The ‘Glowing Hearth’ estate is a monster of a mountain retreat. With 5 cottages, a 5600 square foot family mansion and room for the whole family, even if you’re Greek.

Located in the upper Western corner of North Carolina, where summer temperatures rarely reach above the 70’s, and high in the lush Blue Ridge Mountains at a 3600-foot elevation sit 40 acres of expansive, bucolic real estate comprising this family complex.

One question, What else could you possibly need?  This property has just recently been reduced to, $5,850,000.  I don’t know about you, but that rocking chair looks like it was made just for me.
