Welcome to Balsam Mountain Preserve If you’ve been dreaming of a mountain getaway that is surrounded by nature yet has all the comforts of modern living, look no further. Balsam Mountain Preserve gives you the exclusive sanctuary of a private, gated community alongside the diverse sporting opportunities of North Carolina’s great outdoors.

The community has won many awards for both its family-friendly lifestyle and its golf and equestrian facilities.

All properties sold on auction day will include membership to the Balsam Mountain Preserve Club.

Two magnificent Balsam Mountain Preserve homes and one ready-to-build-on lot will be offered for absolute auction with no minimum or reserve bid.

The residence is offered completely furnished with Harden and Burton James handcrafted furniture. Simply move in and start your new, casually elegant lifestyle!

The open plan layout centers around the great room, where a cozy fire lures family and friends to relax and enjoy each other’s company. For easy entertaining, it’s just a few steps from here to the gourmet kitchen as well as a large deck and an outdoor living room with its own fireplace.

109 Cold Deck Way This luxurious mountain home blurs the boundaries between modern and traditional, indoors and out. You see it in the walls of windows showcasing panoramic mountain views; in the 1,600 sq. ft. of decks; and in the mix of materials such as wood, stone, glass and steel. Family and guests can flow effortlessly from the wet bar with wine cooler, to the cathedral-ceilinged great room, to the screenedin outdoor living room with a fireplace for cool evenings. After the party, you can retreat to your sumptuous master suite for a soothing soak in the jetted tub or a nightcap on the private patio.

Other fun activities have been designed for as well.

On the terrace level, there’s a large game room with space for anything from a pool table to a home theatre; as well as a den/sitting room with a builtin wet bar, mini refrigerator and entertainment system.
