With 5,207 square feet, five bedrooms, and spaces designed for gathering, recreation, and retreat, this mountain home offers room for everyone to find their own rhythm. Artisan woodwork, natural materials, and thoughtfully chosen finishes create a warm, grounded aesthetic that feels at home in the surrounding landscape, while the home's multiple living areas offer a thoughtful balance of shared gathering spaces and private retreats for family and friends. The main living level sets the tone with vaulted ceilings, a dramatic stone fireplace, and an open layout that brings the kitchen, dining, and great room together. The connection continues onto expansive outdoor porches, extending the living space into the mountain air and creating generous room for meals, conversation, and time together. A private primary suite offers a quieter place to unwind, while a dedicated office and thoughtfully designed utility spaces support the practical rhythms of everyday life. Downstairs, the home takes on the feel of a retreat within a retreat. A spacious family room centered around a stone fireplace and wet bar creates a natural gathering point, while the custom bunk room gives younger guests—and the young at heart—a space of their own. Additional en suite bedrooms offer comfort and privacy for family and friends, with flexible rooms providing even more options as needs change. Whether the day calls for games, a movie night, or simply having everyone under one roof, this level makes room for it all. Wellness and active living have their own place here, too. A large cedar sauna offers a welcome way to recharge after a day on the trails or a workout, while dedicated storage, a separate UTV garage, and a workshop reflect the realities of an outdoor-oriented mountain lifestyle. From gear and equipment to the everyday details that keep a busy household running smoothly, smart storage is thoughtfully incorporated throughout. Outside, the setting offers a particularly special feature for mountain living: level green spaces that invite everything from casual lawn games to children's play and relaxed afternoons in the open air. The outdoor experience continues at a rustic fire pit, where tree-stump seating creates an authentic, natural gathering place for stories, s'mores, and evenings beneath the stars. Enjoy a morning or evening stroll on the private trails that have been thoughtfully curated on the over 5 acres of forested property. Together with the expansive porches, these outdoor spaces offer a variety of ways to enjoy the landscape—whether the occasion calls for activity or simply slowing down. Built with an emphasis on lasting performance, the home also features an ICF foundation, ROXUL insulation, a metal roof, and a Briggs & Stratton 20 kW Fortress backup generator. These practical details complement a home designed not only for memorable gatherings, but for the comfort and functionality of mountain living in every season. At 137 Burningbush Trail, the home itself feels like a playground for every age—a place with room to explore, recharge, gather, and make memories. And at Blue Ridge Mountain Club, that spirit extends beyond the front door, with more than 6,000 acres of mountain landscape, miles of trails, wellness and fitness experiences, dining, and seasonal traditions that give every generation new ways to enjoy life in the mountains.
