Welcome to Balsam Mountain

Preserve

Rustic influences meet contemporary convenience

in this spectacular home surrounded by sweeping

mountain views. Deluxe finishes include white pine

lap walls, solid knotty pine arch-top doors, custom

tile, cabinetry and ironwork, granite countertops

and cultured stone fireplaces, creating a look that’s

at once natural and sophisticated. The residence

is offered completely furnished with Harden and

Burton James handcrafted furniture. Simply move

in and start your new, casually elegant lifestyle!

The open plan layout centers around the great

room, where a cozy fire lures family and friends

to relax and enjoy each other’s company. For easy

entertaining, it’s just a few steps from here to the

gourmet kitchen as well as a large deck and an

outdoor living room with its own fireplace. And

when you want to share your mountain sanctuary

with long-term guests or family, a carriage house

apartment over the garage is waiting to envelop

them in comfortable luxury.

1345 Preserve Road

Every bit of the dramatic mountain backdrop is

visible from this impressive room with 27 vertical

feet of floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as doors

to a spacious deck. Tinted windows on the entire

main floor help preserve the beautiful hardwood

walls and floors. The massive fireplace is made of

stacked stone with a custom wood mantelpiece.

You’ll find yourself coming back to this room time

and time again — to drink in the mountains’

serenity along with your morning coffee, snuggle

up to the fire with a good book or a good friend,

or throw the best party of the season (there’s plenty

of room for the whole crowd).

SOUTHERN C’s RANCH10

With its custom glazed alder wood cabinetry and

cast iron farmhouse sink, the style may be rustic

but the equipment is totally 21st century in this

supremely functional eat-in kitchen. The suite of

Thermador ProfessionalTM stainless steel appliances,

especially the six-burner, double-oven gas stove,

handles your highest flights of culinary creativity,

while the countertops are granite for the ultimate

in long wear and easy care. A walk-in pantry with

built-in shelves provides plenty of extra storage

space for all your gourmet necessities.

GourmetKitchen

A soaring 20-ft. ceiling with exposed beams sets

the stage for this luxurious, mountain-style retreat

with walk-in closet. Sunlight pours in through

multiple windows, and double doors open out

onto a private balcony that’s perfect for quiet

moments watching the sunrise, or star-gazing

before turning in. The sitting area built-in window

seat offers another comfy spot for curling up to

watch the wildlife in the forest just outside.

MasterSuite

Guest Bedroom

For pure indulgence, the master bath would be

hard to beat. Outfitted with custom tile, granite

countertop and oil-rubbed bronze fixtures, it

features a large walk-in shower with fixed and

handheld showerheads. And when you’re in the

mood for ultimate relaxation, choose a long, hot

soak in the tub as you gaze out over the treetops to

the endless mountain ranges.

MasterBath

For more intimate gatherings, choose this relaxed

and comfortable room. Invite friends over to watch

the big game and serve them drinks from the built-

in wet bar. On chilly days, light a fire in the stacked

stone fireplace; in summer, throw open the doors

to yet another of the home’s decks to catch a cool

mountain breeze. Berber carpeting provides a

practical and attractive floor covering.

Terrace LevelFamily Room

Guest Suites

Each of the two guest suites in the main house is its

own oasis of luxury, with en suite full bath and door

to a deck for private viewing of the magnificent

mountain scenery. The third guest suite is located

above the detached garage with its own entrance,

perfect for accommodating extended family or

guests. This apartment includes a full bath, walk-

in closet and custom end-of-bed storage benches

for stowing suitcases.

Porch View

Porch View An amazing 1,470 sq. ft. of deck space allows you

to take full advantage of western North Carolina’s

incomparable mountain views. The forest-covered

peaks in the distance are part of the Blue Ridge

Mountains, famed for their scenic drives and

outdoor sporting opportunities. Adding to the

ambiance is the soothing sound of a waterfall feature

in the backyard.

This luxurious mountain home blurs the boundaries between modern and traditional, indoors and out. You see it in the walls of windows showcasing panoramic mountain views; in the 1,600 sq. ft. of decks; and in the mix of materials such as wood, stone, glass and steel. Family and guests can flow effortlessly from the wet bar with wine cooler, to the cathedral-ceilinged great room, to the screened-in outdoor living room with a fireplace for cool evenings. After the party, you can retreat to your sumptuous master suite for a soothing soak in the jetted tub or a nightcap on the private patio.

Other fun activities have been designed for as well. On the terrace level, there’s a large game room with space for anything from a pool table to a home theatre; as well as a den/sitting room with a built-in wet bar, mini refrigerator and entertainment system. Your guests may never want to leave — and they don’t have to with a kitchenette apartment over the detached carport for them to stay in.

109 Cold Deck Way

This is truly modern mountain architecture on

a grand scale. The soaring vaulted ceiling allows

plenty of space below for walls of windows and

glass doors to the decks, allowing the sunlight to

flood in. The open floor plan creates a spacious,

versatile area for entertaining, as guests can wander

from the bar with wine cooler to the massive,

stacked stone fireplace with boxes for both gas and

wood fires; or out onto the decks for a barbecue or

simply viewing nature up close.

Great Room

109 Cold Deck Way - Sylva, NCwww.GrandEstatesAuction.com

This efficient kitchen is packed with deluxe features

to meet your cooking, serving and clean-up needs

with ease. Sub ZeroTM and Viking ProfessionalTM

stainless steel appliances offer state-of-the-art

capabilities. The open plan gives the chef extra

convenience with an eat-in breakfast/cocktail bar

with wine cooler on one side and a pass-through

to the dining room on the other. Granite coun-

tertops, custom Snaidero Italian cabinetry and

halogen track lighting make this galley kitchen as

elegant as it is practical.

Kitchen

Talk about a room with a view! Imagine regaling

your dinner party guests with a breathtaking forest

vista through a wall of windows for them to enjoy

along with your gourmet treats. After dinner,

invite them to step out through the door onto the

covered deck to sip their coffee surrounded by the

sounds, scents and sights of unspoiled nature. The

dining room also has built-in cabinetry for conve-

nient dinnerware storage and service.

Dining Room

Master Suite

Tucked away on one side of this mountain-style

home is a secluded retreat with sophisticated

luxuries such as you might find in the most modern

mansion. The suite encompasses a walk-in closet

with built-in shelving, an office and, most

importantly, a private patio bordered by the forest.

In the master bath, you can choose between a

sybaritic soak in the jetted tub or the equally

luxurious shower with fixed and handheld show-

erheads. Crystal cabinets, a granite double

vanity and a separate water closet complete this

elegant bath.

Make what you desire of this large, multi-purpose

room with rustic accents of wood beams, hard-

wood floor and a wall of stacked stone. Challenge

your friends to a game of pool, let the kids have a

slumber party, turn it into a cool man cave ... the

possibilities are endless!

Game Room

This fabulous space with mountain views on three

sides gives you the feeling that you’re completely in

nature, yet protected from the elements. It’s perfect

for alfresco breakfast or lunch, or simply settling

back in your rocking chair to watch the changing

seasons. When night falls, gather family and friends

around the stacked stone gas/wood-burning fire-

place (whose other side is in the great room) to

talk, laugh, toast marshmallows, or look for

pictures in the dancing flames.
