Rustic mountain style meets refined European influence in this architecturally inspired retreat, a residence that balances strength and elegance while framing awe-inspiring views at every turn. This custom Mountain Air home immediately commands attention, with a monumental boulder gracing its front yard—a dramatic natural sculpture that sets the stage for the extraordinary design beyond. A soaring three-story foyer offers a breathtaking welcome, where scale and natural light combine to create a grand sense of arrival. The entry level is thoughtfully designed with two private guest suites, each a haven of comfort and quietude, ensuring family and friends are embraced in warmth and hospitality. A gracefully curved staircase or private lift ascends to the main floor, blending practical luxury with architectural artistry. At the heart of the home, the great room reveals itself as majestic and inviting. A grand stone fireplace with a custom mantle anchors the space, its presence commanding and comforting. Walls of windows draw in the mountain panorama, shifting in color and mood with the changing seasons, while soaring ceilings amplify the sense of openness. The adjoining dining area invites evenings of elegant entertaining, and the chef’s kitchen—crafted for function and flair—offers the ideal setting for gatherings large and small. With expansive counters, fine finishes and seamless flow, this kitchen is as inspiring for casual breakfasts as it is for formal dinners. The primary suite is a private sanctuary where luxury is found in every thoughtful detail. A second fireplace creates a retreat-like ambiance, while a private deck extends living space into the open air. The spa-inspired bath, complete with an oversized shower and deep soaking tub, evokes the indulgence of a boutique resort. Every element, from radiant natural light to refined finishes, is designed to restore and inspire. The upper level offers a versatile loft space that adapts to the needs of its residents—ideal as an artist’s studio, a private office or an additional bedroom. Here, creativity and practicality coexist, offering room for expansion or retreat. Life at Mountain Air extends far beyond the home. Residents enjoy direct access to an array of amenities that celebrate adventure and relaxation—miles of hiking trails, tranquil parks, and even the rare privilege of a private airport with on-site runway. For those seeking a resort-style lifestyle an optional country club membership unlocks access to championship golf, tennis courts, a sparkling pool, wellness facilities, and fine dining. Each day brings opportunity, whether pursuing active mountain living or simply savoring the quiet grandeur of the Blue Ridge. This residence is more than a home—it is an iconic statement of design, craftsmanship and place. Where rustic mountain textures meet European refinement, and where daily life unfolds against a backdrop of unparalleled natural beauty, this is a retreat that embodies distinction and warmth.
