About This Home

As of July 2025

Location, location, location! Tucked away in the lower portion of the gated community of High Knob, 181 High Knob Ct offers the perfect blend of peace, privacy, and convenience. As you turn into the driveway, you're greeted by a charming creek that runs along the front of the property, setting the tone for this serene mountain retreat. The home also borders the protected and peaceful Self-Realization Fellowship property, adding an extra layer of privacy and natural beauty.

Inside, the open-concept main floor seamlessly connects the living room, dining area, and remodeled kitchen, featuring soft-close cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances (new in 2020, with the exception of the stove). The spacious great room boasts vaulted ceilings and a striking floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace, creating a warm and inviting focal point.

Enjoy outdoor living on the expansive wraparound porch—accessible from both the living room and the main-floor primary suite. The primary bedroom also includes a large walk-in closet and a spa-like bath with a standalone soaking tub and tiled stall shower. A remodeled half bath completes the main level.

The lower level features a large family room with a flue for a woodstove and French doors leading to the lower-level porch. Two oversized bedrooms, both with walk-in closets, provide ample space—one with its own private access to the porch. A remodeled full bath and a storage room complete this functional and flexible lower level.

Additional highlights include an RV hook-up and a 50-year shingle roof installed in 2014.

As a resident of High Knob, you’ll enjoy a community public water system, pool, tennis courts, playground, walking trails, and private access to the Appalachian Trail. Plus, the location offers quick access to I-66 for an easy commute, making it ideal for full-time living or a weekend escape.

Whether you're searching for a full-time residence or a weekend escape, this beautiful home combines comfort, style, and an unbeatable location.
