About this home
Mountain farmhouse retreat in Blowing Rock's Firethorn gated community. Welcome to a traditional and classic mountain escape or permanent home, this welcoming and stunning 4,968-square-foot residence with a 925-square-foot apartment, seamlessly blends traditional mountain design with open, bright, spacious interiors set in the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. In the exclusive gated community of Firethorn, this private estate borders the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway and its protected forest. It is only minutes from the charming village of Blowing Rock, offering a balance of seclusion and accessibility to dining, shopping and cultural attractions. From the moment you arrive, a picturesque drive sets the tone for this peaceful retreat. The front porch is ideal for rocking chairs, inviting you to slow down and embrace the relaxed mountain lifestyle. Go inside to an impressive great room with soaring ceilings, expansive windows that bathe the space in natural light and breathtaking views that bring the outdoors inside. Professionally designed interiors feature custom lighting, window treatment, and curated flooring selections throughout the home. The great room and kitchen features shiplap walls and ceilings anchored by a cozy gas fireplace. The heart of the main level is the open chef's kitchen, outfitted with a dramatic center island, top-of-the-line appliances, granite countertops, a butler's pantry with a wet bar and a climate-controlled wine storage area, ideal for entertaining or enjoying quiet evenings. The main-level primary suite is a tranquil haven, featuring a spa-inspired bath, exquisite wallpaper, draperies and oversized walk-in closets. Just off the great room, an expansive covered outdoor living area includes a stone wood-burning fireplace and an outdoor kitchen, ideal for everything from intimate gatherings to festive celebrations. Upstairs, you'll find three spacious en suites impeccably designed for relaxation. The loft sitting area offers guests convenience, comfort, and privacy. For additional flexibility, a 925-square-foot one-bedroom apartment above the garage—accessible via private and interior entry—provides a fully equipped kitchen, spacious living area, full bath and great views. Note: This apartment is not included in the home's total heated living space as it is a secondary living quarter. With over 1,450 square feet of covered decking, you can enjoy year-round views of Grandfather Mountain. Also, the relatively flat, manicured one-acre lot provides generous green space and multiple outdoor gathering areas perfect for activities. A three-car heated garage, security system, Sonos A/V system, Lutron lighting control system, generator and elevated finishes throughout ensure luxury, comfort and peace of mind. Whether you're hosting a sunset dinner on the terrace, sipping wine by the outdoor fireplace or exploring the nearby hiking and biking trails, this home is more than a residence, it's a lifestyle. The Firethorn community offers peace and serenity, making it ideal for enjoying morning and evening strolls. Additional notes: Four-bedroom septic permit (five sleeping quarters, including the apartment). Professional measurements differ from tax records, but the total square footage is approximately 6,970 and this includes the main house, apartment, garage and porches. Furnishings available separately.
