143 Gracie Lane, Mills River, NC

In the gated enclave of High Vista, architecture yields to the topography, orienting living spaces toward expansive long-range mountain views and the tenth hole of the community golf course. Completed in 2019, this 4,472-square-foot residence occupies a discrete position at the terminus of a cul-de-sac, offering a level of privacy that complements its four-bedroom, four-bathroom layout. The interior volume is defined by twelve-foot ceilings and a glass-walled great room anchored by a stone fireplace. A commitment to materiality is evident in the kitchen’s custom cherry cabinetry and granite surfaces, while the vaulted screened porch provides a transitional space for formal hosting. In the current Mills River submarket, inventory within established gated communities remains exceptionally lean, as discerning buyers increasingly prioritize turnkey custom builds that offer immediate proximity to both Asheville and Hendersonville. This property represents a refined intersection of elevation and accessibility for the regional collector. Private viewings may be arranged through Peters & Associates.

About the home

Breathtaking long-range mountain views overlooking the 10th hole of the golf course create an extraordinary backdrop for this exceptional custom home, tucked away at the end of a private cul-de-sac within gated High Vista. With views from nearly every room and remarkable attention to detail throughout, the home is every bit as impressive as its setting. A striking arched wood front door opens to a soaring 12-foot entry and a stunning great room featuring a stone fireplace and walls of glass framing the extraordinary views. The open living area flows seamlessly to incredible outdoor living spaces, including an expansive deck and vaulted screened porch—perfect for entertaining, relaxing or simply taking in the surrounding mountains and golf-course setting. The thoughtfully designed kitchen features custom cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a large center island and walk-in pantry. Just beyond the kitchen, the dining room captures incredible mountain and golf-course views and opens directly to the vaulted screened porch, creating a seamless connection for indoor-outdoor dining and entertaining. The main-level primary suite is a peaceful retreat with a spacious sitting area, private deck access, dual walk-in closets and a beautifully finished bath featuring custom cherry cabinetry, separate vanities, a soaking tub and frameless glass shower. An additional en-suite bedroom on the main level provides privacy and convenience for guests, while a large laundry room with abundant storage adds exceptional everyday functionality. The expansive bonus room above the garage offers endless possibilities as a home office, media room, fitness space or hobby room. The finished lower level gives everyone room to gather and unwind, featuring a generous den with a second fireplace, an entertainment kitchen and two private bedroom suites. Abundant storage and a dedicated equipment garage—ideal for golf-cart storage, a workshop or recreational gear—further enhance the home’s versatility. Outdoor living continues on the lower-level patio, offering another inviting place to enjoy the golf course and long-range mountain views. The High Vista amenities membership, offering access to the pool, clubhouse, tennis and additional social amenities, will convey with the property—an estimated $5,000 value. With multiple gathering spaces, four private bedroom suites and flexible areas for work, guests and recreation, this thoughtfully designed custom home truly has room for everyone. A rare opportunity to enjoy privacy, exceptional craftsmanship, long-range mountain views and the extraordinary High Vista lifestyle.
