Designed with uncompromising attention to detail, 289 Linville River Drive offers the timeless quality, superior craftsmanship, and modern comfort discerning buyers expect-far beyond typical new construction. Recently built in 2022 and thoughtfully crafted on three combined lots totaling more than an acre, this exceptional custom home is anything but ordinary. From the flat, accessible entry, a charming stone walkway leads you inside, where soaring tongue-and-groove, beamed ceilings and neutral finishes create an atmosphere of new, refined mountain elegance. The great room is anchored by a stunning floor-to-ceiling Texas limestone fireplace with gas logs, enhanced by zoned speakers throughout the home and a built-in projector, making it equally suited for intimate evenings or entertaining on a larger scale. The chef's kitchen is both beautiful and functional, featuring classic white shaker cabinetry, quartz counter tops, premium LG gas range, ovens, and refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and a thoughtfully designed walk-in pantry. Just steps away is the mud room and laundry room (with LG washer and dryer) which connect to the over-sized garage, complete with storage galore and dedicated built-in ski and fishing rod racks to complement the year-round mountain lifestyle. The spacious primary suite is your own sanctuary featuring walk-in closets, automated blinds and a spa-inspired bath with premium finishes and thoughtful details, including weathered oak shiplap and beautiful custom lighting. The secondary bedroom offers lovely weathered oak tongue-and-groove and an adjacent bath with a charming live-edge slab countertop. A separate guest or in-law suite, with its own living room, bedroom, and en-suite bath with zero-entry shower and double vanity, provides accessibility, exceptional comfort, and privacy for family or visitors. Fully connected movie room with Dolby ATMOS and ARC ready. Exceptional craftsmanship extends far beyond the interior. Everlast siding, tankless water heater, radon mitigation system, EV charging station, and a premium Briggs & Stratton whole-house generator offer lasting value, efficiency, and peace of mind. The roomy crawlspace features glazed concrete flooring and partial encapsulation, while the attic has already been plumbed for a future fourth-bedroom suite, allowing for flexibility and expansion. Outdoor living is equally impressive with an expansive cedar deck - freshly sealed for lasting beauty, a masonry fireplace, and a new hot tub, all overlooking your wooded surroundings where you can unwind beneath cool mountain skies at over 4000 feet in elevation. Included with the sale are Lots 35, 36, and 52, providing over an acre of space, privacy, and future possibilities. Just outside the gates of Village at Grandfather, you can quickly hop on the Profile Trail, do some shopping and dining at Tynecastle, head to downtown Banner Elk, or hit the slopes at either Sugar or Beech. This is more than a High Country home-it's a meticulously designed mountain retreat where luxury, craftsmanship, and thoughtful functionality coexist, all situated in one of the High Country's most convenient and desirable communities at the base of iconic Grandfather Mountain.
