There is a peace that comes from knowing exactly where you are in the world. This 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in the coveted Holly Forest community offers just that: a secluded retreat perched on a shaded ridge where the noise of everyday life doesn't reach, with all SVMA amenities. Inside, an updated kitchen with granite countertops and grand living room with vaulted ceilings anchor the main space. Every room, including a spacious primary bedroom, has been thoughtfully updated, creating a welcoming canvas for someone new to make their own. A garage and large downstairs bonus area round out the interior. The steep concrete driveway, coarse-cut for traction in every season, has never frozen over in the current owner's 9 years of mountain winters, offering both access and a quiet sense of security. Amenities round out the lifestyle: pool, fitness center, par-3 golf course, and private lake access. A large deck off the front and fireplace area from the back offer great outdoor relaxation. Whether you're looking for a full-time sanctuary, a mountain escape for two, or a turnkey rental investment in one of Western NC's most sought-after communities, this home is ready for you.
