Some mountain views deserve more than a photograph. From this exceptional Point Lookout Mountain home, layers of Blue Ridge peaks stretch across the horizon, clouds drift through the valleys below, and sunsets fill the sky with colors that must be experienced in person. Set on approximately 7.5 acres with an unusually gentle, usable homesite, this property pairs a spectacular setting with substantial construction and thoughtful everyday convenience. Originally built for a civil engineer, the home offers approximately 4,350 finished sq. ft., 4 bedrooms and 4 baths. Brick, HardiPlank and stone create a handsome exterior, complemented by a newer roof, paved driveway and striking natural rock formations. Insulated Superior Walls concrete foundation panels and 2x6 exterior framing reflect the care invested in its construction. Inside, the great room features a dramatic brick fireplace. The fireplace design has been described as a Count Rumford which was designed most efficient by Count Rumford and Benjamin Franklin. Well kept hardwood floors, a beautifully detailed ceiling and expansive windows that bring the mountains into the room. The home's distinctive south-facing design captures natural light and views throughout much of the interior. A spacious kitchen with island seating, Viking propane cooking area and generous cabinetry opens to the dining area and deck. Three attached garage bays include a separate single-car garage beside the kitchen, making grocery unloading especially convenient. The upper-level primary suite includes a mountain-view sitting area, separate dressing and vanity spaces, walk-in closets, a Japanese soaking tub and walk-in shower. An additional guest suite, an inviting loft with fireplace and wet bar, and an upstairs laundry room add comfort and convenience. A main-level bedroom and full bath, media room and office provide flexible spaces for guests, work and relaxation.
