Montreat is a wonderful place to live! It's a very unique place next door to Black Mountain yet special in it's own right. It's a place where neighbors (often with their dog) take walks along the foot paths beside the 20 MPH roads to go to the lake or the community pool, tennis courts or children's play ground. Truthfully it's hard to describe Montreat.. it's a special place one has to see and experience to get the true feeling of this wonderful community.

It's not everyday that an opportunity like this comes along, especially in the exclusive town of Montreat, NC. Thoughtfully designed, detailed, and crafted, this gorgeous 6,773 sq. ft. log home is located on a private, 2.94 acre setting of 11 originally platted lots. The open, welcoming floor plan features large gathering rooms, decks, 1st floor master suite, all with custom detailing, character, and comfort. Small details combine to give the house solidity and substance. The main living spaces are connected to one another visually, yet there's a strong distinction between one area and the next. This elegant retreat is a log house and much more! -- it's a log house for our time. Practical details include a 3-zoned geothermal heating/cooling system, as well as a lower-level, self-contained apartment. Adjacent to preserved wilderness property, bordered by natural streams with waterfalls! Multiple additional building lots are also possible. Additional Features about this unique home are: *Well water – output is 60 gallons per minute. *Geothermal Heating/Cooling System utilizes well water and returns pure water to the land. *Generator (encased in log structure to complement house, with unique tilt/roof design) *If electric power is lost, generator provides power to basement and selected appliances and outlets on the 1st floor, and the gas fireplace heater in basement provides heat for the entire basement. *320-gallon sunken liquid propane tank. *First home site in Montreat to be designated a National Wildlife Federation Backyard Wildlife Habitat site (certificate #23846 issued June 21, 1999). This eventually led to other home habitat designations, and in 2007, the town of Montreat was recognized as a certified Community Habitat – the only town/city in North Carolina to achieve this designation to date. *Rock work featured throughout the property: wall near picnic table in family campfire area, wall near large-beam construction supporting Calloway Garden giant wind chimes in meditation area, and stone paths, bridge and patio are noteworthy. *Landscaping complements native plants and features many mature cultivated rhododendron, and several varieties of laurels, hydrangeas, groundcovers and fern. *Active streams on perimeters of property including bog gardens and waterfall. *One of the largest stands of mature hemlocks in Montreat – all hemlocks treated for woolly Adelaide infestation. *Preserved woodlands with unique variety of native wildflowers, rhododendron, mountain laurel and a mix of mature trees (includes a grove of ear-leaf magnolias adjacent to the house), mosses, fern, and grasses. *The property is adjacent to a dedicated wilderness area. *Land slopes gently -- all areas of property accessible; Montreat’s Horseshoe Trail originates on property. *A house for all seasons: fall: leaf color summer: bountiful shade winter: expansive mountain views, accessible driveway spring: native dogwoods, abundant wildflowers and daffodil bulbs. *Unique half-log exterior construction (Wisconsin Log Homes). *Cedar logs hand coated with 4-6 coats of protective high-grade stain. *Termite protection. *Intercom and alarm system. *House built by Mark Barker with special consideration given to minimizing site disturbance, maximizing views, sun exposure, and accessibility, and engaging local craftsmen. *Pella doors and windows. *Kohler fixtures and appliances by Sub-Zero, KitchenAid, Bosch and Maytag. *Custom Cabinetry by Wood-Mode. Kitchen range features a retractable exhaust fan and sewing room has a built-in ironing board. *Lighting includes extensive exterior up-lighting on trees surrounding the house and driveway approach. *Property allows for parking of many vehicles -- easy drive up to house (circular drive with island). *Property is handicapped accessible -- no-step entry into the home. *Two-car garage features utility sink/storage area and custom peg storage systems. *House features walk-in closets and abundant storage areas including large cedar-lined closet on 2nd level. *Hardwood throughout the 1st and 2nd levels: Natural ash -- random placement of 3 sizes of rustic plank flooring; basement features wall-to-wall carpeting. *Post and beam interior construction on 1st and 2nd levels; loft features half cedar logs. *Master bath and guest bath on 2nd floor feature oversize Jacuzzi tubs, custom tile work in showers and sinks, and custom wainscoting, shelving and cabinetry. *House is pre-wired for separate T.V. reception on all three levels. *Basement has self-contained kitchen.
