About this home

Absolute Privacy & Adventure: 10+ Acre Legacy Estate Bordering USFS - Escape to a world of total serenity at 5232 Crow Creek Road. Tucked at the end of a private quarter-mile drive, this 10+ acre Lakemont estate offers a level of seclusion that is truly rare: you cannot see another house, and the nights are perfectly dark, illuminated only by the stars. Bordering the U.S. National Forest with direct access to endless trails, the property is a playground for outdoor enthusiasts. The grounds feature a babbling creek, two fenced pastures with some split-rail fencing, and a network of private ATV trails. For the gardener or hobby-farmer, you will find two garden areas, seven established blueberry bushes, and a high-output well. The main residence is a study in mountain-lodge elegance, beginning at the double car portico and timber supported breezeway and stone entry. Step into the foyer and you are immediately met by the grand open floor plan anchored by a massive rock fireplace, soaring ceiling with beams, stunning custom woodwork, cabinetry and finishes, curated light fixtures, coffee nook, a sleeping loft, and large kitchen island inviting everyone to gather. The main-level primary suite includes a dedicated sitting/reading area and direct access to a covered porch. The main level primary suite also features a stunning, custom-designed primary bathroom that perfectly embodies the "mountain lodge" elegance of the estate. This space has been curated to blend rustic warmth with high-end finishes. The centerpiece of the bathroom is a long, richly stained wood vanity. It is topped with a thick, dark wood countertop and features two beautiful, drop-in hammered copper sinks paired with oil-rubbed bronze vintage-style faucets. The walls feature a unique two-tone design. The lower half is finished with warm wood paneling, separated by a decorative pressed-tin backsplash. The split bedroom plan offers two comfortable guest rooms and a full bath with clawfoot tub on the opposite end of the home.

There is also a separate RV hookup (septic/electric/water), a second septic system already in place at a potential building spot near the USFS border.
