Welcome to Skyview Lodge — an uncompromising mountain estate where luxury, seclusion, and functionality converge on over nine pristine acres in the heart of the High Country. Elevated and surrounded by nature, this remarkable retreat offers breathtaking long-range mountain views from nearly every room, providing a sense of serenity year-round. With more than 7,000 square feet of refined living space, six bedrooms, and five full and two half baths, Skyview Lodge is just minutes from Banner Elk’s shopping, dining, top-rated ski resorts and scenic beauty of Blue Ridge Parkway. Crafted with oak timber frame construction, Skyview Lodge is a showcase of thoughtful design and superior craftsmanship. Discover seven fireplaces, two laundry rooms, a dedicated office and a fully equipped home gym. Whether entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening, the custom theater room with power reclining seating and the bespoke bar—featuring a kegerator, dual ice makers with cocktail-style cubes and dual-zone wine coolers—create an unparalleled atmosphere for relaxation or celebration. At heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen is elegant and highly functional, boasting custom wormy chestnut cabinetry by Banner Cabinets, granite countertops, heated floors with Wi-Fi thermostat, Thermador appliances, four ovens, a six-burner cooktop with induction plate, and a spacious butler’s pantry with a second refrigerator and dishwasher. The primary suite is thoughtfully separated from the rest of the home, offering a tranquil escape with soundproofed walls, custom wood shutters, and remote-controlled blackout blinds. Go onto your deck to take in the mountain vistas, or unwind in the spa-inspired primary bath, featuring heated floors for ultimate comfort. A hidden safe in the walk-in closet provides protected storage with discretion. Engineered for complete peace of mind, the estate includes two 1,000-gallon propane tanks—one dedicated to the home and the other powering dual whole-house generators, which ensure uninterrupted comfort during power outages. The system also provides emergency backup for the well, guaranteeing continued water access even in extended outages. Skyview Lodge is more than a home, it's a secluded mountain sanctuary, combining world-class amenities with masterful design, peaceful surroundings and awe-inspiring views. An extraordinary opportunity to experience elevated mountain living at its finest. Please note discrepancy between tax measurements and professional measurements. A permitted addition was completed in May 2020. See Certificate of Occupancy for this addition in documents. Seller requests the furniture/furnishings package be written up in a separate bill of sale with a noted value of $80,000. A pending lawsuit against POA for STR restrictions exists.
