629 Peaks DriveHayesville, NC 28904

Wake up to layer upon layer of Blue Ridge peaks and go to bed under sunsets that take your breath away. As the sun sets, it casts a breathtaking cascade of color across the mountains, making it feel as though the entire sky has been staged solely for your eyes. This is your custom mountain retreat: sitting perched at the top of its own private, paved drive, with long-range views in nearly every direction. Inside, soaring ceilings and a fireplace anchor an open great room that flows seamlessly into a chef's kitchen boasting a show-stopping waterfall island, stunning custom tile work, and hand-selected finishes throughout. The primary suite offers a private retreat of its own -- room to unwind after a day spent taking in the scenery. Downstairs, a fully finished lower-level lounge -- complete with a home theater, dry bar, wine room, and whiskey wall -- makes this the ultimate gathering spot for game nights, movie marathons, or just unwinding with friends. Outdoor living is just as impressive. A huge screened-in porch offers a bug-free spot to relax any time of year, while multiple patios -- including one with an outdoor fireplace, plus a separate fire pit area overlooking the endless mountain views -- make this a home built for gathering under the stars. A stone-lined water feature cascades alongside the path leading to the detached guest house, which comes complete with its own cozy fireplace -- perfect for visitors, rental income, or multigenerational living. An additional metal garage offers extra storage or workshop space, all set on over 5 private, wooded acres, with additional acreage available for those wanting even more room to roam. Just a short drive to Fires Creek Wilderness Area, downtown Hayesville, downtown Murphy, and The John C. Campbell Folk School.
