A sanctuary where rustic charm meets contemporary elegance.

Recently renovated from top to bottom, The Ridge blends contemporary design with mountain character across three levels — a light-filled main floor, a private upper level, and a walkout basement. Furnishings from West Elm, Pottery Barn, and Crate & Barrel throughout.

The signature moment: a long-range view of Grandfather Mountain, framed floor-to-ceiling from the great room and nearly every porch.
