This $13.8 Million North Carolina Home Makes a Striking Statement Against the Blue Ridge Mountains
Earlier this year, a sprawling 160-acre farm came to market in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, and just over an hour’s drive away stands the unincorporated community of Arden, where a modern mansion set in the gated community of The Cliffs at Walnut Cove offers a one-of-a-kind design with breathtaking views of the bordering mountains for $13.8 million.
Nestled along a prime ridge, the custom-built residence at 515 Cloud Top Way sits on nearly two-and-a-half acres surrounded by lush foliage. The two-story address was designed by Young and Young Architects and built in 2022 using natural materials such as wood and stone, which complement its tall windows that frame the scenery. Six bedrooms span its 7,632 square feet next to five baths and two powder rooms. Its scenic-view infinity pool is also a stellar perk.

Past the driveway, capped by a three-car garage, a vaulted ceiling with backlit beams soars over the ample fireside living room. Floor-to-ceiling windows line the space with an alcove seating area and surreal views of the awe-inspiring landscape. The nearby bar room features a waterfall countertop made of stone, glass shelving for top-shelf spirits, and a see-through wine display accessed through double doors.
A glowing stone wall allows floating shelves and cabinetry in the eat-in kitchen to pop, next to breakfast bar island seating, while the formal dining area includes a similar detail that speaks to its grandeur. Upstairs, the primary suite continues to work with the architect’s generous use of backlighting to accent double-height window displays that feel reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright designs, which are known to prioritize seamless connections to nature.
There’s a professional gym, or you can also relax and entertain by the infinity-edge pool and spa on ground level, where an expansive patio includes a firepit and plenty of seating space for large groups. High-tech amenities include a Tesla powerwall, a gas generator, geothermal heating and cooling, and an array of solar panels. Residents of The Cliffs at Walnut Cove also have access to a clubhouse and Jack Nicklaus golf course.
Mark Zilbert of Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing.
