Perched inside the gated mountain community of Laurel Ridge just outside Black Mountain, this fully furnished retreat captures the mountain lifestyle buyers come here searching for. Wake up to long-range views from the deck, spend evenings in the hot tub beneath cool Carolina skies, and gather around the fireplace after days exploring nearby trails, breweries, and downtown Black Mountain. Designed for both connection and comfort, the home features open living spaces, expansive decking, and warm mountain-inspired finishes throughout. A separate apartment offers added flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or rental potential, while the theater and game room create the perfect setting for unforgettable weekends and repeat stays. Whether envisioned as a private escape, income-producing property, or both, this home offers the rare combination of views, privacy, entertainment space, and flexibility in one of the area’s sought-after gated communities.
