Captivating 4 BR/4.5 BA on 6.5 acres bordering bold rushing stream in the heart of Valle Crucis. Gourmet Kitchen w/soap stone and granite counter tops & stainless appliances.

This custom designed and built four Bedroom, four and a half Bath home is perched above Crab Orchard Creek, a pristine mountain stream that rushes over huge boulders and is home to native brown and rainbow trout. The home is ideally tucked away on 6.5 acres of gently rolling mountain terrain with both cleared and wooded areas. The Lower Crab Orchard Road address puts the home just minutes from all Valle Crucis attractions including the Apple Barn, historic Mast Store, the Valle Crucis Community Park, and the Valle Crucis Elementary School.

The exterior of the home is surrounded by multiple outdoor living areas. Whether one chooses to relax on one of the open or covered decks or the flagstone patio with fire pit, the opportunities to enjoy the outdoors are never-ending.

The Great Room has vaulted wood ceilings with exposed beams and gorgeous hard wood floors. The stone fireplace at the end of the room is encased with large, double-hung windows with overhead transoms. A large, built-in entertainment center is strategically situated as to not obstruct the views of the pasture areas below or mountains in the distance.

Gourmet cooks will delight in the custom designed Kitchen. The counter tops over the majority of the cabinets are soap stone while the large center work island is topped with granite. The cabinets are a mix of painted finishes, both distressed white and black, offering the perfect contrast. The appliances are all stainless steel and include a gas cook top and oven. The beautiful hard wood floors and ceilings extend from the Great Room into the Kitchen. Adjacent to the Kitchen is a Laundry/Mud Room that leads into the over-sized two-car Garage.

The main floor Master Bedroom with wood floors and vaulted wood ceilings offers built-in storage cabinets and book shelves as well as generous closets. The adjoining Master Bath features a tile shower, circulating tub, and a double vanity topped with the most gorgeous granite.

Three spacious Guest Bedrooms and three full Baths are located on the lower level of this gracious mountain home. Also found on the lower level is a huge Family Room with a second fireplace and an abundance of built-in cabinets. The Office/Den, located off the Family Room, is a great getaway area to work or study. The lower level has windows on three sides bringing in much natural sunlight.
