Take flight at Mariposa Ridge! Conveniently located only 3.5 miles from downtown Black Mountain, this gorgeous home offers spectacular year-round mountain views from the spacious fenced yard and in-ground pool (in season). The private in-ground pool and poolside cabana at Mariposa Ridge provide the perfect spot for family and friends looking to spend the day playing and relaxing! If a breathtaking, year-round vista is what you're after, you've found a place where each changing season works its own special magic on the landscape. Discover sunny days and green peaks in spring and summer, vibrant foliage lighting up the horizon in the fall, and expansive views that seem to go on forever in winter. Plus, the night skies are full of stars! Vacation in style at this bright and cheerful family home. The open-concept living area features a wood fireplace and views of mountains on the horizon. Watch a movie as a group, or for those who prefer a quieter moment, a second TV area on the upper level offers space to spread out. The fully-equipped modern kitchen makes cooking for everyone a breeze, plus there's easy access from the kitchen to the yard area, a definite perk during pool season. After a long day of swimming, you'll appreciate the comfort of the home's primary suite on the main level and three upper-level bedrooms. The soaking tub in the main level bedroom is just right before bed, one of many ways to unwind at this beautiful home. A basketball hoop in the driveway is great for kids and upper and lower parking areas provide easy access to the home in all seasons.
