Nestled within the northwestern end of the valley and bordering Walnut Cove’s Jack Nicklaus Signature Course, the secluded, tree-canopied site is 1.24 acres, and the home is nearly 6,000 square feet. This magnificent home reveals its personality—externally and internally, embracing the surrounding lush environment and displaying elements of nature and sustainability in form and function. Constructed by Jade Mountain Builders, a renowned Asheville green building company, their “building works of art” mission aptly illustrates this modern masterpiece. Stone steps lead to the home’s oak door, with black framed glass panels flanking each side. Enormous windows, each pre-wired for shades, let in light in nearly every room. Wide-plank oak flooring and soaring oak ceilings flow throughout the home, grounding the spaces into a cohesive whole. The kitchen takes on a minimalistic tone—darker cabinets and backsplash, an island of creamy white and light oak, and a massive pantry with a wet bar and cabinetry. Opposite, a dining area and dramatic fireplace invite engagement while windows showcase nature’s splendor. The primary bedroom suite has cornered floor-to-ceiling windows so that upon waking, one can experience the outdoors while cocooned in a roomy space of bright white walls and warm, honeyed wood tones. The adjoining ensuite bath combines warm wood vanities, a large soaking tub, and a separate shower with tiled flooring and large windows throughout. Two large closets complete the primary suite. On the lower level are three additional bedrooms, three baths, and a half-bath fuse sleek, minimalistic design with nature’s hues. Gathering and family spaces include windowed rooms with entertainment areas, including a kitchenette and an indoor/outdoor fireplace leading to a covered patio. Other elements, such as staircases encased in tempered glass, wood railing, and metal; outdoor gathering spaces; an elevator, unique lighting throughout the home’s interior and exterior; and a three-car garage balance the overall striking aesthetic. This home isn’t just an exquisite structure. It is, like the infinite nature surrounding it, a sense of place, of home, and one that feels as if it will last a lifetime.
