A Fairytale Castle - A Truly One-of-a-Kind Home! Perched majestically in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains in the gated community of The Sanctuary of Tryon, this unique castle inspired home captures the romance and mystical allure of castle living, melded with modern flair. This extraordinary property creates a breathtaking first impression with its dramatic architectural details, most notably the large stone-clad tower. A grand entryway accompanied by a massive wooden door leads you into the home where you will discover spacious living areas and unique design features, such as robust concrete flooring and large windows that invite natural light inside. The main floor includes a large cathedral ceiling living room with fireplace, a chef's kitchen, and open dining area, all allowing easy flow and ideal for family gatherings and entertaining. On the second level, two primary en-suite bedrooms with delightful views, and a flex space area. The third floor loft area in the tower is well-suited for a variety of uses, including home office or additional sleeping space, and offers two balcony viewing areas. The home's elevated position creates a sense of privacy and security. It also provides for vista views of the surrounding lands...from the grounds, inside the home, the tower balconies, or the rooftop terrace which provides 360 degree views, including spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Forget the notion that castle-style living means dark rooms, impractical spaces, or the upkeep of an old-world estate. This home offers the opportunity to enjoy something truly unique while still embracing the conveniences and comforts today's homeowners appreciate. Whether entertaining guests, enjoying a quiet evening, or simply admiring the beauty of your surroundings, this remarkable home offers a lifestyle that is distinctive and inviting. Why settle for an ordinary home when you can own something extraordinary. Convenient to town and regional amenities. Less than an hour to Greenville and Asheville. 1.5 hours to Charlotte.
