A CRACKLING FIRE IN THE KITCHEN, THE SCREENED PORCH OPEN TO THE MOUNTAIN AIR-this is how Big Canoe living should feel. The remarkably large kitchen was designed for gathering, with solid maple cabinetry, an oversized island, extensive counter space and a separate prep station with its own sink. There is room for both a dining set and a comfortable keeping-room seating area beside the fireplace. Just beyond, the screened porch opens directly from the kitchen, bringing the fire, fresh air and sounds of the mountains together in one wonderful space. The backyard is just as special. A seasonal creek meanders through the property, which opens onto green space and creates a beautiful natural setting with added privacy. Located on the first street inside the North Gate, this sun-filled home makes coming and going remarkably easy. The owners are exceptionally fastidious-Mr. and Mrs. Clean really do live here-and their care is evident in every room. The hardwood floors have been newly refinished with a contemporary matte finish, the interior freshly painted and a new roof installed in 2024. A stone front porch leads into the great room, where large windows overlook the wooded backyard. Built-in bookcases frame the second of the home's THREE FIREPLACES. The finished terrace level provides another spacious living area with built-in bookcases, a wet bar and the third fireplace, giving family and guests a comfortable place of their own. The home has been maintained just as carefully behind the scenes. The main-level HVAC was replaced in 2023, the terrace-level HVAC in 2018, both water heaters in 2021 and the exterior was painted in 2023. A transferable termite bond includes retreat and repair coverage. Big Canoe offers resort-style mountain living within a private gated community, with golf, tennis, bocce, a beach club, boating, indoor and outdoor pools, fitness facilities, clubhouse dining and more than 27 miles of trails. The immaculate home may also be purchased turnkey.

Every Listing, Full Treatment

What a Rykman
listing page carries.

When live inventory connects, each property opens into a page built like our listings deserve. Here is the anatomy.

The Story

Presentation first.

Editorial photography, the property's point of view, and the facts that make its value legible in the first thirty seconds.

The Numbers

The full picture.

Price history, taxes, schools, and area context in one place, so you evaluate the deal, not just the photos.

The Move

One tap to act.

Book the showing or text the question directly from the page. Speed matters when the right house surfaces.

Ready When You Are

Never house-hunt
alone again.

The search is the easy part. The read, the offer, and the win are where representation earns its keep.
