Something different landed on Beech Mountain. Overlook Homes— known for builds that actually mean something — has delivered a custom, FULLY FURNISHED, A-frame at 122 Wintergreen Way that earns the word custom in every room, on every wall, at every turn. The bones are right: pine siding warm as a campfire, a standing seam metal roof built to outlast the decade, and that unmistakable A-frame silhouette tucked into the hardwood canopy like it was always supposed to be there. Step inside and the white oak does the talking. Custom stairs, bunk built-ins, and shelving — all white oak, all made for this house specifically. The Humm indoor sauna is the kind of detail that separates a spec house from a project someone cared about. The rooftop deck and hot tub make the treetop views something you can sit in, not just look at. The kitchen is fully appointed — refrigerator, dishwasher, range — with a tankless gas water heater and freestanding gas stove rounding out a mechanical package that performs as well as the finishes suggest it should. Washer/dryer combo means longer stays without the math. Sleeps six comfortably. New construction. No deferred maintenance. No compromises borrowed from the builder's budget. Just a house on a mountain, done right.

Knotty pine tongue-and-groove walls, exposed joists with traditional wooden pegs, and large Pella windows in the living room give the home plenty of character without sacrificing comfort. A propane furnace installed just two years ago helps keep things cozy year-round. The kitchen is surprisingly functional for a cabin getaway. It's fully equipped and thoughtfully organized, right down to labeled cabinets, and has comfortably handled everything from weekend trips to full Thanksgiving dinners. Outside, you'll find a covered porch that feels like an extra living room, along with a hot tub, fire pit area, and plenty of parking.

The setting feels peaceful and removed without being inconveniently far from shopping, dining, and outdoor recreation. The property has been well maintained and is currently set up as a short-term rental, making it easy to continue as an investment, personal getaway, or primary home.
