Listing courtesy of Keller Williams High Country (Dawn May). Listing data provided by Canopy MLS, deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
High-altitude architecture in Banner Elk is defined by its ability to balance structural weight with the ethereal quality of the Blue Ridge landscape. This 2006 timber-frame estate accomplishes this through hand-hewn joinery and expansive glass elevations that prioritize the long-range ridge views. Spanning 6,209 square feet, the residence is anchored by a formal great room with vaulted trusses and a foyer featuring a transparent floor overlooking the lower-level wine cellar. The eight-bedroom program is split between the primary dwelling and a self-contained two-bedroom guest apartment located above the detached garage, providing a sophisticated solution for multi-generational hosting. In the current Banner Elk submarket, properties of this scale—offering nine bathrooms and dedicated guest quarters—remain a rarity, as inventory for finished luxury compounds continues to face significant pressure from seasonal demand. This residence represents a quiet departure from traditional cabin aesthetics in favor of a curated, gallery-like atmosphere. Private viewings may be arranged through Peters & Associates.
About the home
Perched on a pristine ridge with endless views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this remarkable timber frame estate blends mountain elegance with timeless craftsmanship. From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed by hand-hewn beams, soaring ceilings, and panoramic vistas. A dramatic glass floor in the foyer offers a stunning view into the custom wine cellar below, setting the stage for the artistic details throughout. The great room features vaulted timber trusses and a striking Chihuly-style chandelier, while walls of glass invite the outdoors in. The primary suite offers a spa-like bath, walk-in closet, and private terrace access, perfect for soaking in the mountain views. In addition to the attached two-car garage, a detached garage includes a 2-bedroom, 2-bath guest apartment with full kitchen, living area, and private entrance—ideal for guests or upscale rental use. Whether hosting or enjoying peaceful mornings above the clouds, this property offers unmatched serenity and style.
