Eagle's Nest, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

Today's home is one of the luxury lodges in the Eagle's Nest enclave in Banner Elk, North Carolina. Why Eagle's Nest? A peek at the view gives an indication as to the name. This lodge home is part of a 1350-acre luxury camp perched in the Blue Ridge Mountains with stellar views. The community was envisioned as a luxury camp offering outdoor sports, an equestrian center, art studio, library and more for grown-up campers with money to spend.

Today's home is Lodge 24, a five-bedroom wood and stone retreat with exposed beams, a floor-to-ceiling fireplace and colored glass chandelier in the great room and a barrel-shaped wine cellar. The home has two master suites, two guest bedrooms, a gym, media room, and a gourmet kitchen which features a sexy river-like sink set into the wood counter. There are five fireplaces and multiple decks offering sweeping mountain views. This home is listed at $5.3 million.
