About this property
Large Vacation Rental Chalet Mountain Views 6 BR
Just 300 feet from the Eastern Continental Divide, this 5,000 sq. ft. mountain retreat was thoughtfully designed and built by its Civil Engineer–General Contractor owner. Every detail was planned for comfort, entertaining, and soaking in the spellbinding views. With 11 rooms and multiple decks, almost every space frames sweeping mountain ranges — from Grandfather Mountain to Tennessee.
Main Floor Highlights
→ Great Room: Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, hardwood floors, a stone fireplace, and a glass wall showcasing unforgettable sunrises and sunsets.
→ Kitchen & Dining: Fully equipped with a gas range, separate electric oven, and patio doors opening to the main 80-foot view deck.
→ Master Suite One: King bed, vaulted ceilings, private deck access, spa-style bath with double vanity, Jacuzzi for two, and oversized glass-block shower.
→ Master Suite Two: Expansive bedroom with panoramic windows, walk-in closet, double vanity, and glass-block shower. Wheelchair accessible directly from the garage — no steps or ramps needed.
Second Floor
→ Two Queen bedrooms, one with a private deck.
→ Shared full bath and balcony lounge overlooking the Great Room and mountain views.
→ Kid-Favorite “Secret Room”: A built-in playhouse tucked into the loft, loved by families.
Ground Floor
→ Master Suite Three: Sleeps up to 7 with two full/twin bunks (plus trundle), and floor-to-ceiling windows looking out to the valley.
→ Additional Queen Bedroom: With private deck access and spacious bath.
→ Large gathering room with wet bar, panoramic windows, and deck with a 5-foot swing.
Outdoors & Special Touches
→ Professional landscaping across timbered, multi-level mountainside terraces.
→ Ideal for small celebrations — the home has hosted intimate weddings (25–40 guests) and even two memorable engagements on its decks.
Location Highlights
→ 15 minutes to Stone Mountain State Park for hiking, waterfalls, and picnics.
→ 15 minutes to downtown Sparta for small-town charm, shops, and dining.
→ 20–30 minutes to the New River for kayaking, tubing, and fishing.
→ 30 minutes to Elkin, a wine-country hub with restaurants and galleries.
→ Just over 1 hour to Winston-Salem for museums, dining, and culture.
→ Minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, one of America’s most scenic drives.

About the host
Hosted by John Koz 704-560-0999
Our dad built this home for a marketing executive from NYC in 1966, and actually built most of those homes in High Meadows. He and mom bought it back in 1999, and have more than doubled the square footage over the last two decades. We just purchased it from them in 2021 in order to keep the legacy going. We love this home, and we are certain you will too.
Why they chose this property
From Dad:
My company designed and built this house at about half its present size in 1966. Years later we built them a bigger home two houses up the street, and sold this house to a couple from Florida. When it became available again in 1998, Nancy and I bought it because all the really good view lots had been built on and we had always dreamed of living on one of the spectacular view properties on Ridge Road. We gutted it down to the bare framing, doubled its size and built it all over again, finishing in 2000. We lived here for 10 years and then moved into a new home across the street in Olde Beau.

What makes this property unique
Having designed and built almost all the view homes on Ridge Road, Nancy and I knew that the view was good, but didn't know it was spectacular until we lived there. I didn't know that sunrises sometimes are as beautiful as the best sunset. Also, I had no idea that a full moon could be so brilliantly exciting. Watching lightning storms in the valley from up here is really special. So are fireworks in valley communities on July 4th. When the fog is lying in the valley, the mountain tops look like islands in a cotton sea. And every night when the lights come on down below, called 'valley stars' by locals, it looks like a large city. The view is different every day.
