Some properties are just a place apart. One of those special places is the Red Oak Mountain Retreat. This 55 acre parcel features gently rising mountain land, a dramatic modernist house well positioned on the landscape, two bold running streams, and trails meandering through the woodlands. Enhanced by thoughtful landscaping that blends nicely into the forest beyond, Red Oak Mountain Retreat is a true escape from the rest of the world. RESIDENCE Sited on a bluff about two thirds of the way up Red Oak Mountain, the residence was created in 2023 by a noted architect as a retreat for his own family. The house is a sleek modern space designed to showcase the woodland landscape in all directions. Soothing interiors in neutral colors allow the dramatic wood grain of the hand-selected douglas fir trim to take pride of place. Modernist architecture with zen like placement of elements make this a calming retreat from the world. Large windows and high ceilings in all rooms bring the views and allow light to flood each space. The effect is a light and airy open living space in all rooms. Views of Bessie Bell Mountain and the surrounding countryside are visible in the winter months, but the rest of the year the house is enveloped in a wall of greenery cascading up and down the mountain. Rocky outcroppings at the house site have been incorporated into the landscape design and provide a focal point for the house entry way. On the back side of the house the dramatic floor to ceiling windows overlook a small valley with forested hillsides and mountains beyond. The house is an extremely private oasis of calm. Inside, carefully selected luxury finishes and energy efficient appliances and heating and cooling (including raidant heat in all floors) provide a sustainable living experience at the highest quality. GROUNDS The magic of Red Mountain Retreat is the utter privacy of the place. While the architecture blends seamlessly with the landscape, the mountainside is its own captivating source of pleasure. Old logging trails radiating from the house site allow for comfortable access to the mountain above and below. A trail near the property entrance follows along a streambed through the woodlands. Theres a lot to explore and absorb. OTHER Telecom: Broadband internet is provided by Piedmont Broadband. (Starlink is also available in this location). Cell phone coverage from T-Mobile and AT&T.
