A Mountain Place – North Carolina Mountains
There is a place hidden away in the “Timeless Blue Ridge Mountains” called Stonebridge, and where the homes are nestled among some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in the world.
It is a place where the developers sought out old log structures, that otherwise would have been lost to progress, and brought them to this mountain to create a sanctuary for those who value the homespun traditions of the Appalachian Mountains of yesteryear.
The homes in Stonebridge are constructed with reclaimed logs, native stone and wood-shake roofs. The settlement consists of over 500 acres that is covered with native hardwoods, conifers, flaming azaleas, mountain laurel, crystal clear mountain streams and some of the most incredible views in the North Carolina Mountains. Each home site was carefully placed in harmony with its natural setting for privacy and quiet enjoyment.
