270 Osprey Drive, Banner Elk NC

Remarks:

Welcome to Iron Horse Lodge, a newly constructed custom masterpiece ideally positioned within The Lodges at Eagles Nest, just minutes from downtown Banner Elk and moments from the Great Camp Amphitheater and Epic Chophouse. Thoughtfully designed to capture long-range sunset views over the Blue Ridge Mountains, this exceptional home offers a seamless blend of modern mountain architecture, enduring materials, and refined luxury living. A striking exterior of natural stone, horizontal wood siding, and architectural shingles is accented by standing seam metal roofing and timber columns, creating a warm yet sophisticated presence. Built for longevity, Edge Vesta steel siding is incorporated in hard-to-reach areas for enhanced durability and low maintenance. A custom-engineered foundation with steel beam construction allows for a dramatic cantilevered design—maximizing both structural integrity and panoramic views. Designed as a true primary residence, every detail reflects a no-compromise approach to craftsmanship. The easily accessible driveway offers ample guest parking, complemented by an oversized two-car garage and additional single-car garage. A well-appointed mudroom with built-in laundry, drop zone, and custom dog wash enhances everyday functionality. Inside, oversized glass barn-style doors open to a welcoming foyer, anchored by a wine and cocktail lounge—setting the tone for elevated entertaining. A private office with custom architectural doors leads into an expansive living and dining area, where fully retractable glass doors create a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. Step onto over 2,400 square feet of outdoor decks, thoughtfully designed to take full advantage of the home’s breathtaking sunset views. The chef’s kitchen is outfitted with Thermador Professional Series appliances, dual dishwashers, a wet bar/coffee station with sink and refrigerated drawers, and a fully equipped butler’s pantry with built-in desk, prep space, and abundant storage. The main-level primary suite offers a private retreat with fireplace, coffee bar, beverage fridge, and sink. Expansive windows frame mountain views, while direct deck access leads to a Bullfrog 6+ person hot tub. The spa-inspired bath features a soaking tub, dual-head shower, and double vanities, complemented by a walk-in closet with its own washer and dryer. Upstairs, a second en suite bedroom is joined by an additional bedroom with nursery, hidden door access, and a spacious walk-in closet. A large shared bath includes a soaking tub and dual-head shower, while a covered deck captures elevated mountain vistas. The lower level is where this home truly expands its potential. In addition to a spacious family room, bunkroom suite, full bath, gym, half bath, and wellness room with cold plunge and infrared sauna, the home includes over 1,000+ square feet of additional heated living space currently being completed. Buyers have a rare opportunity to personalize several basement-level spaces—including a theater room and flexible living areas—allowing for customization to suit their lifestyle.
