Located just outside the Beech Mountain town limits in a small gated subdivision, this brand-new construction is scheduled for completion in late summer 2025—and it’s the Modern Mountain Retreat you've been waiting for! Set at the end of the cul-de-sac on 1.16 acres with long-range views and future view control, this 4BR/3BA home blends mountain charm with contemporary finishes. The upper level features vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling stacked stone fireplace with gas logs, and walls of windows to let in the abundant natural light. The open-plan layout connects the kitchen, living, and dining areas seamlessly. Also on the main floor: a spacious primary suite with sliding glass doors to the deck, a spa-like bath with soaking tub, oversized shower, and walk-in closet. A second upstairs bedroom shares a full bathroom with hallway access. Laundry room, linen storage, and pantry also on this level. Downstairs, the den/family room includes a second fireplace and plenty of room for a pool table. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and an oversized two-car garage round out the lower level, along with a mechanical/storage room. There's ample opportunity for outdoor living on both levels with hundreds of feet of decking, including a generous covered porch for al-fresco dining. The lot extends down to the road below, and selective tree topping can open up stunning vistas. Situated just 0.5mi from Fred’s Mercantile, 2mi to the entrance of Beech Mountain Ski Resort, and <10 minutes to downtown Banner Elk, this home offers all the convenience w/ lower taxes. Long- and short-term rentals permitted (2-night min.), and excellent rental potential. Example photos are from a neighboring home to show layout and finish quality; final design details may vary. Quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and quality craftsmanship throughout. Special assessment proposed for gate maintenance, but is expected to be completed prior to home’s completion.
