Nestled on a knolltop in beautiful Madison County, close to magical Marshall, this charming mountain retreat offers stunning year-round views, privacy, and the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. Escape to your private sanctuary, or in minutes, find yourself strolling down Marshall's main street full of local restaurants, distinctive art galleries, and cozy coffee shops. Step inside to an airy, open-concept floor plan defined by soaring vaulted wood ceilings, warm wood accents, and massive prow-front windows that perfectly frame your year-round mountain views. The heart of the home features a cozy living room anchored by a classic wood-burning fireplace and a central kitchen island, ideal for casual morning coffee or evening entertaining. The main level hosts a comfortable bedroom and full bath, while the upper level is dedicated to a peaceful primary loft oasis. A private, multi-functional bonus room, perfect for a guest space, home office, media den, or creative studio, is located in the partly finished basement with both inside and walk-out access. Outside, extensive decking, a hot tub, a fire pit area, and a spacious yard create the ideal setting for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying peaceful mountain evenings under the stars. Watch the sun rise over the ridgetops, spot deer and wild turkey crossing the yard, or watch the neighbors' cows graze peacefully at the distant fence line. For the investor, this property is incredibly low-maintenance and highly practical. It features a massive three-car garage space (perfect for a game room or ping-pong setup), an abundance of driveway parking that can easily accommodate an RV, and a dedicated, locked supply room in the basement.
