Tucked into 3.5 lush acres near downtown Cedar Mountain and DuPont State Recreational Forest, Katsura is far more than a two-bedroom, one-bath home-it is a truly one-of-a-kind mountain living property where art, hand-crafted architecture, gardens and water come together. The heart of the home is its extraordinary artist-crafted stonework. Intricate, hand-painted rock walls transform the interior into works of art, with flowing patterns, organic forms and incredible detail that make the home unlike anything else in the area. The home offers two bedrooms and one bath, a kitchen with a beautiful, vintage Crescent wood stove in great condition adding a tad of history to its modern appliance counterparts. Step outside on the wrap-around deck and Katsura becomes its own private retreat. At the center of the landscape is a peaceful pond with 20-year-old koi, surrounded by mature trees, artisan-built cascading swimming pools, flowers and established areas for gardens. A charming covered dock with a living earth roof creates a magical spot for morning coffee, reading, yoga, music and entertaining or simply watching the koi move through the water. The pond and surrounding landscape offer a constantly changing view throughout the year, allowing you to experience the charm of every season from the comfort of home. For gardeners, the property offers exceptionally rich soil, established outdoor growing areas and a greenhouse ready for extending the growing season. A separate work shed provides space for tools, gardening equipment, hobbies or creative projects. Another dedicated outbuilding serves as a private sauna and exercise area, creating a wellness space just steps from your back door. Despite its wonderfully secluded feeling, Katsura is conveniently located near the small-business heart of Cedar Mountain and minutes from the waterfalls, hiking and world-class mountain biking of DuPont State Recreational Forest. Truly one of a kind!!
