues to impress. Thoughtfully landscaped grounds feature a newly installed fish pond, stone retaining wall with rocks found on the property, a designated camping area with RV hookup, and a covered picnic area made for gathering with family and friends. A separate 384-square-foot living space offers its own bedroom, full bathroom, sauna, and porch overlooking a small stream. Open the doors, settle in, and let the sound of the water become part of your everyday routine. Previously used as a short-term rental, this additional retreat offers even more possibilities. A spacious garage/workshop with electricity and an electric vehicle charger adds practical versatility, while a nearby chicken coop completes the property's distinctive mountain homestead appeal. Whether you're searching for a full-time mountain residence, a private getaway, or a property with flexible spaces for hosting and potential rental opportunities, this one offers a little something extraordinary: room to breathe, space to gather, and a setting that invites you to stay awhile.
