Embrace refined mountain living in this breathtaking contemporary estate where tranquility meets sophistication. Set atop a rare flat mountaintop lot, the home captures sweeping vistas of the Blue Ridge while grounding itself in timeless craftsmanship. Vaulted 20-foot ceilings soar above the living room, where 125-year-old hand-hewn beams, salvaged from a Canadian barn, span overhead. Large exposed custom metal beams lend strength and artistry, while a floor-to-ceiling stacked-stone fireplace with a custom concrete hearth anchors the space with warmth and grandeur. Expansive walls of glass frame the mountain panorama, blurring boundaries between indoors and out. The gourmet kitchen is a culinary masterpiece, featuring Thermador stainless steel appliances, Italian quartzite countertops, and bespoke rustic alder cabinetry. A walk-in pantry and coffee bar, tucked behind a sliding knotty alder barn door, add thoughtful function to the refined design. Flowing seamlessly into the dining area and sunroom—with its own dramatic stone fireplace—this is a home designed for gathering and connection. The main-level primary suite is a private oasis, complete with oversized shower, custom walk-in closet, and breathtaking mountain views. Upstairs, two ensuite bedrooms showcase artisanal tile and custom finishes, offering guests comfort and distinction. Outdoors, nature and luxury intertwine across 4+ acres of landscaped serenity. Natural rock stairs wind past commanding boulders, trails, and flower gardens, leading to a fenced vegetable garden with raised beds and berry bushes. Gentle topography invites both quiet reflection and lively entertaining, an uncommon feature at this elevation. This retreat is part of Couch Mountain, a gated conservation community of just 81 homesites on 395 acres, offering miles of wooded hiking trails and two community gardens. Here, stewardship of the land is woven into daily life, creating a rare balance of privacy, sustainability, and community. More than a home, this is a sanctuary where elegance and nature coexist—and where every day begins with the beauty of the Blue Ridge unfolding before you.
