This proposed 3-bedroom, 3-full-bath mountain home by Terra Futura Builders is designed to embrace its natural surroundings while offering the comfort, style, and sophistication of a modern mountain retreat. Set on 2.66 wooded acres at the end of a quiet road, this private setting offers a rare sense of seclusion with no drive-by traffic and the peaceful feeling of being immersed in nature. The proposed rustic-modern design combines natural materials, dark architectural accents, expansive windows, and warm, inviting details to create a sophisticated aesthetic that feels perfectly at home in the mountains. A spacious deck with a covered pergola extends the living space outdoors, creating an ideal setting for morning coffee, al fresco dining, entertaining, or relaxing among the trees. The land itself is part of the experience, with mature trees, native mountain laurel, natural rock formations, and established woodland creating a beautiful backdrop.

Inside, the proposed design emphasizes natural light, clean lines, quality materials, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Terra Futura Builders brings a values-aligned approach to construction, prioritizing sustainable, non-toxic, locally produced, and responsibly repurposed materials whenever practical, while remaining mindful of craftsmanship, functionality, and real-world budgets. Much of the groundwork has already been completed. Geotechnical, survey, and soil studies are in place, and a builder with a clear vision for the property has been selected.

The property is located within High Vista, a gated mountain community encompassing more than 500 acres of rolling hills, mature forests, and elevated terrain with beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain views.

Final plans, specifications, dimensions, landscaping, features, and construction details are subject to change and HOA architectural review and approval. Renderings are conceptual and intended to illustrate the proposed design. Make your mountain home dreams a reality!
