About This Home
Perched 4,000 feet in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this remarkable offering presents a rare opportunity to experience elevated mountain living within Balsam Mountain Preserve in Sylva, North Carolina. A luxurious Morgan-Keefe Custom Built fully appointed, move-in ready exquisite house—equipped with EV charging—is already in place, while across a running mountain stream, your dream home site awaits. This exceptional property allows you to step immediately into the Balsam lifestyle—tee off at the Arnold Palmer-designed golf course, enjoy scenic horseback rides from the equestrian center, and unwind at the private wellness center—all within a gated community defined by privacy, natural beauty, and refined amenities. Ideally suited as a primary residence, secondary home, or legacy mountain retreat. The quest residence is a sophisticated, fully furnished sanctuary where architecture and nature exist in perfect harmony. Expansive floor-to-ceiling glass frames the surrounding landscape, while the open-concept design creates an effortless flow for both entertaining and everyday living. A gourmet kitchen anchors the space, complemented by a vaulted living room and striking stone fireplace that invites year-round relaxation. A thoughtfully designed secondary suite, complete with its own private entrance and kitchenette, offers exceptional flexibility for STR /LTR/ multigenerational living, providing both privacy and income potential without compromise. Across the stream, a premier homesite offers the opportunity to design and build a custom estate while enjoying immediate use of the existing residence. Significant infrastructure is already in place, including a 1,000-foot paved private driveway, high-speed fiber internet, generator, high-capacity deep freshwater well, and power pre-plumbed to the main building site. This is a rare convergence of immediate livability and future vision—an extraordinary opportunity to create a legacy property within one of Western North Carolina’s most sought-after private communities.
