Get ready to be "wowed", or more aptly blown-away by this near 11,000 sq. ft. spectacular modern, arts & crafts, timber frame mountain style retreat lodge. With soaring vistas, high ceilings, massive timber frame structures, vaulted spaces, exposed wood beams, eclectic decor, and hardwood floors, you will immediately feel at home at Legacy Lodge. (That is of course if you can tear yourself away from the views, sitting by the fire-pit & soaking in the spectacle of the Blue Ridge Mountains, & actually venture inside!) The great room, with massive and stunning stone fireplace, and fully equipped gourmet kitchen, is where everyone will want to gather to enjoy their time together inside the house, with plenty of space for all. But, if you need some "alone time", there is plenty of space inside and out to find your own serenity. Dogs are WELCOME as well!
The estate offers a private swimming pool, hot tub, Game Room, and a plethora of outdoor spaces for relaxation and recreation. Kids love getting out in and around the expansive estate property, and walking trails & explore the other rolling outdoor areas. There are literally miles of trails to hike on the estate property. The expansive patio & deck areas are all around the Lodge. All of these afford additional outdoor space to relax & unwind. While everyone enjoys the outdoor trails & more, you can pull up a chair and take in the view, (the long & short range views are spectacular!!), observe the night as it fills with stars, and watch the fireflies come out to play in your backyard. Take a seat and enjoy the sound of nature and the serenity in your own private paradise at the top of the world.
