Nestled in the lush canopy of the exclusive Melrose Mountain subdivision, this 2023-built retreat offers the pinnacle of modern mountain living. The home welcomes you directly into a stunning gourmet kitchen designed for the culinary enthusiast, featuring an oversized social island and a premium appliance suite with a Bosch dishwasher and a professional 36-inch Forno stove w/ cafe doors and Forno refrigerator. Just beyond the kitchen, the open-concept layout is flooded with natural light, revealing an airy great room anchored by a warm gas fireplace. The main level is thoughtfully designed for convenience and flow, featuring two bedrooms joined by a shared Jack-and-Jill bath and a functional hallway laundry. Upstairs, the privacy continues with a third bedroom featuring its own private ensuite bath, creating a secluded getaway or secondary suite. Outdoor living is maximized with a massive covered side deck-a private retreat in the trees ideal for alfresco dining or morning coffee as you enjoy the seasons unfold -while a welcoming front porch provides a classic entry point to this light-filled contemporary gem. Residents of Melrose Mountain enjoy resort-style amenities, including two private lakes (one for swimming with a beach and one for fishing), a community dock, a picnic area, a clubhouse, and a tennis court that doubles for pickleball. Located just 30 minutes from the world-renowned Tryon International Equestrian Center and minutes from downtown Tryon's boutiques, fine dining, and local vineyards, this home offers the perfect balance of Blue Ridge wilderness and luxury.
