About this home

Discover the pinnacle of modern luxury in this 2024 architectural masterpiece, perfectly positioned as a private mountain-top sanctuary on seven sprawling acres. Behind a secure gated entrance, a winding drive leads to a stunning 4,252-square-foot residence designed to blend high-end contemporary living with the serene beauty of the Blue Ridge foothills and picturesque views of Table Rock, Hawksbill, and Mt Mitchell. The heart of the home is a magnificent great room, where soaring ceilings and dramatic 30-foot-tall floor-to-ceiling windows create an immediate immersion into nature, flowing seamlessly into a professional-grade chef’s kitchen featuring expansive quartz countertops, an induction range, and dual high-capacity refrigerator/freezers. The main-level primary suite offers ultimate convenience with a dual-sided tiled shower and a massive walk-in closet with direct laundry access, while the upstairs features a large loft, two bedrooms, and a full bath. Two offices in the home and high-speed internet make remote work a breeze. The walk-out lower level serves as a complete guest retreat or recreation hub. Engineered for the future and off-grid ready, the home features a complete solar panel array, two Tesla Powerwall 3 backup batteries, dual EV charging stations, and is wired/plumbed for an outdoor wood boiler. Outdoor living is redefined by expansive wraparound decking with hot tub wiring, established fruit trees, RV pad with water/power/sewer hookups, and a level sanded clearing ready for equestrian or recreational use.
