Lost Ridge is a thoughtfully crafted luxury home offering breathtaking year-round long range mountain views from its private setting south of Blowing Rock. Enter the main level from the parking area up just 4 steps to a large deck. The front door opens into the spacious great room which features a wood burning fireplace between 14-foot tall windows allowing all the natural light and open, airy feeling you could ever want. The floor to ceiling windows make you feel that you are truly a part of the surrounding landscape while offering stunning, unobstructed mountain views. On the south side of the great room is the fully-equipped kitchen featuring a custom built island, stainless steel European appliances including gas range, and high quality silverware, knives, and cookware. There's room for 4 at the eat-in counter at the island, as well. At either end of the great room is a luxurious bedroom suite. The King suite offers a TV and sliding doors to the deck, as well as a private bathroom with a custom tiled shower. The Queen suite offers a sleek gas log fireplace and sliding doors to the deck, as well as a private bathroom with tiled shower. Each bedroom also offers solar shades for those who don't want to rise with the sun. Outside is a large deck with chairs to kick back and relax while you enjoy the views. Enjoy grilling on the charcoal grill. After dark, roast marshmallows and hang out around the campfire outside, then go inside and crank up your favorite vinyl on the vintage record player! Lost Ridge was designed as a sustainable net-zero off-grid retreat originally. There are solar panels at the home, and it is now connected to the main power grid as well with the solar panels being grid-tied so that the goal of sustainability is still met. The home offers in-floor radiant heat throughout, solar shades, and efficient mini-splits for cooling needs. Lost Ridge is intentionally situated off the beaten path with the goal of guests leaving renewed and refreshed. If you still desire a bit of city life, it is only a 30 minute drive from beautiful Boone and Blowing Rock where you can enjoy restaurants and shopping. Boone and Blowing Rock are both beautiful destinations that were very recently rated on Southern Living's Top 50 Small Towns!
