About this home

The Kingston – A Legacy Mountain Retreat 25 Rantis Lane | The Jacobs Cottages at The Village of Cheshire Perched on a premier corner homesite just steps from storybook walking paths and meandering mountain streams, The Kingston is a rare union of timeless craftsmanship, grand scale, and unforgettable Blue Ridge Mountain views. Offered furnished, this custom residence spans over 6,000 total square feet of curated living space and rises into a signature King’s Tower with panoramic vistas of the Great Craggies and the Seven Sisters. From the moment you arrive, gas lanterns glow against rich Western Red Cedar timber framing, welcoming you onto a covered brick front porch that feels pulled from another era. Inside, wide-plank hardwoods, shiplap detailing, reclaimed oak accents, and five fireplaces create warmth and authenticity at every turn. Designed for gathering as beautifully as it is for retreat, the main level opens into an airy kitchen and living area anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. Step onto the covered rear deck to experience long-range mountain views beside an outdoor hearth. A butler’s pantry, mudroom, dog station, and private guest suite—with its own living room, kitchenette, laundry, fireplace, balconies, and deck—offer luxury and flexibility for hosting. Upstairs, three bedrooms and a study accompany a show stopping primary suite where sunrise spills across the mountains. Enjoy a spa bath with soaking tub, walk-in shower, and generous custom wardrobes with built-ins and a window seat perfectly placed for quiet moments above the valley. A conveniently located washer and dryer just outside the primary suite adds everyday ease without compromising elegance. The walk-out terrace level is made for celebration and relaxation alike: media and game spaces, an indoor/outdoor bar, sauna, additional bedroom and full bath, a dedicated laundry room, and fireplaces that extend the experience outdoors to a covered brick terrace. And crowning it all, the King’s Tower—an inspiring aerie to take in the full sweep of the kingdom below. 5 Bedrooms | 5.5 Baths | Elevator | 2-Car Garage | Furnished Whether envisioned as a full-time residence or an heirloom mountain escape, The Kingston delivers elevated living in the heart of one of Western North Carolina’s most beloved communities.
