This gorgeous home, which boasts sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains from its perch, was designed by Retro + Fit Design in collaboration with Living Stone Design in the community of Reynolds Mountain in Asheville, North Carolina. A recently retired matriarch wanted a spacious home where she could host her grown children and grandchildren.
Encompassing 4,849 square feet of living space, this five-bedroom (plus bunkroom), six-bath home was designed to maximize its surroundings in the Ridge Mountains. Sliding glass doors, expansive decks, patios, and a sumptuous swimming pool create a fabulous indoor-outdoor lifestyle with majestic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

On the exterior of this contemporary mountain dwelling is a mix of local fieldstone, cedar siding, metal, and Nichiha (on the far right) — a Fiber cement siding that is incredibly versatile and brings the look of wood. The panels offer a crisp, clean look for modern-style exteriors and are highly durable and easy to maintain.
