Perched nearly 5,000 feet above sea level on the slopes of Big Yellow Mountain, Autumn Ridge is a world-class mountain estate offering extraordinary privacy, panoramic views, and architectural excellence in Newland. Set within the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this 37.72-acre retreat commands nearly 300-degree views stretching up to 50 miles across layered ridgelines and soft, rolling horizons.
Surrounded by approximately 28,000 contiguous acres of federally, state, and privately protected lands across North Carolina and Tennessee—and located just one mile from the iconic Appalachian Trail—this estate offers a rare guarantee: your views and privacy are preserved for a lifetime. No future development will interrupt the serenity of this mountaintop sanctuary.
Grand Scale Meets Refined Craftsmanship
The main residence spans an impressive 11,772 square feet, thoughtfully designed to balance grandeur with warmth and livability. The home features eight bedrooms, nine full bathrooms, and two half-baths, making it ideal for hosting guests, multigenerational living, or luxury retreat-style entertaining.

The chef’s kitchen is a true showpiece, outfitted with an eight-burner gas range, two-foot griddle, built-in barbecue grill, double ovens, two warming drawers, and even a dedicated pizza oven—perfect for entertaining on any scale.
The dramatic great room, framed by massive exposed timbers, flows seamlessly into a breathtaking solarium wrapped in soaring walls of glass. A fully enclosed wraparound porch captures sweeping mountain vistas from virtually every angle, immersing the home in natural beauty year-round.
Modern Infrastructure & Engineering Excellence
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Autumn Ridge is engineered for durability and efficiency.

A residential elevator services all levels, combining accessibility with convenience.
