This beautiful gated estate tucked among the exquisite beauty of the Blue Ridge mountains is Paradise Found!  

Old growth rhododendron intermingles with evergreens, laurel, and seasonal flora and fauna to create a calm, relaxing area where you can commune with nature.  Gently cascading water from the three waterfalls meanders to the two ponds, songbirds’ serenades and a gentle breeze compose nature’s lullaby.  

Enjoy time with that special someone or entertain your family and friends.  This five bedroom home is perfect for two or a family the size of the Von Trapp clan.  Behind the estate’s gated entrance is the poplar bark-clad lodge style residence.  Entering through the large double doors, your eye is drawn across the expansive Living Room with its vaulted ceiling and wall of glass to the exquisite view of the grounds and the distant mountains. Warm cedar paneling blends seamlessly with the stack stone fireplace to offer comfort and style for carefree living.  This open floor plan provides optimal living for groups of all sizes.        

Custom-crafted cabinetry lines the Gourmet Kitchen where you will revel in creating meals to remember.    Chefs and sous-chefs all have ample work areas among the granite topped island and cabinets.  High-end appliances and a large walk-in pantry made meal prep a breeze.  Let the gang gather in the large Dining Room or throw open the glass doors to assemble around the dining table overlooking the ponds.  

Throughout the house, each room claims heart-stopping views. Whether you are looking at the tee of Hole #16 or watching the squirrels scamper up the river birches, the serenity of this setting will enrapture you.  The large Owner’s Suite includes sumptuous walk-in closets, a bath with dual vanities and a dressing table plus a soaking tub and separate shower.  Your guests have an equally comfortable environment in the large Guest Suite just down the hall.   When your children visit with their families, let them choose from the large guest rooms on the Terrace Level.  Well-appointed baths, an Exercise Room and a large Family Room wrap them in comfort and give them a place to unwind.  Walls of glass frame nature’s beauty while the large porch with its swings and comfortable seating will beguile anyone.

For those guests seeking a little privacy, let them hop across the large stones of the gently-cascading brook to the Guest House where they will enjoy a Living Room, Kitchenette, sumptuous Bath and large porch on the main level.   

In the loft the bed sits beneath a wall of glass,allowing the stars twinkle upon the floor on cool mountain evenings. Strategically-placed landscape lighting illuminates the chainsaw carvings dotting the property.
