Welcome to "Thistlewaite" - a European-inspired masterpiece in the heart of Highlands, North Carolina. Born from the vision of a creative Atlanta couple, Thistlewaite was modeled after an English country house designed in 1900 by renowned architect Edwin Lutyens in the Arts and Crafts tradition. To bring this dream to life, they assembled an extraordinary team: close friend and celebrated classical architect Norman Davenport Askins, legendary builder Tommy Chambers, and acclaimed landscape designer Alex Smith. The result, completed in 2009, is an architectural and garden jewel unlike anything else in Highlands. The property was originally part of the seven-acre site of the adjacent 1930's Joe Webb cabin and still includes its original spring house. To create the home's setting, a small clearing in the forest was sculpted into a flat homesite with a dramatic 24-foot retaining wall. Stone blasted from the site now forms the garden walls, seamlessly tying the residence to its natural surroundings. Cross the stone bridge over a rushing creek and be immediately captivated by the approach garden, a lush entryway that feels like a world apart. Nestled within virgin forest off Big Bear Pen Road, and bordered by Highlands Land Trust property with views of the historic Kelsey Trail, the home welcomes you through a distinctive gatehouse crowned with a zinc ornament salvaged from a circa-1900 Denver building. The gardens act as an extension of the home, with terraces, an outdoor fireplace, and a formal parterre. Two porches - an inviting entrance porch and a "drinking porch" off the living room and primary suite - overlook the gardens and enclosed courtyard. Inside, warm and gracious living spaces unfold: A keeping room with a stone fireplace shared with the kitchen. A scullery kitchen with ovens, dishwasher, and sink, keeping the main kitchen always ready for entertaining. A built-in bar leading to a light-filled room with courtyard views. A formal living room with another fireplace connecting to the luxurious primary suite. Upstairs, three to four additional bedrooms and a cozy second great room provide comfort for family and guests. Materials were chosen with artistry and authenticity: native North Carolina granite, rough-hewn siding milled from hemlock felled on the property, reclaimed beams and barn wood from Pennsylvania, and antique accents such as milestone at the gatehouse.
