A fully custom 2023 residence, poised on the 2nd hole of Toqua Golf Course in Tellico Village. Conceived by the homeowners in close collaboration with Rick Hatley and brought to life by Barone Builders, an exclusive custom builder, the home is composed with intention--every line, every finish, every customization considered for comfort, entertaining, and effortless year-round living. Arrival is gracious. A generous foyer give way to a living room designed for both intimate evenings and spirited gatherings. At the rear, floor-to-ceiling glass frames the fairway and fills the room with a wash of controlled natural light. Nearby, a formal dining space stands ready for friends and family. The kitchen is the jewel of the main level--and, in truth, two kitchens working in concert. The hosting kitchen is appointed with custom Englewood cabinetry, ceiling-height storage, soft-close doors and drawers, custom pullouts for spices and utensils, wide drawer bases, an induction cooktop, and an oversized, substantial island made for lingering and seamless dinner parties. A separate scullery keeps preparation and cleanup quietly out of sight, so the main kitchen remains composed even when the house is full. Just beyond, the sunroom invites coffee at first light or a cocktail as the course settles into evening--the same commanding view, a softer mood. An entire wing is reserved for the owners. The primary suite is magnificent: elevated fairway views, privacy intact. Separate vanities, a frameless walk-in shower, and refined tile throughout. The closet is tailored with custom organizers, double and long hanging, and dedicated shoe shelves. A wholly private primary office offers a place to work--or simply disappear--without disturbance. The oversized main-level garage accommodates two vehicles, a golf cart, and storage, and is finished with a 220 outlet for an electric vehicle charger. A wide staircase descends into a welcoming lower-level lounge area that thoughtfully walks out to the covered patio through a wall of double sliding glass doors allowing indoor and outdoor living. The covered patio is the evening room of the house, with spectacular views of the course. The wellness room is a private sanctuary complete with an infrared sauna and soaking tub. Three generous bedrooms, each large enough for a king, welcome guests with the same standard of comfort as the owners, with two full baths set to either side. Beneath the finish work is serious performance. Spray-foam insulation in all exterior walls, extra-depth spray-in insulation in the ceiling, energy-efficient windows, high-efficiency Carrier heat pumps on each level (the upstairs unit with LP gas assist), tankless hot water, LED lighting throughout, and 24-inch engineered floor trusses. An enclosed pocket sits inside the home's thermal envelope, so ducts and pipes run in conditioned space--quietly reducing energy loss compared with an unconditioned attic or crawl space. The sellers designed every inch of the residence and the low-maintenance landscape, a setting that will only deepen in beauty over time. Homes of this caliber--meticulously crafted, golf-course frontage, and so centrally placed in the Tellico lifestyle--rarely come to market.
