Step inside this one-of-a-kind home designed by architect Gary Best to give the owners a feeling of living among the trees. Set atop a peak nestled between trees and overlooking wooded valleys in the beautiful Retreat at Butterfly Gap, this home offers genuine seclusion while being less than eight miles from downtown Maryville. As the home located at the top of the gated neighborhood, the views looking out through the trees toward Maryville are unmatched. Feel like you are on vacation in the National Park without the long drive to town. Inside, the high end finishes and thoughtful touches by the builder will inspire you. Gazebo ceilings in the living room and kitchen make the space brighter and more open, setting the tone for the rest of the home. The primary suite with large walk-in closet connects to the laundry area and the primary bathroom comes with a large, tiled walk-in shower with dual shower heads, creating that spa-like treatment without needing to leave home. If that's not enough, outside is a screened porch to enjoy the trees and sounds of leaves rustling, water flowing, and birds chirping. Keep an eye out for turkeys and other wildlife that frequent the property. And if you want to spend more time outside, the home has an attached workshop/storage area on the 2-car carport. That along with the neighborhood amenities including a creek-fed pond with multiple docks, a quiet overlook to enjoy the view of Chilhowee Mountain and the valley below, and a neighborhood gym facility overlooking the water make this home and community a place you'll never want to leave. This incredibly designed home, tucked in one of Blount County's most distinctive gated communities is a rare find in this market and will not last long. Schedule your private showing today.
