Description

Set on nearly 10 private acres at over 3, 500 feet in elevation, 315 Bears Paw Trail is a singular expression of architectural elegance and environmental integrity. One of the only residences in Macon County to achieve LEED Silver certification, this exceptional property embodies a rare balance of sustainability, craftsmanship, and seclusion. Located within an exclusive mountaintop gated community, it offers a refined high-elevation lifestyle free from the congestion and commercial footprint of nearby resort towns—an enclave prized for its sweeping panoramic vistas, unspoiled natural surroundings, and peaceful sense of retreat. Inside, the home reveals a study in quiet luxury. Five spacious bedrooms, five full baths, and a half bath are thoughtfully designed within a stunning timber frame structure crafted from locally sourced southern yellow pine. Wide-plank Appalachian oak flooring, native stone fireplaces, and curated architectural details create a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere throughout. Every space reflects intentional design, from multiple library areas to a professional-grade home theater and a private guest apartment ideal for extended stays. A breezeway connects the main residence to a generous three-car garage, intentionally detached to preserve air quality within the home. For those with a passion for gardening, a separate potting shed offers dedicated space for cultivation and creativity. Engineered with both sustainability and efficiency in mind, the home is oriented along a near true north-south axis to maximize passive solar gain. A solar array and a vertical wind turbine are integrated into the grid, allowing the property to harness renewable energy and return excess power for credit. Additionally, rainwater from half the roof is collected into a 1, 000-gallon reservoir, supporting landscaping needs during drier seasons. Timeless in design, private in setting, and deeply connected to its natural surroundings, this is mountain living at its most refined.
