Property Description
The main lodge is warm and inviting, featuring wood floors and a spacious den with beautiful built-in bookshelves. The dining and great room are anchored by a double-sided stacked stone wood-burning fireplace, creating a natural gathering space. The upper floor of the lodge offers 4 bedrooms and 5.5 baths, along with a pantry and laundry for everyday convenience. A retained commercial kitchen—complete with gas and electric ranges, dual dishwashers, and triple sinks—provides the capability to serve guests, host events, or support a wide range of business ventures. A charming self-serve kitchen adds even more flexibility for gatherings and guest use. The lower level expands the possibilities with two separate apartments—one featuring 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, and living area, and the other offering 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, a full kitchen, and living area—ideal for guests, staff, or rental income. Additional features include additional laundry on the lower level, ample storage, and an oversized two-car garage.
Outdoor living is where this property truly shines. A large, covered porch overlooks a protected view of Bullhead Mountain. The grounds are thoughtfully designed with a gazebo, kitchen garden area, blueberry bushes, apple trees, an amphibian pond, a creek and pond to enjoy fishing or just listening to the water and relaxing. Enjoy evenings around the firepit or entertain with the outdoor built-in smoker, fireplace, wood-fired pizza oven, and grill. Three cabins provide additional accommodation. The “Fishing Cabin” features a gas fireplace, garden tub, private bath, and unique stone accents sourced from the creek, along with a mini fridge. A second cabin also includes a mini fridge, while the third cabin offers additional guest space, each cabin with its own bath.
Additional highlights include a horse barn, a striking sculpture by an Asheville artist, and thoughtful drainage features such as oversized gutters directing water to natural rock elements.
Whether envisioned as a boutique bed and breakfast, Airbnb compound, wellness or corporate retreat, spa, equestrian property, or private estate, this one-of-a-kind offering invites you to create something truly special in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The retreat is located just off the Blue Ridge Parkway and near Stone Mountain State Park, the New River, and the Mountains to Sea Trail, with easy access to Sparta, Elkin, and beyond. All within an approximately 90 minute drive to the Charlotte or Greensboro airports. Schedule your personal showing today!
