Is it a treehouse? A mountain haven? Either way, you’ve got to see this $5M NC home
You don’t see the words “ceilings clad in Douglas fir” too often, but chances are when you do, it will make you pause and automatically picture a treehouse.
Especially if the words are used to describe the vaulted ceilings of a remarkable estate that is for sale in the mountain town of Burnsville, North Carolina, for $4.99 million, and not a place occupied by the Swiss Family Robinson.
Because the town rests in the shade of Mount Mitchell, the three-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home offers plenty of year-round views, which consist of a fusion of forest greens, bumblebee yellows and wine reds that radiate off the mountain trees that encompass the home.
The colors also vary by season, of course.
While the views can send anyone into an aesthetic-laced frenzy, the design of the 4,085-square-foot home speaks volumes without uttering a word.
“When you pull up to it, it absolutely catches your eye, because it’s clad in cedar and obviously has these incredible lines to it and is very modern,” listing agent Alec Cantley told Realtor.com. “It’s a very sleek, cool, modern house that totally blends into the surroundings.”
Not to mention the home is packed with fancy amenities and an open floor plan, the listing on Realtor says. Features that include:
Floor-to-ceiling glass windows
Custom wood doors
Screened porches
Primary suite with a wet bar and sauna
Detached guest suite
Living roof
Elevator
Geothermal heat
“It’s just truly a work of art. It’s completely cantilevered into a mountain, with this galvanized steel that makes up the foundation but also transfers into the house,” Lacey Power, who shares the listing with Cantley, said to Realtor.
The estate is located in the private gated community of Mountain Air, which is near Asheville. Luxury amenities that come with living in the community include “a mountaintop airstrip, 18-hole golf course, clubhouse, tennis courts and new fitness center,” the listing says.
