Own a custom built, meticulously maintained, 3 BR 2.5 BA home in the South’s premiere Outdoor Lifestyle Community, The Coves Mountain River Club! On 2+ acres of serene mountain land, this home was planned for enjoying the beauty of the mountains and comforts of a lovingly maintained home and grounds. The heart of this home is the great room, featuring a gorgeous, stacked stone fireplace climbing to vaulted wood ceilings. Sunlight streaming through tall windows and French doors creates a vibrant, spacious connection to the outdoors. Astonishing views of the Blue Ridge Mountains rim the horizon; you’ll savor incredible sunsets followed by stars that go on forever. The kitchen features custom hickory cabinetry, granite counters, under-mounted stainless steel sink, generous island and breakfast bar, 5 burner gas range, under the counter microwave, beverage chiller, wine storage and a large walk-in pantry. A convenient mudroom+laundry room leads to the garage. Transom windows atop the primary bedroom and the powder room doors ensure that natural light extends beyond the great room. Even the powder room is designed for character and style with a copper sink and leathered granite countertop. The ensuite primary bedroom, with more amazing views of the mountains, is a personal haven for ending the day with tranquility. Upstairs are two additional BR and full BA, connected by a balcony overlooking the great room below. Thoughtful landscape design creates spaces for dining, relaxing, and enjoying the surrounding natural setting, year-round. Follow the path to the backyard oasis where the hot tub spa is tucked away, offering a resort style atmosphere for cool mountain evenings. Pristine grounds are planted with feature evergreens and blooming shrubs. The grass looks like carpet. All this and there are still +/- 1.4 acres of undeveloped woods on the property. Your new home includes unparalleled community amenities. The Coves Mountain River Club is a 3,200 acre gated community on 5 miles of the Johns River, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC.
