Modern mountain luxury meets thoughtful, sustainable design in High Vista. This proposed 3-bedroom, 3-full-bath mountain home by Terra Futura Builders is designed to embrace its natural surroundings while offering the comfort, style, and sophistication of a modern mountain retreat. Set on 2.66 wooded acres at the end of a quiet road, this private setting offers a rare sense of seclusion with no drive-by traffic and the peaceful feeling of being immersed in nature. The proposed rustic-modern design combines natural materials, dark architectural accents, expansive windows, and warm, inviting details to create a sophisticated aesthetic that feels perfectly at home in the mountains. A spacious deck with a covered pergola extends the living space outdoors, creating an ideal setting for morning coffee, al fresco dining, entertaining, or relaxing among the trees. The land itself is part of the experience, with mature trees, native mountain laurel, natural rock formations, and established woodland creating a beautiful backdrop. The design is intended to complement the landscape rather than compete with it, with an emphasis on a thoughtful connection between the home and its natural surroundings. Inside, the proposed design emphasizes natural light, clean lines, quality materials, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Terra Futura Builders brings a values-aligned approach to construction, prioritizing sustainable, non-toxic, locally produced, and responsibly repurposed materials whenever practical, while remaining mindful of craftsmanship, functionality, and real-world budgets. Much of the groundwork has already been completed. Geotechnical, survey, and soil studies are in place, and a builder with a clear vision for the property has been selected. Rather than starting from scratch, you have the opportunity to take this thoughtfully developed concept and personalize select details and finishes to create the mountain home they have been searching for but have not found on the market. The property is located within High Vista, a gated mountain community encompassing more than 500 acres of rolling hills, mature forests, and elevated terrain with beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain views. Residents who choose to join the optional POA, gain access to Chestnut Mountain Golf Course, located within the community, as well as additional amenities including a mountain-view swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, playground, and putting green. Conveniently located just a short drive from Asheville Regional Airport and within easy reach of Hendersonville, and Brevard, High Vista offers the ideal balance of privacy, recreation, natural beauty, and accessibility. This is a rare opportunity to create a private mountain sanctuary that blends luxury, modern design, intentional craftsmanship, and respect for the land—a home designed not simply to sit in the mountains, but to belong there. This is a proposed new construction with Terra Futura Builders. Buyer will have the opportunity to personalize certain details and finishes. Final plans, specifications, dimensions, landscaping, features, and construction details are subject to change and HOA architectural review and approval. Renderings are conceptual and intended to illustrate the proposed design. Make your mountain home dreams a reality!
