The walkout basement offers space for guests and entertaining. Outdoor living includes a screened porch with wood-burning fireplace and multiple covered porches for quiet reflection. Balsam Mountain Preserve offers more than a home—it’s a lifestyle, with access to golf, equestrian facilities, a nature center, dining, and more.
