163 Grandfather Knolls Drive, Banner Elk, NC 28604

Landmark Rustic Contemporary Masterpiece arrives! The penultimate construction in Knollwood represents a fleeting opportunity. Perched upon the pinnacle of Knollwood's serene upper reaches, an impossible vista of Grandfather punctuate a carpet of fragrant hardwoods below. This natural grandeur permeates the architecture and informs the interior. Good Life Building & Design has been a leader in a rustic contemporary aesthetic for years. Driving up, walking in, it's the first thing you'll notice - the striking uniqueness and uncompromising character. You float into the open floor plan that minimizes interior divisions and substitutes glass for walls. Golden sunlight pours in through ubiquitous windows and colors your world. Cresting a wall of Anderson glass is a row of clerestory windows to frame Grandfather Mountain by day and moonlight by night. The main level ceilings begin at 8.5' and climb to over 13' so you breathe easy. The covered porch itself is a conversation piece as it frames the Grandfather silhouette. The design energy is dynamic. Walk through the glass onto outer space and once you've absorbed the riveting view you'll find your eyes wandering over, almost tasting the post-industrial wooden beam and steel-plate canopy. The inverted roofline is signature. In pleaseant weather, where else would you rather end your day! Kitchen is to die for. Master suite sequesters on the far end away from other energy. No need to contest over the master - there's another downstairs. In baths and kitchen, Ted does his own tile and you'll delight in his work. The lower level is a whole nother world waiting to envelop you. It all defies description. Come and experience the magic of Knollwood and New Life Architecture today!
