5 Beds ⋅ 6 Baths ⋅ 5,043 SqFt. ⋅ 5.36 Acres ⋅ ACTIVE Status
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. It's the only homesite in the entire community grandfathered and permitted to have a fence, barn, and horses, which makes this equestrian-capable property a rare find in Blowing Rock. The house offers 5,043 heated square feet. Above the 1,231 sf garage, which holds up to 5 cars, a 594 sf guest suite has a bedroom, full bath, living room, and walk-in closet, so guests or family have their own space. Beyond the finished 5,600 sf, a 3,071 sf lower level is already framed and insulated and ready to finish, and walks out to a 1,187 sf stone patio. Finishing it would take the home to about 8,700 s.f. for a fraction of what a home that size costs to build or buy, and a 9-bedroom septic system is already in place to fully support 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, invisible fencing is installed for pets, and the acreage is open and usable. The two-story great room is built around 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 made for people who actually cook, with a custom wood island that seats five and has a prep sink, a professional-grade range with pot filler, a farmhouse sink, custom cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry. The main floor also has a separate formal dining room, and off the living area a room behind barn doors would make an excellent billiards room or bar. The main-level primary suite has French doors that open directly onto the deck, its own 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 garage. Wide-plank hardwood runs throughout the main level. Upstairs, a huge loft 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. Enjoy the outdoors on more than 2,300 sf of deck and patio space with a timber frame covered porch and a covered patio below it, both looking out over open lawn and pastoral views. The lower level opens to its patio through French doors and a row of windows. It has plenty of room 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.
