Description
Set on a private 2.13-acre lot in the gated Bear Cliff community, this single-family residence combines luxury living with a rare, engineered resiliency package. The property is adjacent to protected federal land, providing long-term privacy, a natural buffer, and stable surroundings. Native landscaping, a circular driveway, and a double garage create a low-maintenance exterior that complements the home’s efficient design. The home’s infrastructure emphasizes safety, redundancy, and year-round reliability. Power systems include an owned solar array, a whole-home generator, generator backup power, and dual underground 500-gallon propane tanks. These systems support gas appliances, extended generator runtime, reduced operating costs, and off-grid capability during grid disruption. Remote monitoring allows key systems to be viewed and controlled from a cellphone, making the property easy to manage whether occupied full-time, seasonally, or during extended absence. Storm and site infrastructure includes engineered drainage designed to manage heavy rainfall, runoff, and stormwater flow. A dedicated lightning protection system safeguards the roofline, structure, and electrical systems. Underground utilities, underground power lines, well water, and septic further enhance reliability. Together, these components create a comprehensive resiliency profile rarely found in mountain-lake properties. Inside, the home offers single-level living with a true ranch layout and functional circulation. Premium hardwood floors add warmth and durability. The updated chef’s kitchen features a Wolf gas cooktop, Café double oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator, kitchen island, bar fridge, microwave, dishwasher, and exhaust hood. The spacious primary suite includes heated floors, a custom closet, and insulated windows. Additional rooms include a living room, family room, dining area, office, media room, recreation room, flex space, and utility room. A tankless water heater, radiant floor heating, heat pump, ceiling fans, and electric cooling support comfort and efficiency. The lower level includes a large basement workshop, ideal for tools, projects, hobbies, storage, or golf carts. An oversized concrete pad provides RV parking, boat parking, and space for trailers or utility vehicles. The property includes a deck, screened porch, and enclosed porch, offering multiple outdoor living areas with long-range mountain views, year-round views, and winter views of the surrounding landscape. Located minutes from Lake James and Pisgah National Forest, the home offers immediate access to boating, kayaking, fishing, hiking, and miles of protected shoreline. Bear Creek Marina is a short drive away for convenient lake access. The Bear Cliff community provides gated entry, affordable HOA dues, and a well-kept environment close to Marion’s shopping and dining. This rare combination of solar energy, whole-home generator, propane reserves, security system, remote monitoring, engineered drainage, lightning protection, native landscaping, single-level living, oversized garage, basement workshop, RV parking, boat parking, acreage, views, and protected federal land adjacency makes this home an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking long-term comfort, confidence, and low-maintenance living in a beautifully maintained mountain-lake setting.
