817 Running Cedar Ln

Property Description

Among the most remarkable luxury mountain homes for sale in North Carolina, 817 Running Cedar Lane is a French country-inspired mountain estate where exceptional craftsmanship, professionally designed interiors and breathtaking long-range Blue Ridge Mountain views come together in a setting that cannot be duplicated. Positioned high above the valley with an easterly orientation, the home captures spectacular sunrises and an ever-changing panorama of layered mountain ranges, drifting clouds and brilliant seasonal color. Road-to-road ownership provides valuable control over the foreground of the property’s viewshed, helping preserve the open mountain outlook that makes this setting so extraordinary. Inside, the residence is warm, elegant and entirely distinctive. The interiors were professionally designed, with furnishings, finishes and decorative elements individually selected to complement the home’s refined French mountain character. Substantial stonework, richly finished wood, exposed beams, graceful arches, custom cabinetry and carefully chosen lighting create a sense of enduring quality throughout. This is Western North Carolina luxury real estate at its most thoughtful, substantial without feeling imposing and sophisticated without losing the warmth of a true mountain home. The main level is designed around the view and the way people naturally gather. A dramatic great room with soaring ceilings, expansive windows and an impressive stone fireplace flows into the dining area and beautifully appointed kitchen. Whether hosting a large celebration, preparing dinner with family or enjoying a quiet evening by the fire, the long-range mountain views remain part of every experience. The main-level primary suite is a private sanctuary with its own fireplace, beautifully appointed bath and private balcony overlooking the mountains, the perfect place for morning coffee, quiet reflection or watching the clouds move through the valleys below. The finished lower level includes three additional bedrooms and baths, including a second primary suite that mirrors the comfort and generous proportions of the main-level retreat. This thoughtful arrangement provides exceptional privacy for family, extended-stay guests or multigenerational living
