Rare opportunity to own a stunning log chalet in the sought-after gated community of High Knob, where timeless mountain architecture meets an elevated sense of retreat. Set on just over an acre, this distinctive home offers an incredible combination of privacy, character, and accessibility. From the moment you step inside, rich natural textures make an impression with beautiful log interiors, warm pine ceilings and floors, and a dramatic cathedral ceiling framed by a wall of windows that fills the living space with natural light and brings the surrounding landscape into view. An impressive stone fireplace rises against the soaring ceiling, creating a striking focal point and an inviting setting for cozy evenings at home. The beautiful kitchen complements the home's rustic elegance with Silestone countertops and an expansive two-level island with breakfast bar seating, while the adjoining dining room leads directly to the rear deck for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining. Two bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level, offering flexibility for guests, family, or home office space. Upstairs, the private primary suite creates its own retreat with a spacious walk-in closet and en suite bath featuring a jetted soaking tub and separate standing shower. The finished lower level expands the living space with an oversized recreation room lined with plenty of windows for natural light, along with a bonus room and full bath ideal for guests, a home office, fitness space, or additional recreation. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a front deck, covered porch, and spacious rear deck overlooking the peaceful natural setting, where native wildlife can often be spotted moving through the surrounding landscape. A two-car garage and driveway provide generous parking and additional storage. Major improvements include a new ROOF installed in 2026 and HVAC replaced in 2022, adding peace of mind for years to come. Ideally positioned near the community entrance, the home offers the beauty and atmosphere of mountain living without the steep climb, with convenient access to Front Royal and I-66 at Linden. High Knob's gated setting and community pool complete the experience, offering a lifestyle that feels removed from the everyday while remaining remarkably connected. Distinctive in design, this exceptional chalet delivers privacy, versatility, natural beauty, and refined mountain living at its finest.
