This luxury residence offers many highlights, from the Cedar Shake and Tennessee Fieldstone exterior to the light-filled interior with vaulted ceilings, exposed Douglas Fir beams and baseboards. The Bulthaup-inspired kitchen features artisanal design elements and advanced appliances, including Miele, Gaggenau, and Sub-Zero. Equipped with a whole house audio system, Lutron lighting, in-floor radiant heating, and a solar hot water heating system, no detail has been left out. A spacious primary suite on the main level offers scenic views, dual walk-in closets, a soaking tub, and direct access to the laundry/mud rooms.

The lower level includes an endless current pool with an outdoor shower, a sauna, two additional bedrooms, and much more. Outside, the covered porch features a stone fireplace, propane gas line for grilling, elegant custom-welded handrails, and optional canvas flaps for year-round enjoyment. The streams and extensive hiking trails adorning the property were created using elements from the land. At the northwestern peak, a custom Japanese Tea House, complete with a tatami floor, hosts spectacular views of the Blue Ridge mountains and multiple lakes. Seclusion from neighboring properties, protection from the north and west winds and a brief drive to the amenities of Lake Toxaway and Highway 64 provide a rare opportunity to live amongst the clouds. At Wolkenkuckucksheim, comfort and pleasure are immediately at hand.
