About the home

CUSTOM MOUNTAIN ESTATE | 51 ACRES | 360° VIEWS | POOL | PASTURE, BARN & CREEK | NO ZONING - Your perfect mountain retreat has hit the market! From the moment you turn up the drive, you will be enveloped by nearly 360-degree views, cool mountain air, and the serenity of the sweeping landscape around. This is the kind of property that brings you peace and awe right upon arrival. The well-designed, colorful landscaping will greet you as you approach the front courtyard, and the sheer scale of this 7,000+ sq ft home on 51 acres will invite you to explore. Step through the grand entry doors into a two-story living room anchored by a full wall of east-facing windows, flooding the space with natural light. To the left, the primary suite offers two walk-in closets, a cozy fireplace, patio access, and its own grand views. Follow the gallery then atrium hallway to what was formerly a working glass-blowing studio! Enter the pool area along this hall and find a dedicated changing room/bathroom here as well. On the opposite side of the main entrance, you'll find the stately chef's kitchen, dining area, butler's pantry with additional walk-in pantry, and an ensuite guest bedroom. A smartly placed mudroom sits just off the entrance from the MASSIVE 3-car garage. This is a home built with comfort, aging in place, and self sufficiency in mind. Heated floors in the primary bath, a beautiful wood lined elevator makes any floor accessible, and a whole-house generator provides peace of mind year round. Alongside the generator, the roof is solar panel ready, the garage is already equipped with an EV charging station, and in the lower level you'll find a vault/safe room fully fitted with a bathroom and shower - talk about being prepared! The 3rd bay of the garage is even designed for a lift installation — no need to go to town for car maintenance! Outside, an expansive back deck overlooks sweeping long-range views and is attached to a fenced dog run, so four-legged family members are covered. To the left of the home, you'll find the custom heated saltwater pool and attached spa, complete with a waterfall and — of course — 360-degree views. A gas fire pit and pre-installed utilities for an outdoor kitchen make this the ultimate entertaining space. Downstairs, a full apartment offers a great room, kitchenette, two bonus rooms, an unfinished theater room, and the vault/safe room — ideal for multigenerational living or guests. Upstairs, you'll find two en-suite bedrooms plus 2 vaulted bonus rooms, including one oversized room perfectly suited for a yoga studio, playroom, or second art studio. And then there's the land — 51 acres, a showstopper in its own right! A second, separate entrance leads to the property's "back" half — with pasture, barn, and a bold babbling creek running through it, providing ready space for animals, a family compound, or simply room to roam in PEACE. With no zoning restrictions, the possibilities here are wide open. 20 min to Burnsville, 1 hr to Asheville. This property is more than a home — it's a legacy property — for the artist, the prepper, the homesteader, the hunter, the multigenerational family, or anyone looking for a self-sufficient, all-inclusive mountain getaway. Come and stay and want for nothing: all you could need is right at home! ***Due to homes size, not all of home is pictured in online photos - contact listing agent for additional photos of entire home*** CINEMATIC VIDEO TOUR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9FEVHJ7v_8
