Echo Ridge

Nestled within the Cliffs Valley community, the home’s exterior blends stone, shake siding, and timber-framed gables to evoke a timeless, lodge-inspired aesthetic. Set on a gently terraced lot, stacked stone walls echo the landscape’s natural contours and reveal layered views of the Blue Ridge ridgeline.

Inside, a vaulted great room serves as the heart of the home, showcasing timber trusses, a dramatic stone fireplace, and expansive windows that flood the space with light and panoramic forest views. The kitchen was designed as both a warm gathering space and a high-functioning culinary workspace, featuring a sculptural range hood, creamy quartzite countertops, soft wood cabinetry, and a generous central island.

Architectural details, including groin vaults, arched openings, and exposed beams, create a cohesive design language that flows seamlessly throughout. In the dining room, exposed beams and a wall of windows dressed in patterned drapery set a tone of understated elegance. A glass-front wine cellar overlooking the staircase becomes both a visual focal point and a symbol of hospitality.

The primary suite is a serene sanctuary, with a vaulted wood ceiling, layered natural textures, and a spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a frameless glass walk-in shower. Additional bathrooms continue the palette with soft green tones, custom cabinetry, and clean-lined fixtures. A private study with built-in shelving provides a tranquil workspace, while the lower level expands the home’s entertainment offerings with a second fireplace, mirrored wet bar, and walk-out access to a secluded patio.

A screened porch with a stone fireplace offers year-round comfort, blurring the boundary between indoors and the surrounding mountain landscape.

Echo Ridge is a fully designed custom home, built with architectural and construction management by Gabriel Builders and interior design by Lauren Heather Design Studio.
