Introducing Trinity Lodge... this amazing estate, located in the gated community of Leatherwood Mountains, is truly one of a kind! This custom-built 3 bedroom home is located atop the Elk Horn section of Leatherwood and provides views as far as the eye can see. All details of this home have been meticulously planned and executed to perfection. The gormet kitchen has plenty of counterspace on the all granite countertops, a free-standing island including a wine cooler and bar chairs, double ovens, an oversized refrigerator, and plenty of storage. The open floor plan offers plenty of room for relaxing and entertaining, as well as everyday living. Other than the views from the windows, the floor to ceiling stone fireplace is the centerpiece of the Great room! The smaller den off of the great room would make a great office space, library, or study. The oversized laundry room is on the main level as well. Two guest rooms are located on the top floor of the home providing plenty of privacy. Both are well equipped with sizeable closets, and the upstairs bathroom is well appointed. While on the main level of the house, one can not help but notice the miles and miles of Blue Ridge splendor off in the distance, viewed best from the open deck or hot tub area. Relaxing in the morning to enjoy the sunrise, or cooling off in the evening can best be done here with an over 180 degree view from this special area of Trinity Lodge. For a more removed entertaining area, simply walk downstairs to the fully finished basement where a large pool table, flatscreen tv's, and a wetbar beckon for a good time. Off of the game and bar area on this level is the oversized Primary bedroom. As you enter the double doors into this area you immediately notice how spacious this bedroom suite is. The fireplace in this room provides for cozy nights, with the stars just outside the French doors here. The bathroom of this primary bedroom suite reminds you of stone and tilework reminiscent of old-time Italian craftsmanship. The slipper tub and stone tile shower give you choices of relaxation, with either one being a good idea! As you pull into the property you will notice a 4-bay garage with an amazing living area above it. There is a separate entrance to get into "the bunkhouse".

3606 NC Highway 194 S, Sugar Grove

$1,600,000

We are proud to present a truly once-in-a-lifetime estate nestled in the heart of Laurel Springs, offering over 265 breathtaking acres in one of the most scenic settings the Blue Ridge Mountains have to offer. This remarkable property is bordered by the Blue Ridge Parkway on one side and adjoins NC Game Lands in Wilkes County on the other, providing unmatched privacy, protected surroundings, and direct access to thousands of acres of preserved land. The driveway to the land is one of the few directly off the Blue Ridge Parkway because this old farm predates the Parkway. As you approach the house you cross a beautiful stream with wild flowers, then fields for horses or cattle open up around you. There is the pond and the house on a site where people have lived for at least 150 years. Driving or walking past the house you climb the old road through thick woods with a bold creek beside you with small water falls your children or grand children will love. The road opens out at the top to a broad and open highland straddling the eastern continental divide and offering unmatched views for potential home sites. The broad mountain top was in the past used for agriculture and grazing sheep. The tract forms its own protected watershed and is rich with springs of the purest water. The main residence offers a living room, kitchen, 4 bedrooms, and 3.5 bathrooms. There is a guest house designed for pond views and access with 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen, and laundry area (permitting in progress), and a charming cottage overlooking the pond—perfect for quiet mornings or visiting guests, and an old barn full of rustic character, ideal storage or creative reuse. Approximately 33.67 +/- acres are unencumbered around the existing house near the Parkway. , while 231.808 +/- acres of higher elevation are protected under a conservation easement with the Blue Ridge Conservancy, allowing just a few house sites while ensuring the long-term preservation of the natural beauty. The possibilities here are truly exceptional: a private mountain estate, wedding or event venue, bed and breakfast, wellness or retreat center, hunter’s paradise, a farm, or a thoughtfully designed combination of uses. Whether your vision is personal, a business, or legacy-focused, this property offers the rare scale, setting, and flexibility to bring it to life. Come home to your very own sanctuary in the Blue Ridge Mountains—where nature, privacy, and opportunity converge.
