About this home

Breathtaking long range layered mountain views create an unforgettable backdrop for this extraordinary luxury mountain retreat in the heart of Valle Crucis. The main part of the lodge was crafted with the timeless character of Logs America, offering exceptional quality, impressive scale, and warm yet refined mountain elegance. Impeccably decorated and beautifully maintained, this remarkable property has been featured in local magazines and offers a rare blend of luxury, comfort, and versatility. Designed to accommodate both quiet retreats and larger gatherings, the home features 6 spacious suites, each offering a private en suite bath with separate soaking tub and shower, along with its own propane fireplace for a true retreat like experience. Newly installed in October 2026, two premium, high efficiency dual fuel HVAC systems provide exceptional heating and cooling performance, complemented by an additional mini split system for enhanced comfort in the kitchen. High ceilings and expansive living spaces enhance the sense of openness throughout, while views from nearly every room bring the beauty of the mountains indoors. The main living area is both grand and inviting, with an extra large dining space and wet bar that also lends itself beautifully to a den or lounge setting. The kitchen provides excellent function and flexibility and could easily be transformed into a stunning dream kitchen keeping the commerical appliances. Multiple rooms open onto several levels of deck space, creating exceptional indoor /outdoor living with plenty of room for relaxing, dining, and entertaining against a backdrop of layered mountain views. The lower level offers wonderful flexibility with separate living quarters and entrance, ideal for extended family, guest accommodations, or additional rental space. A recently renovated kitchen with custom cabinetry and chiseled edge granite counters adds style and function, while the generous additional space and bonus room are ideal for a 3rd living area, game room, media room, or creative hobby space. Laundry on both the second floor and lower level adds convenience and accessibility. Outside, the property is equally impressive, with a large parking area, beautiful native plantings and perennials, a pond with waterfall feature, and a welcoming rocking chair front porch. Every detail invites you to slow down, take in the views, and enjoy the peaceful beauty of this exceptional setting. Ideally located in Valle Crucis, yet just 15 minutes to Boone, near Blowing Rock, the skiing of Sugar and Beech Mountains, famed Blue Ridge Parkway, hiking trails, the original Mast General Store, and the stocked Watauga River for trout fishing, this property offers a premier High Country lifestyle with convenient access to some of the area's most sought after destinations. Most furnishings are negotiable, offering even more possibilities for a seamless transition into your vision.
