Remarks:
A striking expression of contemporary mountain architecture, this recently completed residence in The Cliffs at Walnut Cove is designed to capture the extraordinary beauty of its Blue Ridge setting. Framed by sweeping, year-round mountain vistas and exceptional privacy, the home offers a sophisticated indoor-outdoor lifestyle centered around its dramatic infinity pool, spa, and expansive outdoor living spaces. Nearly 4,000 square feet of impeccably crafted interiors unfold across an open, light-filled floor plan distinguished by soaring 20-foot ceilings, walls of glass, and seamless connections to the surrounding landscape. Three luxurious en-suite bedrooms provide private retreats, while an elegant glass-enclosed music room offers a distinctive space for entertaining, a private den, or a refined home office. An expansive upper-level bonus and recreation room adds exceptional flexibility. The heart of the residence is an extraordinary chef’s kitchen featuring Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, exquisite Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, generous workspace, and a concealed walk-in pantry. Throughout the home, elevated finishes and carefully considered details create a sophisticated yet inviting aesthetic. Outside, multiple living and dining areas transform the mountain landscape into an extension of the home. Gather around the outdoor dining area and grill, unwind in the infinity pool and spa, or settle in beneath the stars as the Blue Ridge Mountains stretch endlessly beyond. Designed with both luxury and longevity in mind, the residence includes a dedicated elevator shaft and substantial unfinished lower-level space offering the opportunity for a private gym, art studio, workshop, wine room, or additional customized living space. An exceptional location within Walnut Cove provides convenient access to both the clubhouse and community gates. The opportunity to purchase a Club membership at The Cliffs further expands the lifestyle, with access to seven distinctive mountain and lake communities and their world-class amenities. A separate designer furnishing package is available, creating the opportunity to acquire this remarkable residence as a truly turnkey mountain retreat.
