About this home

Sweeping 180-degree western-facing views of Grandfather Mountain provide a breathtaking backdrop for this extraordinary mountain estate, privately situated on 20 acres of beautifully curated grounds and native landscape. Crafted with authentic handcrafted cypress timber frame construction, this remarkable residence blends timeless mountain architecture with exceptional artisan detail and luxury finishes throughout. Inside, custom-milled hardwood floors of wormy oak, walnut, hickory, and ash complement hand-applied plaster walls and other striking architectural elements. A dramatic 14-foot floor-to-ceiling fireplace with hand-stacked Marion stone and a Rumford firebox anchors the grand living space, while expansive windows and glass doors frame the long-range mountain vistas. The gourmet kitchen is both refined and functional, featuring handcrafted natural cherry cabinetry, granite countertops with hand-chiseled edges, a copper farmhouse sink, and premium Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, including a dual-fuel range, warming drawer, and wine cooler. The foyer and the stunning dining area both showcase stone flooring sourced from Marion, North Carolina. The dining room is complete with a custom spalted maple dining table with artisan-crafted cherry dining chairs. Custom antler chandeliers and light fixtures, crafted by a Montana artisan, are found throughout the main living areas. One of the home’s most distinctive features is the octagonal turret, finished with rare 100-year-old river-recovered cypress flooring and accessed by an extraordinary custom cherry double-helix staircase. The primary suite offers a spa-inspired retreat with slate floors, walls, and countertops, a Kohler cast iron soaking tub, oversized dual-head shower, sauna, copper sinks, custom mirrors, and antique heart pine cabinetry. On the main floor, you will also find the dedicated library/entertainment den with enhanced sound insulation and floor-to-ceiling white oak built-ins, a half bathroom with 100-year-old heart pine cabinetry and a well-placed laundry and pantry area. The second-floor features two additional guest suites, each feature beautifully appointed en-suite baths with travertine finishes. Designed for both entertaining and everyday comfort, the property includes an oversized two-car garage with epoxy floors, a 900+ sq. ft. finished bonus room above, an 800-bottle naturally cooled wine cellar, a built-in audio system with surround sound in several rooms, including the garage, Starlink high-speed internet, custom wood blinds, Ring security system, and whole-house dehumidification. Energy-efficient insulation contributes to remarkably low average monthly electric costs. Outdoor living is equally exceptional, with expansive three-tiered decking and wire railings thoughtfully built around massive granite boulder outcroppings to maximize the panoramic western views and sunsets. Extensive stonework, a lit waterfall and pond feature controllable from inside the home, and lush gardens filled with peonies, rhododendron, mountain laurel, wild azalea, hostas, ferns, and bleeding hearts create a secluded mountain sanctuary of rare beauty. Offering a rare combination of peace, craftsmanship, and opportunity, the property may be subdivided into two 10-acre tracts, creating the potential for a multi-generational compound or future investment opportunity....
