About This Home
Welcome to an extraordinary European-style estate in the heart of Highlands—where timeless charm meets refined mountain living. This remarkable and majestic property includes a beautifully designed main residence and an enchanting stone guest cottage, both showcasing sweeping panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Old Edwards Golf Course, and a serene lake. Crafted by award-winning Mountainworks Custom Home Design, the main house features an elegant slate roof and was honored with the Designer’s Choice Award by the American Institute of Building Design, as well as Best of Show. The interior is a masterclass in sophistication, offering a sun-drenched kitchen equipped with top-of-the-line Miele appliances, a built-in coffee station, and an oversized island perfect for gathering. The adjoining sunroom invites peaceful mornings and golden-hour sunsets, while the spacious deck serves as your front-row seat to the plateau’s natural, incredible views and cool breezes at an elevation above 4200 ft. The main level includes a tranquil bedroom with an ensuite bath and views of a curated cutting garden. Upstairs, a light-filled office/library provides inspiration with every glance out the window. The luxurious primary suite boasts postcard-perfect views from every angle and a luxurious bath with a serene soaking tub overlooking the clouds as they float by over the mountains. Just steps away, the guest cottage is a storybook escape with two private bedrooms—each with ensuite baths. Enter through a charming Dutch door into a warm and inviting interior that evokes the coziness of an English Cotswold cottage. A elegant yet stately stone-and-stucco fireplace anchors the living area, while a covered porch with a second fireplace offers the perfect perch for enjoying cool mountain breezes and stargazing in the evenings. The sale includes buildable main house basement plans for future expansion and the home and guest cottage are being offered fully furnished—including elegant bespoke custom furniture, designer linens, draperies, select artwork, and curated décor that enhances its distinctive character, with a small list of exceptions. A one-of-a-kind retreat, impeccably maintained and thoughtfully designed—this is luxury mountain living at its finest. The mesmerizing views change with the four seasons whether watching the clouds below changing shapes to glorious reds and golds of fall to snowflakes that glisten past...it’s magical in every way.
