Set on 5 acres in Sweetgrass, one of Blowing Rock's most desirable neighborhoods, this beautifully crafted mountain home is less than 10 minutes from downtown's shopping, dining, and entertainment. As the only homesite in the entire community grandfathered and permitted to feature a fence, barn, and horses, this rare equestrian-capable lot represents a truly irreplaceable mountain legacy. It's a remarkable home with room to expand. This exceptional house offers 5,043 heated square feet. There is an additional 594-square-foot finished multi-generational guest carriage suite with a bedroom, full bath, living room, and walk-in closet that gives guests or family their own space. This living area is located above the 1,231-square-foot garage, which holds up to 5 cars. In addition to the finished 5,600 square feet, there is a 3,071-square-foot lower level that walks out to a 1,187 s.f. patio. Finishing the lower level would take the home to nearly 8,600 square feet for a fraction of what that size home costs to build or buy. A 9-bedroom septic system is in place to fully support potential expansion plans. The exterior is reclaimed wood from Montana over a stone base, and the arched front doors and deck doors were custom built in California. A drive lined with mature apple trees leads to the house, and invisible fencing is installed for pets. The acreage is open and usable. The two-story great room is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling whitewashed brick wood-burning fireplace with a hand-hewn beam mantel and built-ins on both sides. Tall windows on two levels fill the room with light. It opens to the kitchen and a large dining area. The kitchen is built around a custom wood island that seats five and has a prep sink. It also has a professional-grade range with pot filler, a farmhouse sink, custom cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry. Another room on the main floor was planned as a formal dining room. Off the living area, a room closed off by barn doors would make an excellent billiards room or bar. The main-level primary suite is a retreat featuring French doors that open directly onto the deck, its own cozy gas fireplace, a custom walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath. A large mudroom with built-in storage, a laundry hookup, and a dog washing station leads to the large garage. Wide-plank hardwood runs throughout the main level. Upstairs is a huge loft that looks down over the great room and adds another living area. On one side are 3 ensuite bedrooms and a second laundry room. On the other is an ensuite bedroom with its own fireplace. Every bathroom is custom tiled, and no two are alike. More than 2,300 square feet of deck and patio space includes a timber-framed covered porch across the back and a covered patio below it. Both look out over open lawn and pastoral views. The lower level opens to that patio through French doors and a row of windows. It has plenty of space for more bedrooms or a media or rec room, and the existing chimney allows for a fourth fireplace. Sweetgrass is an upscale mountain neighborhood with a clubhouse for everyday use or events, a fitness center, a game room, and a community lake with kayaks for residents. The Blue Ridge Parkway, with its hiking trails and Blue Ridge views, is just half a mile away.
