For Sale $3,500,000
Nestled in the heart of Western North Carolina beneath the timeless shadow of Cold Mountain and the vast Pisgah National Forest, The Lodge at East Fork Ranch is a rare 3,800-square-foot single-level executive retreat which is a sanctuary that gracefully blends rich history with thoughtful modern updates while preserving the warm, inviting character of true mountain living. This exceptional lodge is one of two distinct properties included in the sale, plus 26+ acres of shared common area offering Equestrian opportunities and extraordinary private retreat where every detail has been refined for comfort, gathering, and deep connection with the surrounding natural beauty. The exterior presents a striking combination of wood siding, board-and-batten, and stone, accented by timber-frame elements and crowned with a classic cedar-shake roof. A paved split driveway winds through lush landscaping, leading to generous parking and the large vaulted covered front deck. Underground power keeps the property clean and uncluttered, while beautiful barn with updated living quarters adds both practicality and charm. Multiple ponds, wooded walking trails, and open grounds complete a setting that feels secluded yet fully equipped. Step inside to a huge, open kitchen outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances, including a Viking gas range w/double ovens, ice maker, beverage refrigerator, and generous pantry. A classic Franklin stove framed in river rock anchors the space and becomes the natural heart of daily life and celebrations. Adjacent is a hand-built rustic wooden dining table, perfectly scaled for breaking bread with family and friends. The Great Room unfolds in generous proportions, furnished with comfortable designer pieces and dominated by an impressive stone hearth, exposed beams, and fireplace that draws everyone together on cool mountain evenings. The lodge offers five bedrooms, three of them en-suite, providing private comfort for owners and guests alike. Outside, the gathering front porch welcomes with comfortable rocking chairs and sweeping views of the rolling landscape. Just below lies a dedicated sitting area with fire pit and stone barbecue—ideal for outdoor culinary delights. On clear starry nights, the large fire-pit area becomes the focal point as flames dance in the cool mountain breezes. Wooded trails invite exploration amid mountain laurel, hemlock, and maple. A placid fishing pond and the nearby rush of streams and rivers offer quiet reflection or lively adventure. Western North Carolina remains a true paradise—abundant wildlife, rolling topography, clean cool air, and the restorative quiet that city life so often lacks. Here, under evening stars and within the gentle sounds of a crackling fire, you and those closest to you will create lasting memories and understand why so many who visit ultimately resolve that while they may return home, a piece of their heart will forever remain at The Lodge at East Fork Ranch. Cozy Log Cabin Retreat on East Fork Ranch Nestled on the scenic East Fork Ranch property, this charming 740-square-foot log cabin (built 2002) offers warm mountain living with numerous thoughtful updates. The vaulted galley kitchen features an island and sunny breakfast nook, opening to a welcoming great room centered around a wood-burning fireplace. The primary suite boasts beautiful wood flooring and a bath with tub/shower combo and ceramic tile; an additional ensuite provides further privacy. Convenient hall-closet laundry keeps essentials close at hand.
