461 Spice Bottom Trail

Welcome to Cider Stone Lodge. This extraordinary compound offers the rare assemblage of a true, private sanctuary on 51 acres of manicured grounds, threaded by cascading waters, long-range views, and a marked trail system that extends onto bordering Julian Price Park lands- all perched on Grandfather Mountain. Stretching over 3800 ft in elevation & nestled in a location central to Boone, Banner Elk, and Blowing Rock, this spectacular estate is a true legacy property, easily accessible year-round & offering ultimate privacy with the comfort of access through a gated community. 

Travel down a level, tree-lined lane past waterfalls and rock out-croppings to arrive at the 4 bedroom, 4.5 bath estate masterpiece where a unique mix of stone, wood, metal, & glass portrays a model of supreme craftsmanship and utmost attention to detail. An abundance of natural elements create an atmosphere that is harmonious with the nature that surrounds, with each window in the home meticulously designed to frame the Blue Ridge Mountain views and each space perfectly planned for comfortable mountain living. With "cozy-yet-spacious" being a theme throughout, each of the 4 suites offers impressive entryways, fireplaces, and baths while a bonus room and office areas offer flexibility. Stemming from the second floor is additional unfinished space, plus a room over the 2-car garage, providing easy expansion potential (for added bedroom, bath, bonus, etc). A 4-sided fireplace creates a dramatic scene upon entry and rivals the views as the focal point of the home while accordion glass doors open the living to the outdoors. The open kitchen features high-grade stainless steel appliances and custom design features including a unique curved brick cove ceiling. 

Features of the Grounds include a covered outdoor living and dining area with wood burning fireplace that opens to surrounding yards and patios, a heated plunge pool etched into the mountain landscape, a fire pit and bocce ball court, circular brick drive, and marked trail heads leading to unique settings including picnic area, "twin peaks" boulders, Spice Branch Creek, and National Park Lands. 

Sold furnished with minor exceptions.
