Welcome to Mountain Song Lodge! Mountain Song Lodge is a stunning, luxury 4BR mountain home, teeming with custom touches throughout, situated on a large private property that borders federal conservancy land and is only 6 miles from downtown Blowing Rock. Shopping, restaurants, horseback riding, water and snow sports, and more are all within ten to fifteen minutes in numerous directions. Walking and hiking trails abound within walking distance of the property. Rivers and lakes are nearby. Price Lake is only 2 miles away, and both the Watauga and the New River are within 10 miles.  Mountain Song was custom built to offer both mountain luxury and low-footprint sustainability. The property is well-landscaped yet left mostly natural with native Rhododendrons, trees, and other wildflower growth. Native materials like Poplar bark siding accents, Rhododendron branch railings, and the native stacked-stone fireplace anchor this elegant home to its Appalachian roots. Guests will feel both the well-executed luxury and the environmental responsibility during their vacation at Mountain Song Lodge. The main level of Mountain Song boasts a spectacular great room upon entering the front door, with hardwood floors and soaring vaulted ceilings. The great room is complete with leather furniture, a floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace, and an HD Smart TV. Adjacent to the great room is an open dining area with a banquet-style dining table that seats 6 to 8 guests. The kitchen, adjacent to the dining area and open to the great room, features a bar-height countertop for additional barstool dining for three more. The kitchen also boasts leathered granite countertops, custom-crafted cabinetry, high-end stainless appliances, and a gas cooktop with such luxuries as the pot filler and custom hood fan. The kitchen is equipped to prepare and serve meals to a packed house. Beyond the kitchen is a mudroom and laundry room, accessible from the garage for alternate entry into the home, with a washer and dryer, a wine fridge, and a desk/workstation. Off of the kitchen is a comfy screened porch with outdoor dining. This leads out to the rear deck and courtyard, with a gas grill, outdoor seating and lounging furniture, a gas fire pit, and a hot tub. All are tucked privately between the house itself and the natural living border between this property and the contiguous conservancy and parkway lands and trails. Also on the main level, outside of the front entry door, is a large covered front porch with comfy rocking chairs.  The King master suite is on the main level and has an HD Smart TV, a walk-in closet, a private front porch, and an impressive full ensuite master bathroom. The bathroom has a huge soaking tub, a custom slate tile shower, and a live edge vanity counter with "His and Hers" stone vessel sinks.
