127 Little Round Top Lane, Townsend, TN 37882 (MLS# 254551)

Peace, tranquility, location, and style. Welcome to Windsong, one of the most unique properties you will ever experience in the Great Smoky Mountains. Located just over the Sevier County/Blount County line, the property is better described as being in Wears Valley than it's technical address of Townsend. Just moments from the Metcalf Bottoms entrance to the National park in the Valley, the cabin's location couldn't be better. Nestled among dozens of curated Japanese maples, old-growth hardwoods, and massive rock structures, the first thing that captures a visitor's eye and soul, is the Zen garden. Modeled after those found in Kyoto, Japan, world-renowned for its exquisite Zen karesansui gardens and on the same latitude with an identical climate, this garden is from what feels like the other side of the world but looks right at home in the Smokies. Mosses, all hand chosen, have been meticulously cared-for to create a one-of-a-kind, Asian-inspired Smoky Mountain oasis. Throughout the property, you'll find natural beauty and quirky accents. It's an incredible place to visit, even before you step inside what can only be described as a work of art. The name of the cabin is Windsong and it's built to embrace both wind and music. Cool mountain breezes fill the cabin thanks to massive glass sliders that open the entire southern wall to nature. Outside on the deck, aluminum grates creative a maintenance-free perch upon which to watch dazzling sunsets in every season. Speakers, both inside and out, create a seamless audio experience. Electric, remote control blinds in the great room mean that you can filter out direct sunlight with the push of a button, without losing the stunning views of nature. With materials gathered from around the world, the owners of this cabin have lovingly crafted one of the most highly-styled properties without compromising the natural beauty of this cabin. It's bold where it needs to be, demure where it doesn't, but with a sense of continuity that pulls it all together. Both completely-custom full bathrooms let in the natural beauty and light of the surroundings through picture windows and skylights. With two formal bedrooms, both on the main level, and an additional sleeping loft and ensuite full bath, the Windsong sleeps six. In the loft, custom-designed shelves, secret compartments, and drawers provide ample storage. Seamless wood and steel wire handrails escort you up into the loft where you'll also find a generous sitting area to admire the view through the top windows. The property is offered with an adjoining parcel of approximately 4-acres with a water well already drilled, creating a natural buffer around Windsong or perhaps an opportunity to build new experiences close by. This is the perfect fusion of asian influence with the gorgeous Great Smoky Mountains. This is peace and serenity. This is style and comfort. This is Windsong, and you'll never experience anything like it again, anywhere.
