Expansive Views and Elegant Comfort Above the Clouds

Perched atop Slickrock Mountain at an awe-inspiring elevation of 5,000 feet, this elegant private residence invites guests to experience the Blue Ridge Mountains from an unmatched vantage point. Surrounded by unspoiled wilderness and blanketed in cool mountain air, the home offers sweeping, long-range views that transform with the light—sunrises, sunsets, and stargazing become part of everyday life. Whether viewed from the expansive deck, the bubbling hot tub, or through the great room’s floor-to-ceiling windows, the landscape delivers a daily spectacle of nature’s grandeur.

Inside, the home offers a refined yet welcoming retreat designed for gathering and relaxation. The main living area features a rustic wood-burning fireplace, perfect for cozy evenings after a day outdoors. A chef’s gourmet kitchen with high-end appliances and a gas grill ensures that meals are both a joy to prepare and to share—especially when paired with dining al fresco on the screened porch. Each of the three king bedrooms serves as a private suite, providing spa-like bathrooms and thoughtful finishes, while a large bunk-style room ensures ample space for younger guests or larger groups. The lower-level rec room adds a playful twist with a pool table, gas fireplace, and direct deck access.

Entertainment is woven into the home’s very design. A private theater room with a full projection system makes movie nights unforgettable, while the garage doubles as a fun zone with a ping-pong table and extra refrigeration for mountain adventures. Outside, an inviting stone fireplace encourages lingering under the stars with a glass of wine or mug of cocoa in hand. The home’s thoughtful layout and spaciousness allow for both quiet moments and joyful gatherings, making it an ideal setting for memory-making in every season.

Beyond the comforts of the home, Burnsville and the surrounding region offer a bounty of natural and cultural experiences. From hiking the scenic trails of Mount Mitchell—the highest peak east of the Mississippi—to trout fishing, ziplining, or exploring the historic charm of downtown Burnsville, opportunities abound. Premier winter sports await at Hatley Pointe, while nearby artists' studios and local markets invite deeper connection with Appalachian culture. Golfers, equestrians, and outdoor enthusiasts will find this area a playground for all interests.

Elevated in both altitude and experience, this mountain residence is a place where refinement meets the wild. With its striking views, curated comforts, and close proximity to outdoor adventures, the home offers a graceful blend of escape and connection—wrapped in the beauty of the Blue Ridge.
