An Extraordinary 175± Acre Mountain Estate

5 Beds | 4 Baths | 175+/- Acres | 6,018 +/- sqft Tucked within the rolling mountains of Pikeville, Kentucky, Autumn Ridge Retreat offers an extraordinary opportunity to own approximately 175 acres of private Appalachian landscape. Surrounded by forested ridgelines, natural rock formations, and a serene three-quarter-acre pond, the property captures the quiet beauty and rugged character of Eastern Kentucky. Designed by architect Bill Richardson, the custom Lindal Cedar home was thoughtfully positioned to blend with the land, creating a seamless connection between architecture and nature. Stone used throughout the residence was sourced directly from the property itself, while reclaimed barnwood beams bring warmth and history into the design. As you approach the home, the craftsmanship becomes immediately apparent. The cedar exterior, natural materials, and expansive views create a setting that feels both refined and deeply connected to the surrounding land. Outdoor living spaces are thoughtfully integrated into the design, allowing the landscape to be enjoyed from every angle. Inside, the home opens into a stunning great room with soaring ceilings and abundant natural light. Large windows frame the surrounding mountains and countryside while a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the space, creating a warm and inviting gathering area. The open layout flows effortlessly into the dining area and kitchen, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The chef's kitchen combines natural design with modern functionality. Custom cabinetry was crafted to reflect the surrounding mountain landscape, while two large islands provide ample workspace and seating. A full suite of Thermador appliances adds contemporary performance, creating a kitchen designed for both hosting and everyday convenience. Just off the kitchen, a deck extends the space outdoors, offering an inviting spot for grilling, morning coffee, or enjoying the peaceful mountain views. Just beyond the kitchen, a private office and a spacious laundry and mudroom serve as a practical command center for the home. The main level offers thoughtfully designed living spaces, including one guest bedroom and a private primary suite. Inside, the suite features high ceilings, abundant natural light, and a beautifully appointed bath with generous space designed for comfort and relaxation. Elegant wood craftsmanship throughout enhances the warm and welcoming atmosphere, creating a true private retreat within the home. From the primary suite, step outside onto a private deck that connects seamlessly to a larger deck extending from the kitchen area. This shared outdoor space creates a natural transition between the home's interior and exterior living areas, offering the perfect setting for quiet mornings overlooking the pond or relaxed evening gatherings with family and friends. On the lower level, you'll find three additional guest bedrooms designed to provide both privacy and comfort. As you enter this level, a guest suite with a full bath offers convenience and a welcoming space for visitors. Just down the hall, a wraparound counter leads into a fully functional second kitchen, opening to an additional living area that serves as the home's second family gathering space. This inviting room features a striking stone fireplace paired with reclaimed wood accents, creating a warm atmosphere filled with natural light. Behind the fireplace are two more guest bedrooms connected by a shared Jack-and-Jill bathroom, completing the lower level's thoughtfully designed accommodations. Beyond the home, the beauty of the landscape truly stands out. A spacious concrete pool deck provides room to swim, lounge, and enjoy the peaceful scenery, creating a perfect place for outdoor relaxation. Just beyond, the land itself becomes a defining feature. A three-quarter-acre pond stocked with bluegill and largemouth bass reflects the surrounding hillsides, while a picturesque waterfall feature with controlled water flow adds both beauty and tranquility to the natural setting. The property also includes a 40 x 60-foot metal building, offering excellent space for storage, equipment, or workshop use. Additional highlights include a gas well and two geothermal HVAC systems, blending the property's natural resources with modern efficiency. Autumn Ridge Retreat is more than a home-it is a private mountain retreat where architecture, land, and lifestyle come together in remarkable harmony. Wendy Miller, KYAU #RP3428; KYRE #223639
