If you’ve been dreaming of leaving the hustle and bustle of the city or are looking for a new escape, this beautiful, modern smart home with rustic mountain charm in Blue Ridge can be yours for $5.8 million.

The three-story “Blue Mountain Oyster Homestead” is a contemporary retreat tucked away amongst hundreds of acres of undeveloped mountain wilderness, overlooking a lush twenty-seven-acre homesite with long-range mountain views and privacy in all directions.

Named and designed for post-COVID life by Lucy and Nick Small, the home features custom hardware, imported mosaic tile and locally sourced hardwood floors.

“We know moving out to the country is a dream for a lot of people, but it comes with a lot of anxieties about the unknown. While we were building, I was also looking at how everyone was reassessing their needs and the amenities that bring them joy during the pandemic,” Lucy said.

The 7,400-square-foot home features six bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms, a 1200-square-foot roof-top garden, hydroponic greenhouse, two guest apartments, meditation garden, children’s playroom, full gym, two home offices and a deck-level infinity-edge heated swimming pool with dazzling views.
