The Space:
Escape to SkyFall, a wonderful 3-bedroom, 2-level mountain home perched at the very top of Fair Mountain. Nestled on 15 private acres of soaring trees and rhododendron forest, this unique house wraps you in total seclusion for a peaceful place to entirely unplug and unwind.
The jewel of this retreat is the large, covered porch, a favorite gathering spot for family and friends to relax and reconnect. This spacious outdoor living area comes alive around a magnificent wood-burning fireplace. Complete with ample seating, a large dining space, it's built for the kind of dinner that turns into a three- hour fireside conversation. From this sheltered vantage point, and through large viewing windows throughout the open-concept home, you can admire incredible, long-range views stretching along the Blue Ridge to Table Rock and Hawksbill Mountain. On the opposite side of the house, the west deck delivers direct, expansive views of Grandfather Mountain.
Down on the nicely landscaped, south-facing grounds, unwind in Adirondack chairs around a small fire pit, chase your pup on the grassy area, lay in a hammock, or play tag or cornhole.
The upper-level interior boasts a striking twelve-sided architectural design with a spacious, sun-drenched open-concept layout centered around a vented skylight. The well-appointed kitchen is complete with granite countertops and all-new appliances, and flows seamlessly into a comfortable living area anchored by a gas log fireplace and wrapped in massive viewing windows. A convenient half bath sits just off the living room. A 65" OLED smart TV with home theater makes for a great movie night.
Although the SkyFall is passively cooled by its eco-friendly design, ceiling fans, and soothing mountain breezes, AC is being added to the main level in the winter of 2025.
Retreat to the nicely decorated master suite, featuring a king size bed with a new high quality mattress and a custom, beautifully remodeled bathroom. Enjoy a private forest view grounded by a carpet of lush ferns.
Downstairs, the octagon-shaped lower level offers two additional private guest rooms with a Jack-and-Jill bath, giving your guests their own comfortable space. The front bedroom has a queen bed and bunk bed, with long-range views of its own. The private "birch room" has a queen bed nested in the middle of the lower level for those needing cocooned quiet for a good night's sleep. Both bedrooms have smart TVs. You'll also find a laundry area and a small game room on this ground level.
A brief 2-to-3-minute stroll beginning at the back of the house takes you to a spectacular rock outcropping with a small iron table and 2 chairs, offering a secluded spot for solitude and reflection with nature.
SkyFall is a dog-friendly, three-bedroom haven that blends magnificent scenery with unique architectural charm, abundant outdoor living space, and a chef-ready kitchen. It’s the ultimate mountain getaway for the entire family!
