About this home
Located in the coveted Sunset Section of The Lodges at Eagles Nest, the Eagles Nest Glass House is an exceptional custom estate redefining mountain living through masterful design and craftsmanship. Developed over three years, this architectural showcase occupies 1.033 acres, where rugged natural beauty blends seamlessly with refined elegance. The residence offers 7,055 sq ft of heated living space, excluding the three-car garage. Perched at 4,400 feet elevation, it commands panoramic views spanning North Carolina to Tennessee mountains, framed by awe-inspiring sunsets. The exterior presents a stylish mountain retreat with white pine-stained wood siding, expansive windows, and rustic metal beams. Over $250,000 was invested in professional landscaping, featuring natural boulders, enhanced lighting, and intricate hardscaping that create an impressive arrival experience. Outdoor living shines with 860+ sq ft of decking, a large hot tub, hand-laid stone pillars, and custom steel beams designed to highlight the sweeping vistas. An inviting fire pit promises memorable evenings beneath the stars. Entry by a grand custom glass door reveals a great room with soaring two-story glass walls that flood the interior with natural light while framing the stunning surroundings. Nickel gap white pine-stained ceilings with rustic beams combine rustic warmth and modern elegance, accented by hand-laid rock, light-toned floors, and a custom rusted gas fireplace. The gourmet kitchen impresses with Onyx Waterfall Island countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a wine cooler. The lower level houses a large custom bar, wine cellar, and a flexible bonus room suited for theater, family gatherings, or games. Throughout are handmade floating handmade stairs, custom wood ceilings, stone accents, custom glass windows, and exterior stonework. There are five spacious bedrooms, each with meticulously finished bathrooms featuring hand-laid stone, marble, various tiles, and teakwood benches. Two additional half-baths are located on each floor. Two generous primary suites, one on the main level and one on the lower level, feature spa-inspired bathrooms and conveniently located adjacent utility rooms. Above the garage, featuring hand painted bronze epoxy floors, lies a distinctive bunk room with a full bath and an expansive rec room. Roughly half of this 275 sq ft area features ceiling heights between 5 and 7 feet. The home is enhanced by commissioned artwork and custom furnishings throughout, reinforcing its one-of-a-kind character. Residents enjoy an extensive amenity offering including ATV and hiking trails, ropes course, playground, dog park, mini-golf, disc golf, archery, versatile sports fields, and courts for volleyball, basketball, tennis, and pickleball.
