Property Description
Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains, this Frank Lloyd Wright inspired, prairie craftsman styled home offers an unparalleled blend of architectural elegance and the tranquility of its natural surroundings. The natural rockwork surrounding the entryway seamlessly ushers you into a warm foyer of stone and wood, introducing you to a 6300 square foot respite from the busy world. This floor also hosts 2 bedrooms with en suite baths, a spacious office with its own patio, and 1200 square feet of unfinished space for storage, a workshop, or building out a perfect in-law suite. Ascending the gentle steps with custom-designed handrails, you arrive at a landing that looks out over a dry creek bed. It leads to a 2-car garage with additional storage space or turns and continues to cozy sitting area that introduces a grand gathering room. This great room presents floor to ceiling windows that embrace an ever changing four-season lake and mountain view. The high vaulted ceiling proudly hosts hand-selected wooden beams, a massive custom rock fireplace, built-ins, and an open floor plan that seamlessly flows into the kitchen. The chef's kitchen is a custom masterpiece, featuring an oversized island, Sub-Zero refrigerator, separate ice maker, solid surface countertops, a Thermador gas cooktop, and ample pine cabinetry for all your storage needs. Off the kitchen, you will find a laundry room equipped with a separate sink and floor-to-ceiling cabinets, serving as a dream pantry. The separate dining room inspires with custom-built cabinetry. The primary suite rounds out the main floor. It has a cozy bedroom; a luxurious spa bathroom with heated floors, an incredible shower & steam room, and large cedar-lined closet; and double french doors that lead to a screened porch that brings you back into the trees. Designed by award winning architect Jerry Harpole, this home offers a unique opportunity to live in harmony with nature while enjoying the highest standards of modern living.
