501 Apple Hill Ln

Breathtaking long-range mountain views, exceptional privacy, and a fascinating local history come together in this one-of-a-kind retreat! Tucked away in a small, private gated community, this impressive home sits on a 1-acre corner lot and showcases panoramic views stretching all the way to Winston-Salem, Pilot Mountain, and Mount Airy. A massive deck spans the entire length of the home and wraps around the side, creating the perfect setting for morning coffee, entertaining, or simply soaking in the scenery. The walk-out basement opens to a full-length patio featuring a hot tub hookup and porch swing for even more outdoor enjoyment. Inside, the main level offers an inviting open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area with vaulted ceilings and a wall of windows designed to capture the spectacular views. Beautiful hardwood floors flow throughout the main level, which includes 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and laundry. The expansive lower level is an entertainer's dream, featuring a massive great room with soaring ceilings, a stunning stone gas-log fireplace, kitchenette, space for a pool table and games, and room to gather with family and friends. A spacious guest room with its own full bathroom provides excellent privacy for visitors, while a large workshop/storage room offers abundant flexibility. Adding a truly special touch to this property, the home was once owned by well-known local author C. David Gelly, who wrote all of his books here. A rare opportunity to own a private mountain retreat with unforgettable views, generous living space, and a story of its own!
