Autumn Ridge is an extraordinary mountain retreat perched 5,000 feet high on the side of Big Yellow Mountain in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. From its nearly 300-degree vantage point, this estate commands breathtaking panoramas that stretch up to 50 miles, where ridgelines and soft, feathered vistas roll endlessly toward the horizon. Surrounded by 28,000 contiguous acres of federally, state, and privately protected lands in both North Carolina and Tennessee, and just a mile from the Appalachian Trail, the property guarantees privacy and the assurance that no future development will disturb the views in your lifetime. The main residence offers 11,772 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space and combines grand scale with refined craftsmanship. It includes eight bedrooms, nine full baths, and two half-baths, as well as an exercise room, a home theater, a bar with game room, a library, and a spacious loft. The chef's kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring an eight-burner gas range, a two-foot griddle and barbecue grill, double ovens, two warming drawers, and a pizza oven. The great room, framed by massive timbers, flows seamlessly into a stunning solarium with soaring walls of glass and a fully enclosed wraparound porch that captures the sweeping mountain vistas from every angle. Modern comforts abound, including a private fiber-optic network and a dedicated server room that connects the house and workshop with internet speeds of up to one gigabyte. A residential elevator serves all levels, blending convenience with elegance. Also included is a separate 1.5-acre parcel (517 Atria Ln.)with a commercial-style workshop and multiple storage buildings totaling 7,590 square feet. The workshop itself measures 2,561 square feet and is equipped with four oversized steel doors. Above it, a second-floor suite of offices offers 1,391 square feet of finished, heated, and air-conditioned space. Additional structures include two freestanding storage buildings, a storage trailer container, two storage sheds"”one oversized"”and a roofed open fuel shed. Security and connectivity are ensured with alarm systems, cameras, and Wi-Fi antennas that extend across all buildings and along the private roads. Constructed for both durability and energy efficiency, the home features concrete walls on the first floor and structural insulated panel walls, floors, and roof on the upper levels. Despite its scale, utility costs remain remarkably low, with the annual electric bill averaging about $1,966 and propane costs around $4,429. With its rare combination of spectacular setting, architectural excellence, and guaranteed seclusion, Autumn Ridge offers an unparalleled opportunity to own a world-class mountain estate at under $470 per square foot.
