Sweeping views of Panther Mountain, Glassy Mountain, and Pinnacle Mountain take center stage at 817 Mountain Summit Road, a custom luxury residence located within the private gated community of The Cliffs Valley. Set on 4.81 acres and surrounded by mature hardwoods, blooming spring trees, azaleas, camellias, rhododendrons, and flowering plantings, this exceptional mountain estate combines over 5,120 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space with remarkable craftsmanship, privacy, and year-round Blue Ridge Mountain vistas. Designed by architect Gary Price and built by exceptional builder Rodney Edwards in 2009, the home was carefully positioned to capture long-range mountain views from nearly every room. The result is a highly custom residence where architectural vision, site placement, and top-of-the-line materials come together to create a low-maintenance mountain retreat with a truly distinctive finish. A striking Hardie exterior, stone accents, and grand double front doors create an impressive arrival experience. Positioned away from the main road, the property offers privacy, quiet surroundings, and a strong connection to the natural landscape. Inside, oak hardwood flooring, stone details, extensive millwork, and expansive windows complement the open-concept layout. The floor plan separates the home into two distinct wings while maintaining seamless flow between the main gathering areas. The dramatic great room features soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, custom built-ins, exposed beams, and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Adjacent dining and living spaces frame the surrounding mountain views while providing an ideal setting for entertaining. The main level also includes an office and study with built-in bookshelves and generous storage. The gourmet kitchen blends craftsmanship with professional-grade functionality. Custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a large center island, double ovens, warming drawer, ice maker, farmhouse sink, pot filler, and premium Miele and Wolf appliances create a kitchen suited for both casual meals and large gatherings. The main-level primary suite serves as a private retreat with spectacular mountain views, separate his-and-her walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath featuring heated floors, dual vanities, a soaking tub, walk-in shower, private water closet, towel warmer, and high-end fixtures. Designed for hosting family and guests, the lower level offers tall ceilings, a spacious recreation room, surround sound, wet bar with refrigerator, covered porch access, guest laundry, and generous bedroom accommodations. A temperature-controlled wine room with capacity for more than 600 bottles adds a standout entertaining feature. Fully heated and cooled storage areas with epoxy flooring, cedar closet space, and steel shelving provide exceptional functionality. The upper level offers a private bedroom or office with an ensuite bath, built-in bookcases, and additional storage. A private elevator connects the home's levels, providing convenience for everyday living and guests. Outdoor living is equally impressive with three porch areas, including a screened porch with fireplace, automatic sunshades, and access to a grilling or pizza patio. Covered decks, a chaise lounge area, and peaceful garden spaces create multiple settings for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the long-range mountain views. Located within The Cliffs Valley and convenient to Travelers Rest, Greenville, Hendersonville, and Asheville, 817 Mountain Summit Road presents a rare opportunity to own a luxury mountain estate with exceptional views, thoughtful architecture, outstanding craftsmanship, and a level of privacy increasingly difficult to find.
