Watershed Pointe D - Smoky Mountain Modern, Smart Home mit Sonnenuntergangsblick

Perched high on a quiet ridge at the edge of the property, **Watershed Pointe D** represents the pinnacle of modern luxury within Watershed Resort’s exclusive "Smoky Mountain Modern" collection. This architecturally striking retreat blends industrial-chic design with elevated mountain living, wrapping high-end comforts in panoramic views of Clingmans Dome to the north and the Nantahala Gorge to the west.

Enormous glass walls, soaring sloped ceilings, and exposed beams frame stunning western sunset views. Polished, radiant-heated concrete floors run throughout the open layout, while grand sliding doors collapse to seamlessly merge the interior with a fully covered outdoor patio. Relax inside by the sleek LED fireplace, or step outside to enjoy the propane fire pit with plush seating, an outdoor shower, and a private hot tub overlooking the trees.
