Your backyard has no fence, no neighbors, and no end. It's the US National Forest, starting right where your property ends. Just under a mile through the trees, you're at the lake's edge. Homes that back directly to the National Forest almost never come up in the Aska Adventure Area. This one sits in a gated neighborhood of exceptional homes, just over 10 minutes from downtown Blue Ridge, and it has been fully renovated from top to bottom. Mornings start with coffee on the large screened porch, mature hardwoods in every direction, and seasonal lake and mountain views from both levels. Oversized 8-ft sliders pull that view into a large great room with a soaring vaulted ceiling. The forest is your view, your privacy, and your backyard, protected for good. Everything that matters is new: kitchen, baths, appliances, cabinets, countertops, lighting, plumbing fixtures, window glass, HVAC, water heater, and well pressure tank. Both bathrooms have double vanities with a separate water closet and shower area. Two bedrooms are on the main level. The lower level adds a third bedroom plus a bunk area, so there is room for 8. Outside, a brand-new 6-person hot tub is being installed on October 19, alongside a fire pit at the forest's edge. Picture starlight, quiet, and nothing but trees in every direction. It comes fully furnished and professionally decorated, right down to the kitchenware. Bring your groceries and your suitcase. That's it. Make it your private mountain escape, a quiet weekend for two, or the place everyone gathers. It is also positioned as a turnkey short-term rental, and a Drift Away Luxury Lodging STR investment package is available with three amenity scenarios and full revenue projections. Forest-front, renovated, furnished, and just over 10 minutes to town. Schedule your showing before someone else claims this view.
