Riverbend Sanctuary
This architectural gem offers a seamless blend of luxury and nature, featuring panoramic river and mountain views, bespoke craftsmanship, and unparalleled indoor-outdoor living on the tranquil banks of the French Broad River.
You wake up to the soft sound of the French Broad River flowing just outside your window. Sunlight filters through the trees and into your serene primary suite, where the reclaimed hemlock ceilings and raw-steel fireplace add a cozy, natural touch to the space. Stepping out onto your private terrace, you take in the breathtaking view of the river winding through the lush mountain landscape, a peaceful start to your day.
After a light breakfast in the open kitchen—crafted with custom cabinetry and offering panoramic views of the surrounding nature—you enjoy the morning on your screened porch. The fresh air and tranquil scenery set the perfect backdrop as you sip your coffee, fully immersed in the beauty of your surroundings. You take advantage of the retractable screens to let the outdoors seamlessly blend into your living space, making it a true retreat.
For your midday workout, you head up the floating staircase to your home gym. The workout area is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows that make it feel like you're exercising in the heart of the forest. You then take a break in your home office, where the expansive windows continue to offer inspiration as you work, reminding you that you’re living in a true sanctuary.
In the afternoon, you relax in the lower-level family room, opening the sliding glass doors to let in the fresh mountain air. Outside, the bocce court calls for a casual game, followed by a stroll through the beautifully curated native plantings. The steel and glass wine room beckons next, where you choose a bottle for later, planning a quiet evening by the fire.
As the day winds down, you prepare a meal in the great room’s open kitchen and entertain family or guests with drinks at the full bar. As the sun sets over the mountains, you enjoy the warmth of the radiant floors beneath your feet, knowing that every detail of this home is crafted for both beauty and comfort. This is how you spend a perfect day at your Moon Shadow Lane estate—fully immersed in luxury and nature.
