This brand new mountain retreat (finished in March 2018) is unique and incomparable. Almond Trees Ranch is perched at 3400 ft elevation and offers a breathtaking view, seclusion and privacy, yet is close to all necessary amenities. It is just 15 minutes to Bryson City. This is not the typical, many-times-seen, wooden cabin.

Almond Tree Ranch is a spacious (approximately 2000 sqft), luxurious, open-floorplan house, which perfectly combines modern and traditional elements and blends beautifully into the mountain setting. Situated in a gated community with property sizes of at least 2 acres, the scenic drive to the top of the world is completely paved. To keep the charm, only the driveway to the house is graveled, and an all-wheel drive vehicle is strongly suggested!! The great room, with its 17 ft high vaulted ceiling and huge wall of south-facing windows, makes sure that you can catch and enjoy the views all day long. Here you can relax either in front of the pass-through gas fireplace (with remote control) on comfortable leather rocking chairs or gather with your family or friends on the plush leather sofas and chaise. There is a 65“ 4k LED SmarTV in the great room with Dish Network satellite service in case you just want to unwind from the exciting adventures of the day.

All dishes, silverware, etc. are available 12 times so you don’t need to worry about running out of it too quickly. The dining room offers a huge dining table with comfortable leather chairs. Also from the kitchen and dining you can enjoy the warmth and coziness of the see through fireplace.

Each of the 3 bedrooms has a king size bed, is uniquely decorated and equiped with a 4k LED SmarTV sized between 43“ and 49“, each also with Dish satellite service. In all bedrooms the lights can be dimmed to a level that suits your needs and in two bedrooms an adjustable color mood light system is available as well. Both bathrooms have a luxurious European-style double vanity with granite countertops, vessel sinks and high-quality European faucets from Hans Grohe. They also both have fully tiled showers and are equiped with European rainshower systems. The spa-like master bathroom features an oversized, freestanding soak-in bathtub.

Outside, the Almond Tree Ranch is offers an almost 60 ft wide deck which extends the complete width of the house and can be accessed from the great room and two of the bedrooms through the oversized sliding doors.
