Description
Here at The Skyward House, you'll find a refined mountain home crafted with intention by Jade Mountain Builders and surrounded by layered views of the Blue Ridge. Follow the winding 2-lane mountain road through the gates of Whisper Mountain, where the scenery grows more extraordinary with every turn. Here, layers of mountain peaks stretch across the horizon and the beauty of Western NC becomes part of your everyday life. Set within a conservation-minded community, this custom home celebrates the mountains through extraordinary craftsmanship and a thoughtful connection to its surroundings. Locally milled wood from multiple species harvested on the property brings warmth to the interiors, complemented by wood flooring, solid-core tall doors, distinctive architectural details, a welcoming stone propane fireplace and 2 car garage. The chef's kitchen is a showpiece, featuring granite countertops and a custom mountain-range backsplash that pays tribute to the mountains. An office nook with a live-edge slab desk offers views and a pantry. The home is handicap accessible, featuring two private bedroom suites on the main level, plus an additional upstairs suite with its own sink and bar. Each bedroom enjoys a private full bathroom. The mountains invite you to linger over morning coffee while enjoying a beautiful east-facing sunrise on the covered decks. A propane fire feature, beautifully appointed with granite and natural stone, anchors the outdoor living space, creating the perfect setting for intimate gatherings and cool mountain evenings. Furnishings are available, making this an appealing turnkey mountain retreat. Whisper Mountain offers a lifestyle rooted in nature, with preserved green spaces, scenic hiking trails, spring-fed creeks, waterfalls, community parks, and the magnificent Sky Valley Lodge. With gated entry and paved mountain access, this is country living with intention and refinement.
