Welcome to Whitewater Ridge, a private gated mountaintop community perched at elevations above 3,800 feet, this 15 +/- acre retreat offers cool summer temperatures and sweeping views of endless mountain peaks. Surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest, residents enjoy direct access to hiking trails that wind through the community and connect to the Whitewater River, where sparkling waterfalls and trout-filled waters create the perfect escape. This meticulously maintained property offers the ideal blend of seclusion, adventure, and natural beauty. The home is a spacious 4-bedroom residence with a bonus room, family room, and lofted office, complete with four full bathrooms and one half bath thoughtfully spread across three levels. On the main level, the open kitchen and dining area flow seamlessly to a screened side porch with built-in grill, while the primary suite provides a private retreat with its own ensuite bath. A mudroom with coffee bar connects to the oversized two-car garage, ensuring both convenience and function. Upstairs, an open loft is currently set as an office, while two guest bedrooms each feature private baths and a versatile bonus room makes the perfect playroom or media space. On the lower level, a cozy family room with fireplace is ideal for movie or game nights, complemented by an additional guest bedroom, full bath, and even a second laundry closet designed for a stackable washer and dryer. From nearly every room in the house, you’ll experience breathtaking long-range mountain views. Practical details such as 2025 new exterior paint, a whole-home filtration system, smart HVAC, an encapsulated crawlspace, and a whole-home generator provide added comfort and peace of mind. Thoughtfully designed and beautifully situated, this home at Whitewater Ridge is more than just a residence—it’s a true mountain sanctuary.
