EXTRAORDINARY COLORADO LOG CONSTRUCTION • LAYERED SUNRISE AND SUNSET MOUNTAIN VIEWS • THREE PRIMARY SUITES • GATED GOLF COURSE COMMUNITY Some mountain homes are beautiful. Some are impressive. Very few have this scale, craftsmanship, drama and architectural presence. Set within a gated golf course community in Western North Carolina, this luxury log home was created for those who appreciate extraordinary craftsmanship, dramatic mountain scenery and spaces that simply cannot be replicated in a typical mountain home. The first impression is unforgettable. Massive Colorado Douglas Fir logs define the architecture throughout the home—logs so substantial that they are impossible to wrap your arms around. Their scale, natural character and handcrafted joinery create artistic details.. The architecture, stonework, timber and windows work together to frame the surrounding mountains.

AN ENTRANCE THAT MAKES A STATEMENT The dramatic entrance porch extends across the full length of the home and incorporates massive natural boulders. It is an arrival experience. Embracing a combination of enormous logs, stone, natural rock and mountain scenery that immediately establishes the home's distinctive character. THREE PRIMARY SUITES The accommodations are exceptional with three primary bedroom suites, each offering its own ensuite bathroom and private balcony, with french doors opening toward the mountain views. One suite is on the main level. Each bathroom continues the home's distinctive architectural language with beautiful log and tile accents. Whether used as a full-time residence, multi-generational retreat, vacation home or private mountain getaway, the three-suite configuration offers an unusual level of flexibility and privacy. LOWER LEVEL — ENTERTAINMENT, GATHERING & FLEXIBLE SPACE A second impressive stone fireplace with a substantial natural stone slab hearth creates another dramatic gathering space. A large game-table area and the stubbed-in plumbing offers the potential for a wet bar or second kitchen in this flex space. The lower level opens directly onto a private patio, extending the entertainment space to include boulders placed for a future water feature. This level also provides for the garage, laundry area, half bath and a large storage room plumbed as a future sauna. Generac Generator. QUALITY THROUGHOUT Stand inside the great room beneath the enormous timber beams to experience looking through the two-story windows across layer after layer of Blue Ridge Mountain scenery.
