Perched high on a lush ridge of the ancient Brushy Mountains, the oldest part of the Appalachian Mountains in Wilkes County is a remarkable estate. Upon arriving by a private road, you will be awed by the sweeping vistas of the distant Blue Ridge and the lovely grounds surrounding the stately log lodge. As you enter the massive front door, your spirits are lifted by the amazing light pouring through the tall great room window wall. A massive stone fireplace rises to the vaulted ceiling that overgirds the sitting, music and dining areas that flow into the state-of-the-art kitchen with white marble countertops and custom cabinets. Beyond the great room is a lovely bedroom with French doors opening to a large patio, a luxurious en-suite bath and walk-in closet. All of the main level opens onto a grand covered porch for lounging, dining and grilling. A half-bath serves this level. Upstairs there is a large loft and 3 bedrooms with en-suite baths. On the lower level, there are guest quarters with a big family room, fine kitchen and 2 bedrooms with en-suite baths. All open onto a covered patio. A garage apartment with office/sitting room and bedroom and bath complete this fabulous home.
