Mountain Top Sanctuary minutes from the Franklin, NC airport. This Extraordinary Mountaintop Estate sits on 34.7 pristine acres, bordered on three sides by USFS with 1/3 mile of a bold, native trout stream flowing through the heart of the property. Soaring 25-foot ceilings in the Great Room, anchored by a dramatic masonry wood-burning fireplace. Rich, unmatched woodwork, thick moldings, built in shelving, Kolbe windows and French Doors, a Solid Walnut Front Door and quarter sewn five inch oak floors throughout showcass the quality of construction.
