Get ready to experience North Carolina like never before at this exquisite estate surrounded by lush foliage and rolling hills. As soon as you arrive, you will drive into the gated, manicured entrance see the eagle on top for which the home is named. As you make your way under the timber-framed porte-cochere and pass the koi water feature at the doorway, you will already be slipping into a fairytale. The front door opens to a large living room featuring plush furnishings, eclectic decor, a bar perfect for entertaining, a gas fireplace to cozy up beside, and access to the patio which looks out to breathtaking mountain views. There will be no need to fret about mealtimes, as two kitchens and dining tables await to make preparing and enjoying meals together a breeze. The main kitchen on the upper level boasts a large pantry, double ovens, two dishwashers, and a gas cooktop. This level also features two bedrooms including the first primary suite with a gas fireplace, a flatscreen TV, a luxurious jacuzzi tub, and a covered veranda with mountain views!

The lower level will be the hub for entertaining those who want to indulge in a bit of friendly competition, as the den features a gas log fireplace, a pool table, and an open layout that leads seamlessly to the home office area, dining area, and second full kitchen. The unique wall of glass at the front of the home will allow plenty of natural light to flood into this lower level, especially if you are taking advantage of the desk and high-speed WiFI for some remote work. This level is home to three more bedrooms when it is time to get a bit of shuteye.

If you really want some peace and quiet, an updated studio suite is is accessible by a garage staircase off the game room. The studio offers a fantastic full bathroom, plush bedding, a small dining area, a Keurig for that morning cup of coffee, and a private balcony overlooking the property.

Best of all, the outdoor spaces available to you will complete this unforgettable escape. The covered veranda is furnished with comfortable seating, a propane fire pit, and a top-of-the-line gas grill, so summer evenings will be best spent outside soaking up the fresh air. Walk to the detached deck and you can soak in bliss with loved ones in the private hot tub. For a bit more action, the private tennis court will be just the place to practice your serve and play some doubles!

Awesome Outdoor Spaces
This beautiful, uniquely decorated place provided our family a great place to stay and enjoy time together. We spent countless hours in the outside spaces. For us, the couch and 4 chair set up around the gas fire pit, overlooking the mountains was was the biggest highlight of the house. Also, we were left plenty of propane so that was a plus. We also enjoyed the tennis courts and hot tub. Upon arrival, we encountered one bedroom not being usable due to a recent water damage, but a refund was issued to rectify the situation. So, I appreciated the customer service on that.

So close
The place is so close to being awesome but the lack of maintenance really shows! 1) We were given a gate code, the gate was not closed when we arrived nor did it ever close we fretted it might close on us at anytime. 2) the koi pond constantly leaks over the entrance way. 3) way too many light switches that seem to do nothing, labels are easy 4) guidance on the house surround system would be nice, never could figure out the downstairs and it was the third day before finding the controls for upstairs. Also would be helpful to dispose of all the old remotes and components. It is just confusing.5) were never able to get the TVs to work in any of the downstairs bedrooms the garage loft bedroom and the master bedroom. 6). The sliding glass doors and decks that were off limits were very inconvenient 7). The basement bedroom with twin beds had a blind in such a tangle it could not be lowered. 8) The dishwasher near the sink has a broken mechanism on the soap/pod dispenser. 9) the master bedroom was horrible! TV did not work, lights and heater in the commode room would not turn on, we used a flashlight. No power in the outlets. The GFI plug was tripped but would not reset. No lights in the closet either. Mold in multiple places in the shower. And the mattress was so broken down and hollow in the middle that we would roll into it and could not move away from each other. Finally the antiquated toilet had to hold handle for 10 seconds. There is more but your field limits length

Perfectly wonderful property. Accommodated 10 people comfortably with no issues. The grounds are spectacular and the back porch with its view of the mountains is out of this world. Would recommend this property highly!

Awesome staff trip
We thoroughly enjoyed staying here! We had 7 people in our group and we had so much fun hanging out together. Each person had their own bed and just a few had to share a bathroom. We learned that the thermostat for the two bedrooms on the main level is in the living room. There was no hot water in the kitchen, the baseball room downstairs or in the apartment above the garage. The shower drain was super slow in the bedroom main level on the left. We have notified management of all of these things. Just wanted to let you know in case they are not fixed before you come. None of these things damped and our time together. We thoroughly enjoyed the downstairs area where we were able to hang out, play pool, darts and have drinks together. We enjoyed the kitchen table where we played games and had lots and lots of laughs. We enjoy the spaciousness of the house and how everyone had their own place to go when it was time to go to bed. Awesome place to stay!!

Beautiful property with plenty of room to spread out. The only downside was that the water heater couldn't keep up for 8 guests.
