Not all new construction is created equal-and this custom mountain retreat proves it at every turn. Near completion, this private sanctuary was originally built as a personal custom home-never intended for the market-and that distinction shows in every decision made along the way. Built with poured concrete walls, 2x6 exterior framing, closed-cell foam insulation, and high-efficiency HVAC, it delivers exceptional performance behind its striking design. When investing in a mountain home, what you can't see matters just as much as what you can. Thoughtful construction like this is what truly sets a property apart, and this home was built to outperform from the foundation out. The exterior showcases Brava synthetic cedar shake and a standing seam metal roof-a significant investment rarely seen at this level-paired with masonite and concrete siding for lasting durability and minimal maintenance. Perched at approximately 4,500 feet atop Double Knob within Chinquapin's 2,000-gated acres, this 4-bed, 4.5-bath home offers breathtaking long-range mountain and valley views, with unforgettable sunrises and sunsets. Inside, a mix of timeless farmhouse and craftsman design meets modern refinement. The open main level features pecky pecan floors, beamed tongue-and-groove ceilings, a statement stone fireplace, and Phillip Jeffries grasscloth wallpaper. Expansive windows frame the surrounding landscape like living art. The chef's kitchen dazzles with an Explosion Blue island with a two-inch mitered edge, Calacatta Oro countertops, Wolf range, Bosch dishwasher, LG 4-door refrigerator, beverage cooler, and wine fridge. The primary suite offers dual closets and a spa-inspired bath perfectly positioned for ridge-top views. Guest suites are equally well-appointed. Outdoor living shines with a screened patio off the kitchen, fireplace lounge, sunset-facing dining porch, and multiple decks across two levels. Additional highlights include a whole-house generator, Trex decking, and an oversized two-car garage with ~800 sq ft of conditioned space above-ideal for a studio, office, or guest overflow.
