Presenting Grand Oaks, a coveted community located within the protected boundaries of a National Forest offering a gated entrance, paved roads, long-term privacy, and tranquility while remaining just minutes from Downtown Blue Ridge. Designed by renowned architect Tony Boyatt, this exceptional 3BR/3.5BA home with 2-car garage blends refined mountain luxury with enduring craftsmanship. Accessed by a private, estate-style driveway with potential for private gated entry, the home is set on a heavily wooded lot with mountain views and unusually gentle, usable terrain complete with professional landscaping. In addition to the garage, there is substantial private parking. The level rear yard--rare for a mountain home--is ideal for outdoor living, landscaping, or gardening. The main level features a dramatic great room with cathedral ceilings, chef's kitchen with high-end appliances and custom cabinetry, dining area, luxurious primary suite, true laundry room, and walk in pantry. The lower level offers a family/game room with wet bar, two guest suites, and a concrete-framed bonus room carved into the mountain--ideal for a safe room, wine cellar, office, gym, or gun room. Expansive covered outdoor living includes a main-level porch with wood-burning fireplace and top of the line outdoor kitchen, plus a lower-level covered patio with walk-out access. Low-maintenance exterior with cement board siding, trim, and all-aluminum windows designed for durability and reduced upkeep. High-speed fiber internet available.
