Designed by Donald Gardner and chosen by Southern Living as a favorite design in 2001, this home exudes casual elegance at every turn. Much loved and well-maintained, this is a home for the ages. Perfectly sited on a gentle hillside and naturally landscaped, you know you’re headed to something special as you drive into the community, through the picturesque golf course and over the scenic, rushing and boulder-laden North Fork River. The home, with its soaring great room ceilings, open design, grand fireplace, three-season solarium and one-level living, could not be more comfortable. Fantastic outdoor living! Many recent updates include HVAC, kitchen with chiseled-edge granite and a hall bath that is a mini-spa for your guests. Don’t play golf? No worries. You don’t have to join; you can pay per play. It’s just minutes to Linville Falls, the Blue Ridge Parkway, wineries, ski areas and all manner of local artisans. This is a one-owner home and never smoked in. A very special place.
