Tucked inside the Adams Mountain community, this home offers a rare balance of private retreat and access that lives with the kind of scale, flow, and flexibility that makes luxury feel natural. On the main floor rests the primary suite with a resort-caliber bathroom that feels both impressive and easy… Read More to live in. Anchored by a fully remodeled chef's kitchen with Wolf, Sub-Zero, and double dishwashers, this level brings together formal entertainment spaces, a dedicated office, casual dining spaces and private home theater. The two-story family room, with its dramatic wall of windows and fireplace, creates a strong visual centerpiece that gives the feeling as if you're suspended in the trees living in a luxury mountain-retreat. Above the main floor, a functional loft area overlooks the main area and connects 3 additional bedrooms with walk-in closets, flex space, walk-in attic storage and 2 well-appointed bathrooms. Below the main floor, the layout reaches its full depth. Two guest suites, a full bath, wet bar, recreation area with pool table, second fireplace, and a range of flex rooms make this level as functional as it is impressive. Guests settle in. Extended family stays longer. Hobbies, workouts, and overflow living all have a home here. Beyond the main floor, a dedicated mud room and quiet meditation deck connect to the single-car garage with a second full kitchen. A window-lined corridor continues to the two-car garage and an expansive walk-up attic. Outdoor living is a major part of the experience. Screened and open-air spaces, elevated decks, Zen-like waterfall and pond, patio areas, a dedicated playground, and a richly wooded setting create multiple places to gather, recharge, or host on a larger scale. Just across the street you have direct access to wide open community green space plus the pool, tennis, and pickleball courts that are literally only steps away. The result is a home that feels secluded without feeling isolated and lives larger than the 1.84-acre lot lines suggest. Three levels finished. Multiple garages. A basement built for guests. Outdoor spaces designed to exhale. A Generac generator, two external storage areas including one climate controlled for sensitive items. This is not a home you outgrow. It is one you grow into, season after season, with room for everyone and everything that matters. Schedule your private tour. Read Less
