This timeless European style home was designed and built by Dillard-Jones Builders, located in The Cliffs at Walnut Cove in Arden, North Carolina. Boasting spectacular views over the Blue Ridge Mountains, this home encompasses 4,989 square feet of living space with four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms.
Inspired by timeless European style, this home is a harmonious blend of Old-World charm and modern luxury. Inside, you’ll notice details crafted with the outdoors in mind, like textured tiles, rustic ceiling beams, and metal fixtures, The cottage-style stone of the great room fireplace is featured throughout the home, creating a particularly stunning transition from the main floor to the lower level.
The spacious rooms are oriented to take full advantage of the beautiful mountain views. The main living areas easily transition to expansive screened porches off both levels, and a butler’s pantry and grill patio make entertaining seamless. For overnight visitors, a separate entrance to the upper-level guest suite ensures maximum privacy.
As you approach this home, you’ll find yourself transported to an idyllic European countryside through the use of rustic shingles, wooden accents, and stone. Once inside, you’re greeted by an open, easy floorpan full of modern amenities, ready for entertaining.

Whether you’re waking up to a beautiful sunrise or unwinding with a novel you’ll love spending time in this cozy master suite. Expansive windows let in natural light and open up to a gorgeous view, while the coffered ceiling adds architectural flare.
Generous his-and-hers closets and vanities have plenty of storage space for your favorite clothes and beauty essentials, while the deep soaking tub provides a calming retreat at the end of a long day.
The lower level is an ideal place for casual gatherings with friends and family. A wet bar and beverage fridge make it easy to serve refreshments while you watch movies together. Or perhaps you’ll show off your favorite vintages in the custom wine cellar, which can hold up to 700 bottles from your collection.
During the colder months, turn on the fireplace and watch the snow fall over the mountains, or sit by the fire on the covered porch with a warming glass of red wine.
There’s no better place to watch the clouds roll over the mountains than your own back patio. Tell stories by the fire pit at night, or enjoy the simple pleasure of crackling coals and chirping crickets.
For a fabulous evening, gather friends and host an intimate cocktail or dinner party. Savor the moments as you watch the sun go down over the Blue Ridge Mountains.
