Property Description
For the very first time, this remarkable masterpiece is available to the public — a rare opportunity to own a Doug Sigler-designed home, crafted with the vision and artistry that define his legacy in Western North Carolina. Known for his ability to merge architecture with nature, Sigler created a timeless retreat at 496 English Lane that feels both elevated and deeply connected to the land. Set on 34+ private acres, the home captures sweeping mountain & river views while offering unmatched peace and privacy, with additional potential homesites throughout the property that also enjoy elevated view corridors. Walls of glass, soaring ceilings, and a handcrafted timber frame interior bring warmth and strength to the design. Expansive decks and terraces invite quiet mornings, starlit evenings, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Inside, the main level offers a dramatic great room anchored by a stone fireplace, with open dining and kitchen spaces, plus a light-filled loft above. A finished lower level with a kitchenette extends the living space, and a detached studio with a full bath, skylights, and a private deck provides a creative haven or guest suite. A whole-house generator ensures comfort and peace of mind in every season. Trails wind through the property to the North Toe River, while the internationally renowned Penland School of Craft—a vibrant hub for artists and makers—is just minutes away. Cherished by one family since its creation, this estate embodies art, architecture, and Appalachian beauty in perfect harmony.
