New construction in River Mill, a charming gated community along the banks of the Watauga River, this thoughtfully crafted mountain home blends rustic Western character with refined modern finishes. Built by a local builder with roots in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, the home draws inspiration from classic mountain architecture with circle-sawn ceilings and trim, reclaimed Kentucky horse-fence flooring, rough-sawn board-and-batten siding, and a striking reclaimed timber-frame entry. Elevated finishes throughout include custom cabinetry with quartz countertops, designer tile selections, and champagne gold fixtures that add warmth and sophistication. Designed for comfort and efficiency, the home features a sealed crawlspace system, spray foam and batt insulation, and Sierra Pacific windows and doors for year-round energy performance. River Mill offers a peaceful mountain setting with shared access to the Watauga River and a community pond. Enjoy some of the High Country's best outdoor recreation with easy access to cycling, canoeing, kayaking, tubing, and trout fishing right outside your door. A nearby public access point makes for an easy 2-to-3-hour river float, while a scenic drive or bike ride down Watauga River Road leads to the Original Mast General Store and the heart of Valle Crucis, just 4 +/- miles away.
