605 Thistle Way, Sugar Grove, NC 28679 (MLS # 264173)
|
Set atop a scenic knoll, this exceptional mountain estate presents a rare union of privacy, craftsmanship, acreage, and sweeping High Country views stretching across the Valle Crucis valley. Positioned on 10.56 acres with Watauga River road frontage, 605 Thistle Way is a striking log residence designed as both an elevated personal retreat and a memorable gathering place that offers absolute seclusion without sacrificing proximity to Boone and Blowing Rock. Step inside to a dramatic wall of windows fills the main living area with natural light and frames the surrounding mountain landscape, while soaring cathedral ceilings, substantial exposed log beams, and a stone fireplace create an unforgettable sense of scale and warmth. The open-concept floor plan flows into a chef's kitchen featuring premium granite countertops, rich custom cabinetry, and seamless transitions to expansive dining and outdoor living areas. A spacious main-level guest bedroom and bath offer effortless main-floor living. Ascend to the private upper level, dedicated entirely to the primary suite. Complete with a cozy reading loft, a private balcony capturing sunset vistas over the valley, and a spa-inspired bathroom with a oversized jetted tub, this level is designed as tranquil getaway within the home. The finished lower level extends the home's recreational appeal with a game room, media room, sauna, tiled bath, additional bedroom, two flexible bonus rooms with closets, workshop, and abundant storage. Outdoor living is equally compelling. Step outside from the lower level to a covered patio and hot tub overlooking the mountains, or enjoy the multiple covered decks, peaceful grounds, ample guest parking, and dedicated UTV and firewood storage. With its exceptional setting, classic log craftsmanship, flexible living areas, and proximity to High Country destinations, this property offers an extraordinary opportunity for a full-time residence, refined mountain escape, legacy retreat or STR investment property.
