QUOTE:
“This home is an architectural wonder, with a private creek and waterfalls directly alongside the home. It is a rare offering, as creeks are typically found at property borders and not near the home itself — and waterfalls are very seldom visible from a home. The estate is the perfect blend of luxury and privacy, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Parkway.”
- Jim Otterman, Premier Sotheby’s International Realty
