About the home

Nestled in the bucolic Mountain Air Country Club community on Spring House Drive, this custom-designed mountain estate provides a spacious, luxury home on a large, forested property. The exterior features reclaimed barnwood and a cedar shake roof. The interior provides more than 5,500 square feet of classic, mountain elegance for family gathering and entertaining. Rich woodwork is everywhere, including the cathedral ceilings in the great room and the upstairs bedrooms. There are custom, wood mantles over stone fireplaces, handcrafted accents, and mixed hardwood floors throughout. The open floor plan main living area flows seamlessly from a great stone fireplace to the spacious dining area, featuring a unique table that seats 14, and on into a chef's kitchen with abundant custom cabinetry and thoughtfully designed conveniences at every turn. Outdoor decks are accessible on all three levels and provide over 2400 square feet of space to relax, entertain, and enjoy the mountain beauty and the sound of the stream running along the property. The expansive main-level deck includes a seating area around a cozy gas-log fireplace for year-round enjoyment. The private primary suite on the upper level includes a bonus room that is currently used as an office/den. Additional guest suites include one on the main floor, and 2/3 on the lower floor, each with direct outside deck access plus a common gathering room with a stone fireplace. There is a spacious, two-car garage and abundant guest parking. This home offers a generator and a central alarm system. The entire property is approximately 3.24 acres, including the original lots 106 & 107 and the adjoining lot 108, to provide enhanced privacy and the potential to enhance long-range mountain views.
