Wow, what a buy!  Designed with Distinction for Beauty and Privacy, a unique mountain estate in the Blue Ridge Mountains offers you the choice of complete privacy for days or a short drive to all amenities.   Close proximity for fishing, canoeing, hiking and skiing. You might want to just enjoy the quitness and surrounding beauty while meditating or maybe you would like to venture out occasionally for site seeing and shopping. Various art works can be found in the small surrounding villages or one of the larger towns, such as; Asheville, Boone/Blowing Rock, Hickory or Johnson City.

Everything you need can be right here at the estate. As you approach the property by the country lane, you stop at the entrance gate as your eyes look upward to be welcomed by the 3 story chalet with its wrap a round decks and stone court yards. The smaller chalet cottage to the left can almost be heard say "Don't forget me. Come take a closer look!" As you look to the right your eyes rest upon the tennis court and basketball area. A short distance away, in the corner, a cool refreshing mountain spring feed pond looks so inviting to cast your fishing line in or just set awhile and enjoy the scenery. As your eye is drawn just beyond the tennis court you notice a large enclosure with a deck that houses the Endless Pool. Aqua therapy is great but swimming here is just plain good fun, ocean swimming in the mountains! Who would have thought?

Continuing on to the left toward the main house we pass a small green house and garden area. Just beyond that is a larger building for different types of storage including equipment, motor home or whatever would fit one's needs. As the paved driveway rounds the manicured hedge, the large parking area is visible with its covered entrance to the main house. A three car garage is attached to the main house with an additional detached four car garage a few feet below.

As the heavy entrance doors open to the foyer, the great room with it's 25 ft. ceiling is visible. Two beautiful wood stairways with wrought iron trim, lead to the master suite on one side and two guest rooms with bath on the other side. The trim work continues on the open walk way from both sides to the sun room, located on the upper level at the front. Views are magnificent from here during the day and one can only imagine the view after dark with the star-lit sky. A wonderful state of the art kitchen with a Viking range would certainly improve on anyone's culinary skills…. No lack of pantry storage here… Views of the surrounding mountains can be enjoyed from the kitchen as well as all other areas of the home.

One can access the lower level by the stairway near the garage entrance or by the stone court yard, with beautiful stone steps between the cottage and main house. The lower level contains a huge great room with a modern corner kitchen near the laundry room with an additional bath. At the other end of the lower level a door leads to a large multipurpose room / workshop with an outside entrance.

These private 24+ acres offer many hiking trails cleared enough to ride recreational vehicles and spacious enough for many cabin sites. Rhododendron and laurel are abundant with a large variety of wild flowers. Oh yes, what about water? There is plenty of good spring water, enough to supply many households. Sounds too good to be true? You need to see for yourself.
