About This Home
Perched at the summit of King Mountain, this custom luxury home offers million-dollar, long-range panoramic views that stretch across the western sky—sunsets here are truly unforgettable, like picture-perfect moments captured in real time. Designed to embrace the natural beauty of its surroundings, this luxury residence transforms into a peaceful sanctuary. The floorplan is centered around a spectacular octagonal great room, wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows that frame awe-inspiring views. A towering stone fireplace anchors the space, setting the tone for tranquil evenings bathed in the glow of the fading sun. The great room flows seamlessly into a sun-drenched gourmet kitchen and dining area, forming an open-concept observatory for dining and entertaining with a view. Just off the main living area is a expansive deck offering multiple vantage points to take in the mountain air and the ever-changing light that dances across the landscape. There are two primary bedroom suites on the main level, each with access to the deck, generous walk-in closets, and luxurious en suite baths. From one suite, you’ll enjoy sweeping long-range views; from the other, a closer, dramatic perspective of the mountain’s rock face—both equally breathtaking. The lower level of the home offers two additional guest bedrooms and bathrooms, a spacious entertaining area with a second stone fireplace and flat-screen TV, plus game table, home gym and office space. This level opens to a lower covered deck and provides access to the oversized two-car garage and generous storage space. Offered fully furnished, the home is styled with high-end furnishings and Ralph Lauren accessories adding layers of refined mountain charm and designer feel to every room. The decor perfectly complements the home’s warm timber tones, stone textures, and open, airy architecture. Located in the secure, gated community of King Mountain Club, owners enjoy access to exclusive amenities including a clubhouse, swimming pool, and tennis court. As an added touch of star power, this home sits on the same street as the former residence of legendary actor Burt Reynolds. Just minutes away is the charming town of Highlands, known for its high-end shopping, restaurants, waterfalls and views. This is more than a home; it’s a serene mountaintop escape with unforgettable views, luxurious design, and a connection to nature that is rare and deeply rewarding. Imagine entertaining here and enjoying the sunsets everyday!
