Welcome to 197 Cherry Knob, a mountaintop masterpiece in the prestigious, gated Wolf Laurel community, where luxury and comfort meet in a 5,300 acre natural sanctuary, surrounded by the Pisgah National Forest, SE Trust Land and the Mars Hill Watershed. This custom-designed retreat offers an open-concept layout with sweeping long-range mountain views from nearly every room. Designed for effortless everyday living, the main level features three spacious bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bath, providing privacy and refinement for residents and guests alike. The light-filled great room flows onto a full-length deck, ideal for entertaining, dining al fresco, or quiet mornings above the clouds. An elevator connects all levels, leading to a lower-level haven with stylish bar and wine cellar, a second primary suite with lavish ensuite and generous walk-in closet, plus a dedicated office with custom built-ins and full bath. Home offered turn key. Set in Wolf Laurel, residents enjoy a true four-season lifestyle surrounded by cool high-elevation air, protected mountain vistas, and abundant recreation. Optional Village Club membership provides access to the pool, sports courts, pickleball, tennis, playground, outdoor pavilion, stocked trout pond, and event center. Optional Wolf Laurel Country Club membership adds an acclaimed 5-star golf course, 24-hour fitness center, restaurant, and bar. Enjoy 50 miles of internal hiking trails, or step onto the Appalachian Trail from multiple community access points. Be sure to take advantage of the new Hatley Ski Resort with year-round dining at Smoke & Timber and a downhill bike park slated for spring 2026. Everyday conveniences can be found close by in the nearby towns of Mars Hill (15 minutes), Weaverville (25 minutes), Burnsville (20 minutes) Asheville (45 minutes), and Johnson City, TN (45 minutes). Both with regional airports. Come see why they call us the Jewel of the Blue Ridge Mountain. ***This home is located within The Ridges HOA governance which does not allow short or long term rentals***
