Long-range mountain views open from this custom log home, completed in 2025 in the prestigious gated community of Alarka Highlands outside Bryson City, the "Outdoor Adventure Capital of the Great Smokies." Known for its retreat setting and jaw-dropping, unobstructed views, Alarka Highlands pairs ample privacy with a clubhouse, picnic pavilion and walking trails, so quiet mornings and active afternoons are never far apart.
As new construction, everything here is new, and you feel it the moment you step inside. Soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling JELD-WEN windows and doors fill the home with light and make the mountains the backdrop for everyday life, while hardwood floors run through an open living and dining area anchored by a propane fireplace. The kitchen, finished with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, flows out to expansive TREX® decking where the view takes over. With a bedroom suite on every floor and an extra bonus room on the main level for additional sleeping quarters, owners and guests each have their own space to unwind. Upstairs, a large open loft is ready for whatever the day calls for: bunks for a crowd, a game room or lounge, a home office, or morning yoga with a view.
The terrace level is where this home sets itself apart. Along with a large bedroom and full bath, it offers a recreation room ready for game night with a mounted TV, shuffleboard and extra futons for guests. Next door, the wellness suite brings the spa home with a dedicated massage room, a large Scandia sauna built for groups, and a full walk-in tile shower for cold therapy or simply relaxation. Multiple exterior doors open to a lower terrace with a firepit, extra parking and equally compelling views. Throughout the home, dual Trane heat pumps, Honeywell Home climate control and a whole-house Generac generator keep everything comfortable in every season.
Beyond the gate, the Smoky Mountains become your playground. Bryson City is the North Carolina gateway to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, with paddling on Fontana Lake, whitewater on the Nantahala River, tubing on Deep Creek, trails throughout the Nantahala National Forest, and the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad departing from the historic downtown depot.
For short-term rental investors, nature enthusiasts, second-home buyers, or anyone seeking a quiet, peaceful life in the mountains, this one is worth the drive up the mountain. Most furniture conveys with acceptable offer.
