ON 81 RIDGETOP ACRES AT THE EDGE OF BLOWING ROCK, BORDERED BY PISGAH NATIONAL FOREST, THIS EXQUISITE AND SUSTAINABLE LUXURY HIDEAWAY IS UNIQUE! Interested in the idea of living “off-the-grid”, but don’t want to be too far from excellent restaurants or vibrant cultural life? Do you automatically expect the “best of everything”? With breathtaking John’s River Gorge views over the adjacent Pisgah National Forest and sunset views over Grandfather Mountain from your terraced decks, and luxurious living spaces, you DEFINITELY won’t feel like you are “roughing it”! Less than 1.5 miles from Main Street on a ridge named "Round Mountain", the cozy and luxurious 2067 SF timber-framed bark and log-sided home is designed to receive only your favorite invitees. Soaring stone fireplaces inside the great room and outside on the covered deck are entertainment focal points. A permanent grill is on the deck just outside the kitchen door. On the terrace below, a fire pit beckons.
Two oversized two-level equipment garages – one with 1449 SF and the other with 2440 SF – can store your vehicles, equipment, and “toys”. The larger equipment garage was designed for easy conversion to additional lodging space, if desired, and there are additional possible gorge-view building sites just uphill from there. A sophisticated solar array with 56 panels provides adequate power to add supply to the local electrical cooperative utility. A separate 10’ x 15’ outbuilding holds the array of Blue Ion batteries and the Sol-Ark solar conversion system. A 14’ x 22’ greenhouse, with automatic ventilation, is just downhill from an area that has been used as a kitchen garden. Additionally, there is a 2,000 gallon underground propane tank, a 2,000 gallon diesel tank, a 2,000 gallon gasoline tank, and a shed for wood storage. Included furnishings (with only a few exceptions) and tasteful decor will allow you to move right in!
