A modern mountain dream house, designed by CBB Design Firm, is beautifully perched above Lake James in Nebo, North Carolina.
The community of Nebo sits along the shores of picturesque Lake James, nestled into the eastern edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
This lake house combines clean architectural lines with comfort. Every element reflects a seamless balance of function, luxury, and contemporary style.
The home turns a steep mountain lot into an advantage, stacking stone-clad garages and living space to work with the terrain instead of against it.
Inside, dark walnut millwork and stacked-stone columns keep the open floor plan grounded, while walls of glass pull Lake James right into the room.
The lower level features a wine wall, a three-sided fireplace, and a home theater that make this as much a retreat as a residence.
The owner’s bedroom offers a moody escape, spanning 360 square feet (18 by 20 feet). The homeowner wanted the space to feel dark and moody, while inviting the outdoors inside.
The designer used mirrors to create a focal wall that anchored the bed and made the view feel like an extension of the room.
Accents of Iron Ore by Sherwin-Williams were not only used in the bedroom, but can also be found in other areas of the home.
The gorgeous bed and nightstands were custom fabricated by Taracea Furniture for this bedroom.
The white oak flooring was also custom and was sourced from Canada.
The monotone bedding offers a textured appearance, paired with a modern cozy wing chair in the corner.
Custom wall paneling makes this room pop and enables decorative accents such as holiday wreaths and seasonal decor.
Overlapping beams in the cove ceiling introduce warmth and additional texture.
The chair in the corner of the room provides a cozy spot to read and enjoy a view of the lake.
The chair is from Ellen Degeneres by EJ Victor.
The wall sconces are from Hubbardton Forge.
The home features a covered patio and stone terraced hillside, perfect for outdoor living.
The outdoor living spaces and fire pit patio offer a cozy spot to relax and enjoy the surrounding scenery.
A custom bunk room showcases how the designer can add luxury functionality to any and every space.
The owner’s bathroom features a freestanding tub, while the guest bedroom has a vaulted ceiling.
The lower-level game room and fireplace offer a cozy spot to relax.
Additional bathrooms and guest suites are also available, making this home perfect for entertaining.
The home’s sophisticated design aesthetic is defined by custom Italian leather upholstery, beautiful cabinetry by Chris Smith, and refined details.
Every detail brings warmth, color, and sophistication to the table, making this home a true retreat in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Custom designs are used throughout the home.
