From the Agent: "Welcome to a home unlike any other—an architectural treasure designed by Jim Fox, a protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright, nestled high above Highlands, North Carolina. Once the cherished retreat of Hollywood icon Burt Reynolds, this organic-style masterpiece blends native stone, cedar, steel, and glass into a seamless extension of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The welcoming foyer offers multiple entrances to the main level, the lower level, and the upper level. The heart of the home features a kitchen, sunken living area, and dining spaces that capture breathtaking long-distance mountain views. The current owners have enhanced the outdoor living areas with a terrace boasting a large stone fireplace, an in-ground heated plunge pool/hot tub and waterfall, a serving bar, and sitting and dining areas. The upper-level primary suite, accessible via a separate entrance, offers stunning views of the mountains and gardens. Two additional bedrooms are situated on another upper level. This estate provides the opportunity to own the very place that brought peace and joy to one of Hollywood’s most beloved stars."
Bruce Reynolds once said, "I own about fourteen houses. Whenever I am asked which one is my favorite, without a moment’s hesitation, I always say my house in the mountains."
