Behind the iconic hand-crafted periwinkle gates of Bluescape, where the Blue Ridge Mountains meet the sky and three states unfold before you, stands an extraordinary artist’s sanctuary unlike anything else on the market.
Upon your arrival, a bridge carries you directly toward the main level as you catch a sweeping glimpse of a lower garden where a dancing girl fountain in mid twirl catches the light amidst a private sitting area.
Open the door and let your eyes feast on a view so stunning, “wow” is the only word that comes to mind. Every room dramatically captures the private majesty of 17,000 acres of national forest. Even in the kitchen, one sink faces the mountains while another faces the dramatic open living and dining spaces—filled with curated artwork. And every bedroom is served by its own full private en-suite, each with its own view of the mountains and sky.
Outside, a commissioned sculpture, a life-size rearing unicorn, presides over terraced gardens visible from both decks of this architecturally distinctive, contemporary mountain property. And a large deck spa invites you to further celebrate the breathtaking views.
But there’s more. A hidden garden sanctuary—pond, gazebo, benches, swings, streams and grounds reveal themselves only as you explore these amazing six and a half private acres facing 17,000 acres of pristine forest, mountains and sky.
This is not simply a home. It is a complete world.
