Welcome to Timber Sky Retreat at 140 Wormy Chestnut Rd, a renowned Al Platt-designed home featured in magazines and design websites. Originally built for the Oreck family, this architectural gem blends timeless craftsmanship with modern mountain luxury. From the moment you arrive, custom stonework and a tranquil water feature beneath a storybook-style bridge set the tone. Open the accordion doors on a misty morning and watch mountain fog glide across reSAWN™ reclaimed antique oak floors, merging indoor comfort with natural beauty. The expansive backyard is a haven for relaxation and play, featuring a cozy firepit, whimsical under-deck playhouse, breathtaking views, and direct access to Mountain Air’s scenic trails. Inside, every detail reflects warmth and refinement. Furnishings and three golf carts are negotiable. Buyers who purchase a full golf membership at the Country Club will receive a generous club credit—a perfect welcome to life at Mountain Air.
