Property description
Nestled within the serene embrace of the Blue Ridge Mountains, just a stone's throw away from the acclaimed town of Highlands, North Carolina, lies an estate of style and sophistication. Recognized as the Best Small Mountain Town in the Southeast by Travel and Leisure, this remarkable property embodies the essence of luxury mountain living. As you approach, verdant landscaped gardens beckon with their vibrant hues and fragrant blooms. A tapestry of flowers unfolds around you, accompanied by the soothing melody of a nearby water feature. Within this botanical haven, a moss lawn and a vegetable growing area offer sanctuary and sustenance. Stepping through the architectural door of the main manor, you are greeted by a grand hallway that leads you into the heart of the home. Here, an expansive great room unfolds, adorned with a native stone fireplace and framed by panoramic vistas of the majestic mountains beyond. Seamlessly integrated, the dining area and gourmet kitchen invite gatherings of family and friends, where culinary delights and cherished memories are shared. A sprawling Carolina room porch extends the living space, providing a tranquil retreat adorned with a stone fireplace and weather shades, ensuring comfort and enjoyment throughout the seasons. The epitome of refinement awaits on the main level, where the luxurious primary suite offers respite and rejuvenation. Ascending to the upper level, two guest suites and an inviting sitting area await, offering comfort and privacy to visitors. Descending to the terrace level, discover a haven of versatility, with a bedroom suite, an office suite, and the possibility of a fifth bedroom, providing ample space for work, relaxation, or recreation. Nestled nearby, the charming Cotswold log cabin guest house exudes warmth and hospitality. Within its inviting confines, a great room with a crackling fireplace and a kitchenette awaits, along with two enchanting bedroom suites on the upper level.
