EXTRAORDINARY COLORADO LOG CONSTRUCTION • LAYERED SUNRISE AND SUNSET MOUNTAIN VIEWS • THREE PRIMARY SUITES • GATED GOLF COMMUNITY Some mountain homes are beautiful and impressive. Very few have this scale, craftsmanship, drama and architectural presence. Set within a gated golf course community in Western North Carolina, this luxury log home was created for those who appreciate extraordinary craftsmanship, dramatic mountain scenery and spaces that simply cannot be replicated in a typical mountain home. Built from massive Douglas fir logs, the entire home is a custom marvel. THE GREAT ROOM — DRAMA FROM EVERY ANGLE The first impression is unforgettable. You walk into a great room that welcomes you with incredible mountain views, the beauty of Western North Carolina and a floor to ceiling stone fireplace. Grand Colorado logs define the architecture throughout the home—logs so substantial that they are impossible to wrap your arms around. Their scale, natural character and handcrafted joinery create artistic details.. The architecture, stonework, timber and windows work together to frame the surrounding mountains. Two-story vaulted windows rise dramatically toward the ceiling and capture layers of distant mountain views, bringing the landscape into the heart of the home. Beside them, an impressive two-story stone fireplace rises through the space, anchored by a massive natural stone slab hearth. On the main level, the great room includes the dining area and gourmet kitchen, to create an inviting gathering space. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances by Dacor and a Thermador four-burner gas cooktop with griddle. Take your morning coffee through the double French doors onto the expansive, open-air decks facing the mountains. You will enjoy the perfect sunsets or watching the changing colors of the Blue Ridge Mountains. AN ENTRANCE THAT MAKES A STATEMENT Frank Lloyd Wright inspired rock formations dictate how the front door entry incorporates the natural surroundings. The dramatic entrance porch extends across the full length of the home and incorporates massive natural boulders. THREE PRIMARY SUITES A distinct aspect of this mountain home is the three primary bedroom suites, each offering its own ensuite bathroom and private balcony, with french doors opening toward the mountain views. One suite is on the main level. Whether used as a full-time residence, multi-generational retreat, vacation rental or private mountain getaway, the 3-suites offer flexibility and privacy. LOWER LEVEL — ENTERTAINMENT, GATHERING & FLEXIBLE SPACE Enjoy the lower level for another option for fun and socializing. A second dramatic stone fireplace and game-table area welcomes family and friends. There is plumbing in place for a wet bar or second kitchen. This level also provides for the garage, laundry area, half bath and a large storage room plumbed as a future steam room. A Generac generator offers piece of mind for back-up power. Park the car in the garage when you leave. The Location: The views and quaint location in Maggie Valley feels like you are always on vacation. The Maggie Valley Club offers an 18 hole golf course, tennis and pickleball, lovely swimming complex, a restaurant with a view and work-out areas.
