Set on a rare, half acre homesite backing to open space and the scenic High Woods Trail, this nearly 7,000-square-foot estate in the prestigious, gated Highwoods neighborhood, captures panoramic mountain viewsan offering seldom available here. Mature, curated landscaping and a welcoming front patio create a sense of arrival, while proximity to the neighborhood pool, tennis, and pickleball courts enhances a true resort-style lifestyle. Inside, a grand foyer with soaring ceilings, rich cherry hardwood floors, and a curved staircase delivers a striking first impression, with expansive windows framing natural light and mountain views. A refined executive office with custom millwork and plantation shutters anchors the main level, while the formal living room features vaulted ceilings, architectural archways, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a statement gas fireplace. The chefs kitchen blends timeless design and function with custom cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, double ovens, and a six-burner gas cooktop, opening to a sunlit breakfast nook and elevated deck positioned for sunset views. The adjacent family room offers built-ins and a second fireplace. Upstairs, the primary suite is a private retreat with its own balcony, spa-inspired five-piece bath, and expansive walk-in closet, complemented by secondary bedrooms including a private en suite, Jack-and-Jill layout, and a flexible bonus room. The walkout lower level is designed for entertaining, featuring a spacious lounge, billiards area, custom wet bar, fitness studio, private guest suite, and a spa-caliber bath with sauna and steam shower. Outdoor living is equally compelling with a slate pathway, side staircase, and wraparound deck leading to a secluded firepit lounge with Adirondack seating set against protected open space. An oversized three-car garage with epoxy floors, EV charging, and guest parking completes the home. Opportunities of this scale, setting, and privacy in Highwoods are extremely limited.
