Eagles Nest at Big Bear Estates
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Get ready to experience North Carolina like never before at this exquisite estate surrounded by lush foliage and rolling hills. As soon as you arrive, you will drive into the gated, manicured entrance see the eagle on top for which the home is named. As you make your way under the timber-framed porte-cochere and pass the koi water feature at the doorway, you will already be slipping into a fairytale. The front door opens to a large living room featuring plush furnishings, eclectic decor, a bar perfect for entertaining, a gas fireplace to cozy up beside, and access to the patio which looks out to breathtaking mountain views. There will be no need to fret about mealtimes, as two kitchens and dining tables await to make preparing and enjoying meals together a breeze. The main kitchen on the upper level boasts a large pantry, double ovens, two dishwashers, and a gas cooktop. This level also features two bedrooms including the first primary suite with a gas fireplace, a flatscreen TV, a luxurious jacuzzi tub, and a covered veranda with mountain views!
The lower level will be the hub for entertaining those who want to indulge in a bit of friendly competition, as the den features a gas log fireplace, a pool table, and an open layout that leads seamlessly to the home office area, dining area, and second full kitchen. The unique wall of glass at the front of the home will allow plenty of natural light to flood into this lower level, especially if you are taking advantage of the desk and high-speed WiFI for some remote work. This level is home to three more bedrooms when it is time to get a bit of shuteye.
If you really want some peace and quiet, an updated studio suite is is accessible by a garage staircase off the game room. The studio offers a fantastic full bathroom, plush bedding, a small dining area, a Keurig for that morning cup of coffee, and a private balcony overlooking the property.
Best of all, the outdoor spaces available to you will complete this unforgettable escape. The covered veranda is furnished with comfortable seating and a propane fire pit, so summer evenings will be best spent outside soaking up the fresh air. Walk to the detached deck and you can soak in bliss with loved ones in the private hot tub.
