155 Mule Trail Dr, Bakersville, NC, 28705

What sets this custom-built Valley of Roan residence apart is the combination of crafted finishes and an immediate relationship with the mountains: panoramic views of Roan Mountain from the main living areas and clear winter views to Brown Mountain, with a year-round creek tracing one side of the property. Three Brazilian IPE hardwood decks step the house into the landscape — each a private vantage point for sunsets, bird life and the creek’s steady soundtrack.

Inside, the scale feels generous without losing warmth. Nearly 3,700 heated square feet include a primary suite and two additional bedrooms, all served by 3.5 baths. The kitchen reads like a working chef’s station: a Viking Commercial range with double ovens, integrated grill and griddle beneath a substantial commercial hood, paired with durable quartz counters. Special-run native maple floors sweep the main and second levels while luxury vinyl plank provides a resilient finish on the lower level. Native Douglas fir ceilings lend a rustic-modern tension that feels intentional and elevated.

Quality materials run from the exterior inward: Andersen 400 Series windows and doors frame the views, vinyl shaker siding and aluminum soffits simplify maintenance, and a metal roof promises long-term durability. Mechanical updates add practical value — two active wells and a new tankless hot water heater support both efficiency and self-sufficiency. The primary bath offers a Jacuzzi tub for soaking after a day on nearby trails.

Floor plan and finishes make the house flexible: a social main level ideal for entertaining, private upstairs bedroom wings, and a finished lower level that can accommodate guest space, studio or media. Outside spaces extend living with multiple decks and private wooded buffer created by the creek. Whether you’re seeking a full-time mountain residence or a turnkey getaway, this property blends privacy, durable construction and thoughtful custom touches.

Located within the Valley of Roan POA, this home is a rare combination of refined finish work and a site-oriented design that prioritizes long-view mountain panoramas and creekside serenity.
