About 545 Chestnut Ridge
Step into the extraordinary at 545 Chestnut Ridge - an original chink log home thoughtfully reimagined and masterfully renovated in 2025 to reflect refined modern living while honoring its rustic soul. Privately nestled among the treetops in a gated enclave just seven minutes from Downtown Blue Ridge, this architectural gem offers a secluded sanctuary immersed in nature and luxury. From the moment you arrive, custom-forged steel doors set a bold tone, opening into an expansive living space where original rough sawn beams soar overhead. The open-concept great room is anchored by a stunning stacked stone fireplace, providing a warm focal point for the living, kitchen, and dining areas. The reimagined gourmet kitchen is a work of art-featuring custom black oak cabinetry, Carrara marble countertops, Kitchenaid appliances, and exquisite unlacquered brass fixtures that will gracefully patina with time. Three hotel-inspired bedrooms evoke a serene, boutique retreat, each curated with designer furnishings and plush bedding. The two spa-like bathrooms are a study in artisanal craftsmanship, boasting handmade Zellige clay tile showers, rainhead fixtures in unlacquered brass, marble floors, and custom glass enclosures. Outdoors, the experience continues. A large screened-in porch overlooks a lush green canopy, ideal for morning coffee or evening wine. Just beyond, a tranquil spa deck invites you to unwind beside the soothing sounds of rushing Charlie Creek-an unmatched Zen setting. Situated minutes from the area's premier hiking and biking trails in the coveted Aska Adventure Area, this property also boasts impressive rental potential with an estimated $80,000+ in annual revenue estimates from a proven local co-host (projections available to buyers). Furnishings, dcor, and curated contents are negotiable for a true turnkey offering. Where timeless design meets the soul of the mountains - 545 Chestnut Ridge is more than a home, it's an experience.
