This modern North Carolina home is perched on a hillside above the Blue Ridge Mountains, near the Pisgah National Forest in Rosman. Designed by MossCreek in partnership with Going Green Builders, the residence features a bold interplay of stone, glass, wood, and corrugated metal.
Structure and Materials
The 3,175-square-foot residence includes four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms. The main level spans 1,736 square feet, while the lower level offers an additional 1,439 square feet of space. The exterior showcases major curb appeal with dry-stacked stone and cedar siding set against a black standing-seam roof and corrugated metal accents, wide overhangs, and a stone chimney anchoring the entry.
Stepping inside, the great room opens up with a vaulted ceiling that draws the eye upward and floods the interior with natural light. A stacked stone fireplace anchors one end of the room, while a wall of windows on the opposite side frames the mountains beyond. Beamed ceilings add a rustic touch, grounding the contemporary lines with a sense of craftsmanship, and the whole level is built for everyday living.
On the lower level, two large guest suites, each with their own bathroom, afford guests plenty of privacy. An optional fourth bedroom adds flexibility, making the home perfect for multi-generational living or extended stays.

Interior Design Details
The stacked stone fireplace column running two stories through the great room is the home’s defining feature, visible from nearly every angle on the main level. Floor-to-ceiling windows keep the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountain views constant throughout the day.
The dining room features a live-edge wood table, while the kitchen includes a butler’s pantry and scullery. The spa-like owner’s bathroom includes a soaking tub, and the home office offers mountain views. A screened porch fireplace makes the outdoor living space usable well past the fall foliage season and is perfect for entertaining family and friends.
The design choices in the home reflect a careful balance between rugged materials and refined finishes. By using stone and wood alongside sleek metal elements, the architects created a structure that feels rooted in its environment without sacrificing modern comfort. This approach is increasingly common in mountain regions where the goal is often to respect the natural surroundings while providing high-quality living spaces for residents.
Guest rooms feature specific stylistic touches, including floral wallpaper and pink and brass accents. The lower-level family room includes a marble fireplace, providing a warm contrast to the cooler tones of the stone exterior.
