About This Home

Spectacular mountaintop retreat with unmatched views and total privacy! Welcome to what may be the crown jewel of Misty Mountain! Perched at the summit, this beautifully crafted, one-level home offers sweeping, protected views over the stunning Johns River Gorge—plus the rare privacy of owning five adjoining lots, including three that extend to the road for added seclusion and two that preserve your forever views. Originally built in 1985 and completely rebuilt from the foundation up in 2000, this home seamlessly blends timeless mountain charm with modern comforts. Step inside to an open-concept great room featuring soaring tongue-and-groove ceilings and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace—a perfect centerpiece for cozy evenings. The primary suite offers a private retreat of its own with a gas-log fireplace, rustic mountain finishes, and access to those same breathtaking views. Enjoy effortless indoor-outdoor living with a covered porch and open deck, ideal for savoring mountain breezes and stunning sunsets in every season. The perennial shade garden, filled with mature rhododendron, offers a serene, low-maintenance escape for quiet mornings or entertaining guests. Additional features include: Geothermal heating with electric backup, whole-house generator, central vacuum system, two-car garage, gourmet kitchen with gas cooktop, double wall ovens, and stainless steel appliances, abundant natural light and thoughtful layout. With easy access, unrivaled privacy, and exceptional craftsmanship, this is more than just a mountain home—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a true mountaintop sanctuary.
