Welcome to 136 Wilderness Drive, an exceptional luxury home set on 2.3 private acres in the gated community of The Ridges at Tellico Lake. Just 2½ years old, this meticulously maintained residence offers 2,592 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, including a finished bonus room above the oversized two-car garage. With water access ideal for fishing or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, this property offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and refined living. Step inside to a light-filled great room where 10-foot ceilings, expansive windows, and a natural gas log fireplace with brick surround and wood mantel create a warm yet sophisticated focal point. The open-concept layout flows seamlessly into the kitchen and dining area, designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining, while views of the covered deck and tranquil backyard draw you outdoors. The kitchen is both stunning and functional, featuring a large waterfall-edge granite island, stainless farmhouse sink, and stylish pendant lighting. A hidden walk-in pantry with butcher block counters adds charm and practicality. High-end ZLine stainless appliances include a six-burner gas cooktop with vented hood, wall oven, microwave drawer, dishwasher, and a four-door refrigerator. Custom shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, under-cabinet lighting, and a full-height tile backsplash complete the space. The primary suite offers a true retreat, highlighted by a large picture window overlooking the backyard and a spacious walk-in closet with custom shelving and direct access to the laundry room. The spa-inspired bath features dual vanities, elegant fixtures, a soaking tub, and a floor-to-ceiling tiled walk-in shower with rain head and handheld option, plus a private water closet. Two additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for guests, complemented by a beautifully appointed full bath with a tiled shower and glass enclosure. A dedicated office with built-ins, a stylish half bath, and a mudroom with drop zone enhance functionality. The oversized, fully conditioned garage is equipped with its own HVAC system, EV-ready 220V outlet, dog wash station, storage, tankless water heater, and exterior access. Above, the finished bonus room offers flexible space for a media room, gym, or guest suite with its own climate control. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with Hardie Plank siding, professional landscaping, irrigation, and landscape lighting. Enjoy the covered front porch with tongue-and-groove ceiling, or relax on the vaulted back deck overlooking a fenced yard. A paver patio and stone gas firepit create the perfect setting for gatherings, all connected by a thoughtfully designed walkway.
