The primary suite has two more fireplaces, a steam shower, soaking tub, mirrors with integrated TVs, and a walk-in closet with its own washer and dryer. Multiple covered decks that frame views that earn their own mention.

THE TOP FLOOR belongs to the kids — three sets of bunk beds, a gas fireplace, and enough room to disappear for hours. They'll never want to leave. Neither will you. THE BASEMENT brings two bedrooms, two game rooms/gym area with views worth working out for, a sauna, a hot tub, an outdoor fireplace, and a covered outdoor living space. The mountain lifestyle doesn't stop here — it just gets louder. THE GARAGE APARTMENT AND POOL round out the property with one of the only pools in Eagles Nest, complete with its own gas fireplace.

THE GROUNDS feature a boulder-framed fire pit, masterfully landscaped yard, and views so good they deserve their own listing. If you lost count, 8 bedrooms and 14 fireplaces. At 11,282 square feet of interior space and over 5,000 square feet of terraces, patios, and balconies, this is a legacy property. There is nothing else like it in the High Country.

The site is well-suited for luxury lakefront estates, a secluded residential enclave, destination retreat, wellness or education-based reuse, or continuation of institutional operations. Strategically located near Hickory, Mooresville, and the greater Charlotte region, this offering represents a high-barrier-to-entry waterfront asset with both near-term income potential and long-term development upside. Large-scale Lake Hickory opportunities with this level of shoreline, zoning, and infrastructure are exceedingly rare.
