About This Home

Perched within the highly sought-after High Vista community of Mills River, this exceptional mountain retreat captures the essence of refined living, where elevation meets breathtaking, long-range views. Designed across three levels plus a fully appointed basement, the home unfolds with graceful intention, each space opening to expansive porches on the top three floors—perfectly framing the ever-changing landscape. Inside, exquisite woodworking and bespoke cabinetry create a warm yet sophisticated ambiance. The gourmet kitchen is a true centerpiece, appointed with Sub-Zero appliances, a wine refrigerator, wet bar, and generous breakfast bar—ideal for both intimate mornings and elegant entertaining. The living room is bathed in natural light, its vaulted ceilings enhancing the sense of openness and connection to the surrounding beauty. The primary suite, thoughtfully positioned on the main level alongside the kitchen, dining, living, and laundry, offers a private sanctuary with a spa-inspired bath and stunning panoramic views. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a lofted office provide flexibility, while the third level reveals inviting bonus spaces for recreation or retreat. The lower level presents a remarkable opportunity for independent living, complete with a bedroom, bath, kitchen, recreation area, and direct access to a serene patio. Outdoors, meticulously designed spaces invite both relaxation and gathering, creating a seamless harmony between luxury and nature.
