This mountain chalet in beautiful Fairview is a rare find. Throughout, you will find many built-in features that maximize the space – with convertible fixtures, like the drop-down table in the kitchen and the desks in the loft, the murphy bed in the living room surrounded by built-in shelves and cabinets, and other hidden storage areas, you will appreciate the thoughtful and practical design. The original owners lived on a sailboat for many years and understood the importance of smart design when living in small spaces. The home comes with a generator and designated generator panel in the breaker box for peace-of-mind in an outage. The outbuilding offers flexible space for a shed or workshop. Relax in a hammock by the stream or enjoy a long soak in the hot tub. The Rinnai tankless water heater ensures a steady supply of hot water. Potential second homesite already cleared. Post-Helene updates: The home itself had no damage. Neighborhood roads were repaired using HOA-collected FEMA grants (new culverts, retaining wall, gravel). The spring water system was fully rebuilt after Helene and tested bacteria-free in October 2024. Now back to what makes this home special - the split-face block basement walls add a natural stone-like aesthetic that blends perfectly with the mountain setting, where towering hardwoods and diverse native wildlife of the Southern Blue Ridge surround you in every season. This is mountain living at its finest – come experience it for yourself.
