Welcome to Iron Horse Lodge, a newly constructed custom masterpiece ideally positioned within The Lodges at Eagles Nest, just minutes from downtown Banner Elk North Carolina and near the Great Camp Amphitheater and Epic Chophouse.
A refined blend of natural stone and horizontal wood siding defines the exterior, complemented by architectural shingle roofing and standing seam metal accents. Timber columns and thoughtfully designed stonework create a warm, mountain-modern aesthetic that blends with the surrounding landscape. Built with longevity in mind, Edge Vesta steel siding is incorporated in hard-to-reach areas, offering exceptional durability and reduced maintenance. A custom-engineered foundation with steel beam construction allows for a cantilevered design over the mountainside—maximizing structural integrity and long-range views. Designed as a primary residence, this home reflects a no-compromise approach to quality and craftsmanship.
An easily accessible driveway offers ample guest parking, complemented by an oversized two-car garage and an additional single-car garage. A thoughtfully designed mudroom with built-in laundry, drop zone, and custom dog wash enhances everyday functionality.
Step through oversized glass barn-style doors into a welcoming foyer, where a wine and cocktail lounge sets the tone for entertaining. A dedicated office with custom architectural doors offers a refined workspace before opening into an expansive living and dining area. Fully retractable glass doors connect indoors and out, leading to a sprawling deck with sunset views over the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The chef’s kitchen features Thermador Professional Series appliances, dual dishwashers, a wet bar/coffee station with sink and refrigerated drawers, and a well-appointed butler’s pantry with built-in desk, storage, and prep space.
The main-level primary suite is a spa-like retreat with fireplace, coffee bar, beverage fridge, and sink. Enjoy mountain views from expansive windows or step onto the deck to unwind in the Bullfrog 6+ person hot tub. The bath features a soaking tub, dual-head shower, and double vanities, while the walk-in closet includes its own washer and dryer.
Upstairs, a second en suite bedroom is joined by an additional bedroom with nursery, hidden door access, and a spacious walk-in closet. A large shared bath offers a soaking tub and dual-head shower, while a covered deck captures elevated views.
The lower level offers a spacious family room, bunkroom suite with full bath, fully equipped gym, half bath, and a wellness room with cold plunge and infrared sauna. Additional heated and cooled flex spaces provide storage or future expansion, including a theater room ready for customization. A partially covered deck extends the living space outdoors—ready for quiet mornings or cool summer afternoons.
Offered fully furnished with select exclusions, this home presents a rare opportunity to own a move-in ready, professionally designed mountain retreat without the wait. Interior design by Lucy and Company delivers a bold, curated aesthetic known for its presence in luxury publications.
