Luxury Mountain Estate in the Heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains
Perched high in the Blue Ridge Mountains with sweeping long-range sunset views, this custom-built timber frame estate offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern luxury.
Sitting on over 5 acres and spanning more than 8,300 sq. ft., the home features 5 bedrooms, 7.5 baths, and exceptional craftsmanship throughout. Expansive stonework, dramatic beamed ceilings, and walls of windows bring the outdoors in while showcasing breathtaking views.
Designed for both relaxation and entertainment, the estate includes a state-of-the-art home theatre, a billiards room, and multiple living areas anchored by grand stone fireplaces. The gourmet chef’s kitchen is equipped with top-tier appliances, a large island, and panoramic mountain vistas.
Accommodations include spacious bedrooms, spa-inspired bathrooms, and a versatile loft-style bunk room. The apartment above the 2-car garage offers its own full kitchen and living area—perfect extended family, guests, or rental opportunities.
This home has been fully furnished and decorated by one of the top interior designers in the area, blending mountain elegance with modern comfort. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with expansive patios, professionally landscaped grounds, and commanding views of the Blue Ridge sunsets. All of this, just minutes from downtown Banner Elk, ski slopes, and premier golf courses.
